Choosing Between Different Incision Locations

Before your surgery, Dr. Fisher will work with you to choose the location of your incisions according to factors like your body type, incision type, and implant size.

Inframammary

Placing the incision just under the fold that naturally exists beneath the breast (the inframammary fold) enables the scar to be nicely hidden under the breast.

Areolar

The areolar incision blends nicely with the textured skin of the areola that surrounds the nipple, making it especially difficult to notice.

The Day of Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Before the day of your surgery, Dr. Fisher will utilize your consultations to ensure your comfort and talk you through every detail of your procedure and recovery process. Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes between two and three hours to complete. During the procedure, Dr. Fisher will make incisions according to the surgical plan you developed together, and once the implants are placed, he will close the incisions carefully with sutures.

You’ll be able to return home after a brief stay in our recovery room, though you will need someone to drive you home as the anesthesia wears off.

Cost of Breast Augmentation in Westport, Connecticut

The cost of your breast augmentation will vary based on your aesthetic needs and goals. A number of expenses factor into the cost of breast augmentation, including the type of breast implants. Saline implants cost less than silicone or gummy bear implants, but each type of implant has its own benefits. Another factor is the complexity of the procedure. Revision breast augmentation surgery or breast reconstruction may cost more as they are more involved procedures.

Patients can expect to pay between $9,500 and $12,000 for breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Fisher. Schedule a private consultation today to get a comprehensive estimate tailored for you.

Rapid Recovery After Breast Augmentation

To enhance your recovery, Dr. Fisher has developed a rapid recovery protocol for breast augmentation. Most are able to be out of bed and feel comfortable moving around within the first 24 hours. You will need to avoid any strenuous activity for about six to eight weeks as you fully heal.

We will take care to provide you with any medication you might need to stay as comfortable as possible while you rest and recover, and Dr. Fisher will make sure that you’re given detailed aftercare instructions. We will also schedule follow-up appointments with you, to ensure that you’re healing properly.

Breast Augmentation Vs. Breast Lift

Breast augmentation and breast lift are two distinct cosmetic procedures that address different concerns related to the breasts. Here are the key differences between the two:

Breast Augmentation:

1. Purpose: Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to increase the size and enhance the shape of the breasts. It is commonly done for women who desire larger breasts or want to restore lost volume, often after pregnancy or weight loss.

2. Implants: The primary breast augmentation technique involves using breast implants, which are silicone or saline-filled devices placed either under the breast tissue or the chest muscle. These implants come in various shapes, sizes, and textures, allowing for customization to achieve the desired breast size and shape.

3. Lifting Effect: While breast augmentation can add volume and provide a modest lift, it is not primarily designed to correct significant sagging or drooping of the breasts. If there is substantial breast ptosis (sagging), a breast lift may be combined with augmentation to achieve the desired results.

Breast Lift:

1. Purpose: A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a surgical procedure designed to address sagging or drooping breasts. It does not involve adding volume to the breasts but rather reshaping and repositioning existing breast tissue to achieve a more youthful and lifted appearance.

2. Technique: During a breast lift, excess skin is removed, and the breast tissue is repositioned higher on the chest wall. The nipple and areola may also be repositioned to a more aesthetically pleasing location. The overall result is a firmer, perkier breast shape.

3. Volume: A breast lift does not increase breast size. If a patient desires both a lift and an increase in breast size, a combination of breast augmentation and breast lift may be recommended.
