Do I need a consultation for Breast Augmentation surgery?

We always recommend a consultation before surgery. It is important for us to meet with you in person to discuss your goals and review your options for surgery. This allows us to come up with an individualized plan unique to your surgical needs.

What is a breast augmentation?

In the simplest terms, a breast augmentation is a change in the volume of the breasts. This is achieved with either a prosthesis (implants) or fat grafting (suctioning fat from other areas of the body, like love handles, and relocating it to the breasts.)

How much does a breast augmentation cost?

The cost of a breast augmentation depends on the type of implant you choose and whether there is any manipulation of the areola. Get FREE consultation with Dr Castrellon Today!

What are the different types of breast implants?

Silicone and saline are the two materials used in breast implants. These materials look and feel a little differently in the body so the type of implant you choose will likely come down to personal preference. In addition to different materials, breast implants are also available in a few shapes: round and teardrop. Teardrop implants are very natural looking while round implants tend to look a little less natural.

How long does a breast augmentation take?

On the day of your surgery, you can expect to be at the surgery center for around 3 hours. The procedure takes approximately 1 1/2 half hours and the remaining time will be spent administering anesthesia and preparing you to go home.

What is the recovery process?

Since you will be coming out of anesthesia, you will need someone to drive you home from the center and stay with you for 24 hours after the surgery. You will be on narcotic pain medication for around 2 days following the surgery and NSAIDs are recommended for any pain after this time. You will be able to drive once you have stopped taking narcotics and most patients are able to return to work in 2-3 days. You will wear compression garments for 6 weeks and you should avoid strenuous activity and exercise for the same length of time. During recovery, it is important to sleep on your back or side.
