Breast augmentation is a common surgical procedure that increases the size and shape of your breasts. Your breasts can be augmented using breast implants or fat transfer.

What are the different kinds of breast augmentation?

There are two main types of breast augmentation: breast implants and fat transfer augmentation. Within those two categories, there are multiple different options based on how you want your breasts to look and feel. Certain breast implants are only FDA-approved for certain ages. It’s important to fully research and know the pros and cons of each option and to talk to a board-certified plastic surgeon before opting for breast augmentation.

What happens at a consultation for breast augmentation?

Before you undergo breast augmentation, you'll meet with your plastic surgeon. You should prepare for this consultation by thinking about what you want to change about your breasts. Remember, you're not seeking perfection, but improvement. Also, be sure that you're in good mental and physical health, overall, and that you have realistic expectations.

Your surgeon will ask you detailed questions about your medical history, including:

  1. What medications you are taking.
  2. What allergies you may have.
  3. Your smoking history.
  4. Prior surgeries
  5. Any previous issues you've had with your breasts, including lumps, previous mammograms and any family history of breast issues.

It may be helpful to ask your surgeon the following questions during your breast augmentation consultation:

  1. Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
  2. How many years have you been a plastic surgeon?
  3. How often do you perform breast augmentations?
  4. Can I see some of the before-and-after pictures from the augmentation surgeries you’ve performed?
  5. Should I get breast implants or have a fat transfer?
  6. What are the pros and cons of the different types of breast implants?
  7. Will I be able to breastfeed after breast augmentation?
  8. What are the risks of my type of augmentation surgery?
  9. What will happen if I’m not satisfied with the results of my augmentation?
