Compare the details behind your result
Dr. Borsting helps you connect implant features, placement, and scars to the look you want and the long-term care each choice may require.
- Implant type and surface
- When more than one option fits, compare fill and surface, how rupture may be detected, and the risks and monitoring each device requires.
- Dimensions and proportion
- Width, profile, and volume work together. Dr. Borsting considers how each choice relates to your tissue, chest width, and frame.
- Placement and incision
- Your consultation covers implant position, where scars may sit, and how those choices may affect surgery and recovery.
Volume and lift solve different problems
A clear plan starts by separating the fullness you want from any change you want in breast position.
- Breast augmentation
- Adds breast volume and can improve fullness and some differences in volume.
- Breast lift
- Raises and reshapes the breast. It may be considered with or without augmentation.

Is breast augmentation right for you?
Breast augmentation may fit when your breasts are fully developed and you want a personal change in volume or proportion. Your health, anatomy, and plans for pregnancy or breastfeeding also matter.
- You want more volume, restored fullness, or improved balance.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You can avoid nicotine and follow the care plan before and after surgery.
- You understand that scars, recovery, screening, and long-term follow-up are part of the decision.
What shapes a beautiful result
- Your breast tissue, skin, chest width, breast position, and frame guide the plan.
- Implant fill, dimensions, surface, placement, and incision each bring different tradeoffs to compare.
- Breast implants are not lifetime devices. Complications become more likely over time, and future surgery may be needed.
Return to your routine with a plan
Soreness, swelling, bruising, and temporary changes in sensation can occur. Your operation and healing determine when you can drive, work, exercise, and lift.
- Follow your instructions for incision care, medications, support garments, and follow-up.
- Plan for limits on lifting and strenuous activity until Dr. Borsting clears you.
- Arrange the help you need for work, exercise, children, and daily routines.
Understand the tradeoffs
Dr. Borsting will explain common, serious, and implant-specific risks before you decide. Possible complications include:
Dr. Borsting will explain the risks that apply to your exact plan and answer your questions before you decide.
- Bleeding, infection, fluid collection, or wound-healing problems
- Scarring, asymmetry, rippling, or changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Implant rupture or deflation, capsular contracture, or implant malposition
- Persistent pain, anesthesia complications, or another operation
- Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and other rare cancers in the capsule around an implant
- Reported systemic symptoms, sometimes called breast implant illness; their causes remain poorly understood
Know when an implant change needs attention
Contact your surgeon or another health care provider promptly if you notice:
- Persistent swelling or pain, or a new mass around the breast or implant
- A new change in breast size, shape, firmness, or implant position
Breast augmentation cost
Cost depends on the surgical plan, implant choice when used, anesthesia, facility fees, medical testing, prescriptions, and postoperative garments. You will receive personal pricing after your examination and treatment plan.
The $200 consultation fee goes toward the cost of any procedure or surgery.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need a breast lift too?
- Augmentation adds volume. A lift reshapes and raises the breast. If loose skin or nipple position is the main concern, a lift may be needed with or without an implant.
- How do I choose implant size?
- Dr. Borsting considers your breast width, tissue, skin, frame, and goals. Size, profile, and implant position work together.
- How long do breast implants last?
- There is no expiration date, but implants are not lifetime devices. Some patients need revision, replacement, or removal because of a complication or a change in preference.
- What safety information will I review?
- FDA-required breast implant labeling includes a Patient Decision Checklist and information for the exact device. Review the checklist, benefits, risks, and long-term monitoring before you consent.
- Can I breastfeed after augmentation?
- Breast surgery can affect milk production or breastfeeding. Incision choice, anatomy, prior surgery, and other factors matter, so discuss future breastfeeding plans during your consultation.
- Will I need future imaging?
- Routine breast cancer screening continues after augmentation. For silicone gel implants without symptoms, current FDA recommendations call for the first ultrasound or MRI 5 to 6 years after placement. They call for repeat imaging every 2 to 3 years after that. Symptoms or the exact device may change the plan.
