Breast Augmentation

Light activity is typically resumed within a few days. Upper body exercise is restricted for several weeks to allow proper implant settling and tissue healing. A personalized timeline is provided based on your surgical plan and recovery progress.

Implant selection is based on proportion, not preference alone. Dr. Gould evaluates chest width, soft tissue characteristics, and overall body balance to determine an appropriate range. The objective is a result that integrates naturally with your anatomy rather than appearing artificially augmented.

Many patients retain the ability to breastfeed, depending on technique and anatomy. Approaches that preserve glandular tissue and nerve pathways are prioritized when this is a concern. This is discussed in detail during consultation.

Breast implants are durable but not lifetime devices. They do not require routine replacement on a fixed schedule, but revision may be needed over time due to aging, tissue changes, or implant-related factors.

Temporary changes in sensation are common in the early healing phase. Most patients experience gradual return of sensation as swelling resolves. Permanent changes are less common and depend on anatomy, implant selection, and surgical technique.

Cost varies based on implant type, surgical complexity, and whether additional procedures are performed. A personalized surgical plan is created during consultation, and exact pricing is reviewed afterward with the surgical coordinator.
