Making Informed Decisions with Your Board Certified Breast Implants Surgeon
There is no perfect way to determine on your own whether Saline or Silicone, Round or Anatomic, or Smooth or Textured breast implants are best for you. Nor can you determine on your own the best incision for your particular case.
These decisions can only be made in consultation with your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. It is their job to translate your intentions, dreams and expectations into an individualized treatment plan.
To find a surgeon, either visit our Plastic Surgeon Locator or Ask a Breast Augmentation Expert your questions and a surgeon will get back to you promptly.

Breast Implants Surgery : What To Expect In Your Consultation
Once you've found the right breast implants surgeon for you, the next step is to prepare for your surgical consultation. You'll meet with your surgeon to discuss the procedure, how to prepare and what to expect in the way of immediate and long-term results.
It is also important that your surgeon consult with you to discuss your desires and expectations, as well as how breast augmentation surgery will impact your health, lifestyle and general well-being. It is a good idea to prepare by considering the following before your consultation:
- General medical history, including any genetic propensity for breast cancer, results of previous mammograms and any previous surgeries
- A detailed account of current prescription medications, supplements (vitamins or others) that you take
- Any use of tobacco or other drugs
- What are your motivations for surgery? What are your expectations?
At the consultation, your surgeon will:
- Evaluate your current health
- Examine the condition of your pre-operative breasts for size, shape and irregularities and photograph your breasts
- Based on the information gathered, your surgeon will discuss your surgical options and recommend a course of treatment
- Disclose the risk of common complications associated with breast augmentation surgery and the use of anesthesia
- Cover what to do the day of surgery
- Cover post-operative care and recovery
In the weeks before surgery, your surgeon may request:
- Further laboratory testing or medical evaluations
- Adjusting current prescriptions
- That you get a mammogram pre and post surgery to document any changes in breast tissues
- That you avoid the consumption of alcohol, drugs and abstain from smoking for a certain period surrounding surgery
