What Breast Augmentation Is
A 1-2 hour outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. The surgeon places implants either under the breast tissue (subglandular) or under the chest muscle (submuscular), through one of several incision locations (inframammary fold, periareolar, transaxillary). Fat transfer involves liposuctioning fat from another body area, processing it, and injecting it into the breasts in stages.
Who It Is For
Adults 18+ for saline implants, 22+ for silicone (FDA age requirements). Common indications: smaller-than-desired breast size, post-pregnancy or post-weight-loss breast volume loss, breast asymmetry, congenital breast deformity. Less appropriate: patients with active breast cancer, severe untreated mental health conditions, or patients with unrealistic size expectations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most-searched questions about Breast Augmentation cost and treatment.
How much does breast augmentation cost in 2026? +
US national average $7,000 to $14,000 with saline or silicone implants. Combined with breast lift: $11,000 to $18,000. Fat transfer augmentation: $9,000 to $16,000. Mexico medical tourism $3,500 to $6,500. Costs include implants, surgeon, anesthesia, facility, follow-up.
Saline vs silicone vs gummy bear implants? +
Saline: lowest cost, easier rupture detection (breast deflates), more rippling visible in thin patients. Silicone gel: softer feel, less rippling, requires MRI for rupture detection. Cohesive silicone ("gummy bear"): firmest shape retention, holds shape if shell ruptures, most natural feel, highest cost. Most patients choose silicone or cohesive silicone in 2026.
How long do breast implants last? +
Manufacturer warranty typically 10 years for rupture, lifetime against deflation. Real-world: 70-80% intact at 10 years, 50-60% at 20 years. Most patients replace implants once during their lifetime. Implants are not lifetime devices.
Is breast augmentation safe? +
Yes when performed by board-certified plastic surgeons. Specific risks: implant rupture (1-2% annually), capsular contracture (3-15% over 10 years), BIA-ALCL (1 in 3000 with textured implants - largely discontinued in US), Breast Implant Illness (controversial but reported). Smooth implants now dominant in US due to BIA-ALCL safety profile.
Can I breastfeed after augmentation? +
Most patients retain breastfeeding ability. Submuscular placement and inframammary incision preserve milk ducts best. Periareolar incision has slightly higher risk of breastfeeding difficulty. Discuss with surgeon if planning future children.
What is the recovery time? +
Most patients return to non-physical work at 5-7 days. Light activities at 2 weeks. Strenuous exercise at 4-6 weeks. Final implant settling ("drop and fluff") at 3-6 months. Lifetime of avoiding direct chest impact.
