Breast augmentation procedures are sometimes referred to as “boob jobs” and are one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed by plastic surgeons every year. Enhancement of the breasts’ size, shape, and contour enhances their youthful appearance and can boost self-confidence.
Although breast augmentation is the most sought-after procedure, breast lifts, and breast reductions are also commonly performed to enhance a woman’s silhouette.
Despite the common goals of these surgeries, each procedure has its benefits and limitations and varying costs associated with each one.

Question: I tend to go braless a lot when wearing tank tops and camisoles, especially in the summer. Could this have long term negative effects on my breast shape? Do you have any advice for how to help prevent breast sagging or help prevent worsening of my sagging breasts?
Answer: If your breasts are not properly supported, your breast ligaments can over stretch, which can make your breasts droop or sag. If your breasts are not supported, gravity can help to make breasts, especially heavy/large ones, sag or droop. It is important even for small breasted women to wear proper fitting […]

Question: What do breasts look like after the implants are removed and what if replacements aren’t wanted? Will the breast then be smaller than the original size? Saggy?
Answer: The breasts will look exactly like they did before the augmentation if the implant was placed under the muscle. Only the changes of aging, hormones and weight will affect the breast tissue that sits over the implant. If, however, the implant was placed over the muscle and was very large there may be sagging from the weight of the implant that stretched out the skin. But it should be noted that when […]
Recently, a myth started in the lay press that breast augmentation using your own fat could be performed during your lunchtime. Unfortunately, as appealing as this may be it is not true. The procedure of using your own fat that is removed from your body and then injected into your breasts may be a safe procedure however as a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon I would recommend that you wait until the clinical research is complete. As a member of our two major Societies, ASPS (American Society of Plastic surgery) and ASAPS (American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery) we only want […]
Question: I’ve heard that breast implants have to get replaced every 10 years, is that true and why?
Answer: This is not true. Breast implants do not need to be replaced every 10 years. However, saline and silicone implants do deflate slightly over time and replacement may be something some women consider. At 10 years the rates are about 10 percent for saline and 15 percent for silicone.
