Benefits

Every woman has her own personal reasons for considering breast enlargement. These reasons often include:

• Increasing the size of naturally small breasts
• Restoring breast volume that was lost after having a baby or losing weight
• Balancing the size of uneven breasts
• Enhancing femininity and self-esteem

Your doctor provides a comfortable, unhurried setting for your initial breast enlargement consultation. His friendly and approachable personality will enable you to talk openly about how you'd like to improve your body and feel comfortable asking questions without feeling rushed. Your doctor strives to clearly understand your goals and help you develop realistic expectations for your results.

1. 1 Our doctors perform rapid recovery breast augmentation in Austin, Texas. Patients typically return to work in only a few days.
2. 2 Our doctors use the Keller Funnel™ to minimize implant damage and incision length, and to prevent the implant from touching your skin or nipple during placement.
3. 3 We offer breast implant sizing in our office using the Mentor® Volume Sizing System to help you visualize what breast implant size will look best on your body.
4. 4 Dedicated consultation time is typically 45 minutes to 1 hour. You will always meet with a doctor during the visit.

Your Unique Enhancement

Once you've decided to proceed with a consultation, Dr. Kerr or Dr. Blagg will guide you through your breast implant options and choices for surgical technique to help you determine the right combination for you. Your decisions will include:

• Implant Material: Our doctors offer both saline and silicone implants to their Austin breast augmentation patients. Both types are approved by the FDA, and they each come with their own distinct advantages. While silicone gel is popular because of its natural look and feel, some women prefer the shorter incisions and lower cost that come with saline implants. Keep in mind that there is no "perfect implant" that suits every woman. Instead, your doctor helps you make this important decision based on your preferences, body, and desired outcome.
• Implant Size: This decision should be based on your aesthetic goals and unique anatomy. It's important to choose a size that's proportionate to your existing measurements – not just to for cosmetic reasons, but also to ensure your health. Implants that are too large can cause complications, premature sagging, or other unfavorable results. Our doctors are experienced in visualizing your results and selecting implants that can give you the final size you want.
• Incision Location: Depending on your specific needs, Dr. Kerr or Dr. Blagg may make an incision around the lower edge of the areola, called a periareolar incision, or along the breast fold, called an inframammary incision. In some cases, he can even access the breast tissue through an incision in the armpit, called a transaxillary incision. You and your doctor will thoroughly discuss your incision options during your consultation and pre-op appointments.
• Implant Location: The most natural-looking results are often achieved by placing the implant beneath the chest muscle, especially for thin women who have little breast tissue. The implant can also be placed above the muscle, but this uncommon.

For women who are also concerned with breast sagging in addition to lack of volume, your doctor might recommend combining breast augmentation with a breast lift to achieve firm, sculpted breast contours. For a more complete transformation, many women choose a Mommy Makeover. This customized combination of procedures is individually designed to improve multiple trouble spots in a single surgery.

Recovery & Results

One of the many benefits of choosing a skilled plastic surgeon such as Dr. Kerr or Dr. Blagg is that they use advanced techniques that help shorten the duration of your recovery and minimize discomfort. For example, using the Keller Funnel™ enables our doctors to make smaller incisions and results in less trauma to the tissue during the procedure. That means patients usually have less bruising and soreness. Patients who follow their postoperative instructions typically need about 3 to 4 days off work. It's important to move around even on the day of the surgery to enhance the healing process by promoting good circulation.

In the first couple of weeks, swelling and bruising gradually resolve by themselves. Your breasts may initially seem higher on your chest than expected, but that's temporary. After about 2 to 3 months, your results will become clear, providing you with the enhanced figured and boosted confidence that accompany breast augmentation.

Common Questions

How much does breast augmentation cost?

Few elective cosmetic procedures, including breast augmentation, have set price tags. That's because each procedure is completely customized to meet the specifications of each patient. Implant type, placement, and other factors can all affect pricing. In general, patients in and around Austin typically pay anywhere between $4,600 and $8,000, although there are always outliers. During your consultation, your doctor provides you with a written quote that reflects your specific surgery.

Can breast augmentation treat asymmetrical breasts?

Absolutely. In fact, breast asymmetry is a common reason patients cite for undergoing the procedure. For these patients, our doctors use implants of different sizes, carefully measuring and evaluating to ensure accurate results.

How long do I need to sleep on my back after surgery?

Sleeping on your back following breast augmentation is an important way to ensure favorable healing and an attractive, symmetrical shape. Dr. Kerr and Dr. Blagg typically advise patients to sleep on their backs for a few weeks after surgery. For women who are accustomed to sleeping on their sides or stomachs, this adjustment can be challenging. It's a good idea to begin the practice several days before surgery in order to train your body. Many patients also find it more comfortable to support their limbs with pillows. This helps them fall asleep and also prevents them from shifting positions throughout the night.
