Breast Augmentation in Plano, TX

Breast augmentations are the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery, helping women achieve fuller, shapelier breasts to enhance their appearance. At the Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas, we offer breast augmentation and other breast surgeries to women living in Frisco, Dallas, Plano, and the neighboring Texas communities.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical technique that uses breast implants to enhance the shape and size of the breasts. Many patients choose to have a breast augmentation to increase the size of their breasts and achieve a fuller, shapelier figure. Breast augmentation can also be used to correct changes in the breasts that occur from pregnancy and breastfeeding. Patients who have had a mastectomy may also choose to undergo a breast augmentation to reconstruct the breasts and restore wholeness to the figure. Our patients often experience a tremendous improvement in their self-confidence after receiving a breast augmentation, and enjoy long term mental and emotional benefits as a result.

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost in Plano, TX?

The cost of a breast augmentation can range between $6,000 and $7,200, depending on the types of implants and the extent of treatment necessary to deliver your desired results. If you are considering a breast augmentation, we ask that you come in for a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. During this time, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that will include the exact cost of treatment. At the Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas, we offer flexible financing options and accept all major credit cards to keep this treatment affordable and accessible.

What Kind of Breast Implants Can I Choose From?

There are many options when considering a breast augmentation, one of these being the type of breast implants used. The Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas offers silicone implants as well as saline implants. At the Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas, we use Natrelle® breast implants for our silicone implant procedures. We also offer the IDEAL IMPLANT® as a saline breast implant option.

How is Breast Augmentation Performed?

The breast augmentation procedure will vary slightly depending on the location of the incisions and the position of the implants. We will use one of four incision locations for your breast augmentation procedure:

  • Inframammary fold incision – This incision is made in the crease underneath the breasts and is one of the most commonly used techniques.
  • Periareolar incision – This incision is made around the circumference of the nipple, creating a scar that blends in after healing.
  • Transaxillary incision – With this technique, incisions are made in the armpits. This is a popular location because it leaves no scarring on the breasts.
  • TUBA – The transumbilical breast augmentation approach involves a single incision in the belly button. Through this incision, implants are inserted and filled using a tube that reaches up to the breasts. 

You also have the option of choosing the location of the implants, either above or beneath the pectoral muscles. The submuscular (beneath the muscle) position offers additional protection and may interfere less with mammograms. The subglandular (above the muscle) position often results in less discomfort and a quicker recovery. Each option has pros and cons that you will have to consider before your treatment.

What is Recovery like After Breast Augmentation?

The recovery process after a breast augmentation can last anywhere from two to four weeks. During this time, you may experience mild swelling, bruising, and sensitivity. Patients may need to take time off of work or other activities to ensure that the body can heal properly. At your initial consultation, we will provide you with additional instructions regarding your recovery and what you can expect after your procedure.

Are There Any Risks Involved with Breast Augmentation?

With all surgical procedures, there is always a risk of complication. The most common risk that comes with breast augmentation is capsular contracture. This happens when scar tissue forms and hardens around the implant, causing discomfort or changes in the shape of the breast. In the event that you have developed capsular contracture, we do offer capsular contracture treatment, which typically involves the surgical removal of scar tissue. Additional risks of breast augmentation include infection and changes in nipple sensitivity. There is no link between breast augmentation and breast cancer, but implants can make it more difficult to get reliable x-rays from a mammogram.

Is Breast Augmentation Right for Me?

If you are dissatisfied with the size of your breasts, are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and are in good general health, you may be a good candidate for breast augmentation. As with all cosmetic surgeries, it is important to have realistic expectations going into your procedure. If you are considering breast augmentation, we invite you to schedule a consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons to discuss your cosmetic goals and develop a personalized treatment plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most patients find that silicone breast implants are a more natural-feeling implant than saline breast implants. However, the Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas also offers the IDEAL Implant®, which offers the natural look of silicone implants while also offering the benefits of saline implants.
The most common size breast implants are between 350 cc and 400 cc. However, the proper implant size will vary significantly based on a patient’s proportions and desired results. At Plastic & Cosmetic Surgery Center of Texas, we take many factors into consideration in order to select the breast implant size that will give you the best results.
Following a breast surgery, you should avoid tobacco and alcohol, as they will restrict your body’s healing process. Additionally, you should sleep on your back and get as much rest as possible. Exercise, heavy lifting and related chores can stress the body, slowing down healing and affect your results.
Generally, a boob job can take between one and two months to heal. Most patients notice that the majority of their side effects resolve in a few weeks, but there can be some residual side effects that last a few weeks longer. Your recovery process may also vary depending on the size, location and type of implants you receive
While there is always a risk of breast augmentation affecting your nerves and ducts, most women are perfectly capable of breastfeeding after their surgery. As long as you follow the recovery protocol, your ability to breastfeed should not be impaired. If you are concerned about this risk, be sure to discuss your concerns with your surgeon prior to treatment.
