Could this be right for you?
A consultation is needed to decide whether surgery fits your health, anatomy, and goals. These points often form part of that review.
- Your breasts are fully developed.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You can describe the change you want without relying on an exact cup size.
- You understand that scars, recovery, and long-term follow-up are part of the decision.
- You can follow the care plan before and after surgery.
Choose the look that feels right for you
Size is only one part of an implant-based plan. Dr. Borsting reviews how each decision relates to your anatomy and the change you want.
- Volume and position
- Augmentation adds volume. It does not replace a breast lift when loose skin or breast position is the main concern.
- Dimensions and proportion
- Width, profile, and volume work together. The plan must fit your breast tissue, skin, chest width, and frame.
- Incision and placement
- The consultation covers where scars may sit and how the implant position may affect the operation and recovery.
- Long-term follow-up
- Breast implants are not lifetime devices. Future imaging, revision, removal, or replacement may be needed.
Volume and lift solve different problems
The first useful distinction is whether you want more volume, a change in breast position, or both.
- Augmentation
- Adds breast volume. It may improve fullness and some differences in volume.
- Breast lift
- Changes breast shape and position. It may be considered with or without augmentation.
Turn your vision into a personal plan
Your consultation turns a broad goal into a plan that can be evaluated. It also identifies limits that photos and cup sizes cannot show.
- 1
Health and breast history
Review your health history, medications, family breast history, screening, and any prior breast procedure.
- 2
Anatomy and measurements
Dr. Borsting examines your breast tissue, skin, chest width, breast position, and existing differences.
- 3
Tradeoffs and follow-up
Discuss scars, recovery, implant-specific risks, future imaging, and reasons that another operation may be needed.
Plan your recovery with confidence
Soreness, swelling, bruising, and temporary changes in sensation can occur. There is no fixed return-to-work or exercise date that fits every patient.
- Follow the instructions for incision care, medications, support garments, and follow-up.
- Plan for limits on lifting and strenuous activity until Dr. Borsting clears you.
- Ask how your job, caregiving duties, and exercise routine affect the plan.
Know what to expect
The consultation must cover the benefits, limits, and possible complications of the exact plan. Risks can include:
- Bleeding or infection
- Scarring, asymmetry, or changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Implant rupture or deflation, capsular contracture, or implant malposition
- Pain, anesthesia complications, or another operation
Dr. Borsting will explain the risks that apply to your exact plan and answer your questions before you decide.
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 individualized pricing after your examination and treatment plan.
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.
- Can I breastfeed after augmentation?
- Many patients can breastfeed after augmentation, but no operation can guarantee it. Incision choice, anatomy, prior surgery, and other factors can affect milk production.
- Will I need future imaging?
- Yes. Follow routine breast-screening guidance and the implant-specific imaging plan discussed with Dr. Borsting.
