About Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation remains the most-performed cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States, with approximately 365,000 procedures annually. The procedure uses saline implants, silicone gel implants ("gummy bear" cohesive silicone), or autologous fat transfer to increase breast size and reshape the chest. Average US cost in 2026 runs $7,000 to $14,000 with implants and $9,000 to $16,000 for fat transfer (which requires liposuction). Mexico medical tourism runs $3,500 to $6,500.

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.

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.

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.
