Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that increases breast size and fullness using silicone or saline implants. It can address a variety of concerns, including:
During your consultation, Dr. Alford will discuss your goals, medical history and recommend the most suitable implant type, size, and placement. The surgery itself is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. The procedure involves making small incisions, creating a pocket for the implant, and carefully inserting it. Dr. Alford prioritizes minimally invasive techniques to minimize scarring and ensure optimal healing.
Breast augmentation can positively impact your life in many ways:
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation in Hinsdale are generally in good health, have realistic expectations, and are non-smokers. During your consultation, Dr. Alford will discuss your candidacy and suitability for the procedure.
Most of our Hinsdale Breast Augmentation patients experience minimal discomfort after surgery. Dr. Alford will provide detailed post-operative instructions to ensure optimal healing. You can typically return to most daily activities within a week or two, with swelling gradually subsiding over several weeks.
You will begin to see noticeable improvements within a few weeks, with final results typically achieved within 3-6 months as swelling subsides. Breast augmentation results are long-lasting, but weight fluctuations and aging can affect their appearance.
Breast implants come in two main shell types: silicone gel and saline. Silicone gel implants feel more natural, while saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater solution and may feel less natural but can be a good choice for some patients. Dr. Alford will discuss the pros and cons of each option during your consultation to help you decide which is best for you.
Breast augmentation results can be long-lasting, but several factors can influence their longevity. These include the type of procedure performed, implant choice (if applicable), weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and the natural aging process. Dr. Alford can provide a more specific estimate based on your case.
The ability to breastfeed after breast augmentation can vary depending on several factors, including the placement and type of implant used. If breastfeeding is important to you, Dr. Alford will discuss this possibility during your consultation and advise you on the best course of action.
The cost of breast augmentation can vary depending on the specific procedure performed, the type of implant used (if applicable), and facility fees. During your consultation, Dr. Alford and our team will provide a personalized breakdown of the costs associated with your desired outcome.
