Breast augmentation is a transformative cosmetic procedure designed to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts. It’s often colloquially called a “boob job,” but in medical terms it’s augmentation mammaplasty. If you’ve ever wished for fuller breasts – whether to fill out clothes better, regain volume lost after pregnancy, or balance out your figure – breast augmentation could be the ideal solution. At Bruno Plastic Surgery, we have helped countless women in Northeast PA achieve their dream bustline with safe, expertly performed augmentations.
Why Consider Breast Augmentation?
For many women, breast size is tied to confidence. You might feel that your chest never developed to the volume you desire, leaving you self-conscious in swimsuits or low-cut tops. Or perhaps your breasts were satisfactory in your younger years but changed after life events – it’s very common for breasts to lose volume and firmness after childbirth or weight loss.
One breast may also be slightly smaller than the other, which implants can help even out. Breast augmentation can address these concerns by providing a customizable increase in volume and improved breast shape. Beyond aesthetics, patients often report an increase in self-esteem and femininity. They love being able to wear dresses without padded bras, or simply enjoy the proportional look that augmentation brings (for instance, balancing broader hips with a fuller chest for an hourglass figure).
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation consistently ranks as one of the top cosmetic surgeries in the U.S., with over 300,000 procedures in recent years– a testament to the high satisfaction and popularity of this procedure.
Bruno Plastic Surgery approaches augmentation as both a science and an art. Our goal is not to just make breasts bigger, but to make them look naturally beautiful on your body. Dr. Bruno takes detailed measurements of your chest width, tissue thickness, and considers your lifestyle (athletic? wanting a subtle change or a dramatic one?) to help you choose the right implant.
With our guidance, you’ll select the implant type, size, and shape that fits your desired outcome. We even use sizers during surgery to fine-tune volume if needed, ensuring you wake up with the result you envisioned
More About Breast Augmentation & Implants
During your consultation Dr. Bruno will evaluate your breasts and body type to develop the best treatment plan for you.
Patients today have more choices than ever when it comes to breast implants. The two main filler types are saline (saltwater solution) and silicone gel. Both have a silicone outer shell.
Silicone gel implants are very popular because the gel has a natural feel similar to breast tissue – especially the newer “cohesive” gel which maintains its form and isn’t prone to leakage Saline implants are filled after insertion, allowing a smaller incision and the ability to adjust volume precisely; they tend to feel a bit firmer or have more rippling in women with thin tissue but are still a good choice for some.
Safety-wise, both are approved by the FDA. Saline will harmlessly absorb if it ruptures (your breast just deflates). Silicone, if it ruptures, usually stays within the capsule – hence recommended MRI checks after some years to catch any silent rupture.
The risk of rupture is low, and modern implants are durable (often lasting over a decade before any issues). Implants also come in different shapes (round vs. anatomical/“teardrop”) and profiles (how far they project).
Round implants are most commonly used – they provide even fullness and a nice lift to the upper breast. Teardrop (anatomical) implants mimic a natural slope (fuller at bottom); however, they require a textured surface to prevent rotation, and those textures have been associated with the rare ALCL, so Dr. Bruno tends to prefer smooth, round implants for safety unless a strong reason for anatomical.
Round doesn’t mean “fake looking” – in fact, when placed under the muscle, round implants often settle into a gentle teardrop shape on their own when upright, and they give lovely cleavage.
Profile is chosen based on how wide your chest is and how much projection you desire. High-profile implants are narrower with more projection (good for petite women who want a bigger cup), whereas moderate profile are wider base, less projection (good for broader chests or a very natural look).
We will show you samples and photos to illustrate these differences. All these options might seem overwhelming, but don’t worry – Dr. Bruno will guide you through the decision process.
By the day of surgery, we’ll have a clear plan for implant type, size, and placement that aligns with your goals. Our patients often express how our thorough consultation and sizing session made them confident they chose the right implant. For example, you might try sizers in a bra during consult to visualize the change.
We also consider the future: if you plan to have children, we factor in potential changes; if you’re very active, we might advise a moderate size to not impede workouts, etc. It’s a very personalized selection process.
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Dr. Bruno uses meticulous techniques to ensure a smooth surgery and beautiful outcome.
The steps generally are: create the incision (usually under the breast crease for minimal visibility), create a pocket for the implant (either submuscular – under the pectoral muscle – which is most common for a more natural slope and less interference with mammograms; or subglandular – above the muscle but under the breast tissue – which can be considered if you have sufficient tissue and want slightly more lift or to avoid animation deformity when flexing muscles; sometimes a dual-plane approach is used which is a combo), insert trial sizers to check volume, then insert the actual implant once we’re satisfied with sizing symmetry, and finally close the incisions carefully in layers.
We often use the Keller Funnel for silicone implants – a device that allows insertion without touching the implant, reducing contamination risk (helps lower capsular contracture rates). The incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures under the skin, so you won’t have to endure stitch removal on the surface. We then apply surgical tape or glue and a light dressing; many patients are surprised that they do not have heavy bandages, just a supportive surgical bra.
Because this is an outpatient procedure, you go home the same day after a few hours in recovery. You will need someone to drive you and be with you the first night. Pain is usually moderate the first few days – described as a feeling of chest tightness or muscle soreness (like an intense chest workout). We prescribe medication to stay ahead of the pain, as well as muscle relaxants which help if there’s spasm from the muscle being stretched. Many women switch to extra-strength Tylenol within 2-3 days.
Expect the breasts to appear swollen, high, and perhaps a bit pointy initially – this is normal! Implants typically take a few weeks to “drop and fluff,” meaning they settle into a more natural position as the muscle and skin relax and swelling subsides. One breast might settle faster than the other – also normal, as bodies aren’t perfectly symmetric. We’ll guide you on massage or exercises if needed to help the process. By 6 weeks, they’re usually close to final position, and by 3 months, fully softened and integrated.
You’ll likely be up and walking (lightly around the house) the evening of surgery – movement is good to keep circulation flowing. Just avoid heavy lifting (not picking up anything over ~10 lbs, including kids) and raising your arms overhead too high for the first 1-2 weeks. Most patients can return to a desk job in about 4-7 days, depending on how they feel.
You will wear a soft surgical bra or a sports bra (no underwire) 24/7 for the first several weeks to support healing tissues. Bruising is usually minimal; swelling is more pronounced and can even extend a bit to the upper abdomen or sides initially. This all resolves steadily. We’ll see you 1 week post-op to check incisions and then at intervals (1 month, 3 months, etc.).
By one month, many women are back to most activities except strenuous chest exercises. By six weeks, usually cleared for full exercise. We do advise avoiding direct pectoral exercises long-term if implants are under the muscle – it’s not that you can’t ever do push-ups or bench press, but over years intense muscle contractions might push the implants apart or upward slightly. We’ll discuss how to maintain your results (for instance, always wear a supportive bra during high-impact activities to minimize stretching).
The results of a well-done augmentation are often life-enhancing. You’ll have fuller breasts that still feel like you – just enhanced. Many patients say their only regret is not doing it sooner. Tops and dresses fit better; you might find you love shopping for bras and swimsuits now that you have more curves to show off.
Perhaps most importantly, you carry yourself with more confidence. And if you had asymmetry, that’s improved too – implants can often even out a half-cup difference quite well. Scars are small and hidden, as mentioned in the FAQ above. Friends or coworkers might notice “something” is different (maybe you lost weight or got a new haircut? They may not pinpoint it unless you choose to tell).
That’s how natural our augmentation results aim to be – proportionate and flattering, not obvious bolt-on implants. Of course, if you choose a very large size, it will be more noticeable, which is fine if that’s the look you want. We respect each patient’s aesthetic – from subtle enhancement to clearly voluptuous – and tailor to that.
One question often asked: will augmentation fix mild sagging? If your nipples are still above your crease and just volume is missing, implants can sometimes fill the loose skin and give a lifting effect (often termed a “dual benefit” of an aug). But if nipples sag low, you might need a lift too. Dr. Bruno will be honest during consult – if an implant alone would give a subpar outcome (like snoopy-dog deformity or nipples pointing down), he’ll recommend adding a mastopexy. Sometimes a patient borderline for a lift opts to try implants alone first; that can work, but know you might need a lift down the line for optimal perkiness.
Breast augmentation does not interfere with routine mammograms – you just inform the technician you have implants so they use special techniques (Eklund maneuver) to see breast tissue better. It’s also generally fine to breastfeed in the future as discussed – incision placement like IMF has virtually no impact on glands.
All in all, breast augmentation is a highly rewarding procedure for the right candidate. The key is realistic expectations and proper planning, which we ensure through thorough consultation. When you are in the hands of an experienced surgeon like Dr. Bruno, who has performed numerous augmentations, you can feel confident about achieving a beautiful result.
Our patients’ before-and-after photos speak volumes – the improved fullness yet natural teardrop shape of the breasts, the virtually invisible scars, and the delighted smiles on our patients’ faces. We invite you to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward the curves you’ve always wanted!

FAQs
How do I choose the right implant size?
Selecting implant size is a collaborative process between you and Dr. Bruno. We take into account your desired cup size or look, your body measurements, and what will fit safely. During your consultation, we’ll have you try on silicone sizers in a bra to simulate different volumes – this is a fun and important step because you can see how various sizes make you look and feel. Dr. Bruno will measure your breast base width; this measurement suggests a range of implant diameters that would fit your chest nicely without excess sideways bulge.
We’ll also discuss profile (how much projection) – for example, if you want a lot of forward fullness, a higher profile might be used in a moderate-sized chest. We encourage you to bring “wish” photos of breasts you like (similar body frame if possible) – not as an exact goal but to gauge what you find attractive.
Combining all this info, Dr. Bruno might recommend, say, a 300cc moderate-plus profile silicone implant if you want a full C cup and have a medium frame. We often select a primary option and a backup (maybe 275cc vs 300cc) to finalize during surgery based on how it looks in real time with sizers. Remember: ccs (implant volume) doesn’t equal cup size universally – 300cc could be a B on one person or a D on another depending on their starting tissue and torso. Instead of fixating on a number, focus on the look you want.
Trust Dr. Bruno’s experience as well; he will prevent you from going too large for your tissue (which could cause complications like stretch marks or implant edges showing) or too small that you don’t notice a difference. One helpful tip is to think in terms of proportion – do you want your breasts to match your hips? To be just a little bigger than they are? To dramatically increase? Communicate that. With precise planning and our sizing session, most patients end up very happy with their chosen size.
In fact, a common comment is “They’re the perfect size for me!” We aim for that. If anything, Dr. Bruno tends to err on slightly conservative side if a patient is truly torn between two sizes, as you can always wear a push-up bra for more oomph, but if implants are too large, you can’t easily make them look smaller. But ultimately, you will decide what makes you feel most confident, and we’ll support that choice with professional guidance.
What is recovery like for breast augmentation? Will I be in a lot of pain?
Recovery from breast augmentation is typically quite manageable. Most patients describe the sensation as a feeling of chest tightness, pressure, and muscle soreness – similar to having done an extreme chest workout or wearing a very snug bra.
The first 2-3 days are the most uncomfortable. You’ll have prescription pain medication to use during this time, which significantly helps. Many patients find they only need the strongest pain meds for a day or two, then downgrade to acetaminophen or ibuprofen. We also provide muscle relaxers which address the pectoral muscle spasms (a common source of the tight feeling when implants are placed under the muscle).
You’ll be advised to rest but also move gently – meaning short walks around the house are encouraged even Day 1 to keep blood circulation and prevent stiffness. Raising your arms above shoulder level should be avoided initially; however, doing gentle range of motion exercises (like slowly extending your arms or combing your hair carefully) within comfort can prevent excessive tightening.
By around Day 3 or 4, many women turn a corner and have much less pain. It’s common to feel a “burning” or “stretching” sensation in the breast region as swelling peaks and then starts to resolve. Bruising, if any, is usually minor. You might also feel some odd sensations: numbness in some areas of the skin or heightened sensitivity in others (especially nipples can be extra sensitive or sometimes numb for a while). These usually normalize over a few weeks or months as nerves adjust. Fatigue is also normal the first week due to your body healing and the effects of anesthesia wearing off. Most patients are off prescription pain meds and moving around more normally by the end of the first week.
We see you about 5-7 days post-op to check incisions – at that point, many patients are pleasantly surprised at how decent they feel. If you have a desk job, you may return to work in 4-7 days, as long as you’re careful with your movements. If your job is physical (lifting objects, lots of arm use), you’ll need closer to 2-3 weeks and clearance from us. Driving can usually resume once you’re off narcotics and can comfortably control the wheel and react (typically after 5-7 days). You should not drive if you feel limited in shoulder movements due to the surgery.
The breasts will initially sit high and feel very firm – this is normal swelling and muscle tightness. Over the first 6 weeks, they gradually “drop and soften” (we sometimes call it drop and fluff). One day you’ll notice they look more natural and the upper fullness isn’t as rock-hard; that’s a good thing. We might teach you gentle breast massages or exercises around 2 weeks out, depending on implant placement and how your tissue is relaxing, to encourage even settling (note: not all surgeons do massage; Dr. Bruno will advise if it’s appropriate for you).
Avoid heavy lifting, intense cardio, or chest workouts for about 4-6 weeks. Light lower-body exercise like walking on a treadmill can begin sooner (after 2 weeks maybe), if it doesn’t make your breasts bounce. We’ll guide you. Wearing a supportive bra (sports bra or the surgical bra we provide) day and night is crucial in early recovery to minimize strain on incisions and help shape. You’ll also sleep on your back (propped up slightly is often most comfortable at first) for at least 3-4 weeks; no stomach-sleeping until Dr. Bruno okays it (usually around 6 weeks if you’re comfortable by then).
By 6 weeks, most patients feel fully recovered in daily life – able to do even strenuous exercise, push-ups, etc., with only perhaps some mild tightness. The implants might still be “firmish” to you but will continue to settle for a few months. Incisions are usually well-healed by then; we’ll show you how to massage scar tissue and advise scar creams or silicone strips to optimize scar fading. Energy-wise, you should be back to normal by a couple weeks, as the body’s acute healing phase passes. Some women experience emotional ups and downs during recovery (the “boobie blues”) due to the sudden change and any discomfort – this is normal and temporary. Support from our team is always available; we encourage follow-up calls or questions during recovery.
In summary, pain is moderate and short-lived for most, controlled well with medication. Each day tends to get better. By one week, many patients are doing routine activities with little issue. And the trade-off is worth it – within a few short weeks, you’re enjoying your new silhouette! Adhering to post-op instructions will ensure a smoother recovery and the best possible result.
Will breast implants affect breast cancer detection or increase my cancer risk?
This is an important concern. Breast implants have NOT been shown to increase the risk of breast cancer. Numerous studies over decades have found that women with cosmetic breast implants are at no greater risk of developing breast cancer than those without implants. Implants are one of the most studied medical devices.
Silicone and saline themselves are not carcinogenic. There is, however, a rare immune-system cancer called Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) that has been linked to textured implants (those with a rough surface). It’s not breast tissue cancer; it’s a type of lymphoma that develops in the fluid or scar tissue around an implant, usually years after implantation. It’s extremely rare (in the order of a few hundred cases among millions of implant patients), and primarily associated with certain brands of textured implants that are no longer widely used or have been recalled.
Dr. Bruno mostly uses smooth implants, so the risk is exceedingly low. Additionally, BIA-ALCL is usually curable by removing the implant and capsule if caught early. We inform patients of this for completeness, but want to emphasize its rarity.
Regarding breast cancer detection: Implants can obscure mammogram images to some degree, because X-rays don’t penetrate silicone or saline well. However, radiologists have techniques to maximize visualization. When you go for a mammogram, always inform the technician that you have implants. They will perform additional views (Eklund displacement views), where they gently push the implant back and pull the breast tissue forward to image as much of the breast as possible. This allows much of the tissue to be seen. Yes, there is a small percentage of breast tissue that might be harder to see on standard mammograms, especially if the implant is over the muscle (subglandular).
With under-the-muscle implants, more tissue is in front of the implant and easier to image. Studies show mammography is still effective for women with implants, but the sensitivity might be slightly reduced. That’s why some protocols suggest using additional screening tools like ultrasound or MRI if needed, especially if a patient has implants plus other risk factors. You should follow the normal screening guidelines for your age and risk (usually annual or biennial mammograms starting at 40). Implants might necessitate going to a radiology center experienced with implant imaging, but nowadays most are.
We also encourage regular self-exams once you’ve fully healed. At first, implants will feel firm, but as they soften, you’ll learn the new normal texture of your breasts (which now includes the implant). You can still feel your breast tissue on top of the implant for any unusual lumps. Sometimes scar tissue (capsule) or implant edges can be mistaken for lumps – during follow-ups Dr. Bruno can show you how to differentiate. Generally, lumps that are the implant edge will feel more smooth and linear, whereas a concerning breast lump is within tissue and feels distinct. If you ever feel something worrisome, don’t hesitate to see your doctor and mention you have implants so they can use appropriate imaging.
It’s also worth noting that research has suggested that breast cancer, when it does occur in women with implants, is not diagnosed at a significantly later stage than in women without implants – meaning with proper screening, detection is still early enough. Some studies even interestingly reported slightly earlier detection, possibly because the implant can stretch the tissue and make lumps more palpable or because patients with implants might be more vigilant with their breasts.
In any case, implants are compatible with breast health monitoring. Many women with implants go on to have normal mammograms and successful breast cancer treatments if needed (implants do not prevent treatment – they might remove implants during a lumpectomy/mastectomy or work around them).
Bottom line: Having breast implants should not deter you from routine cancer screenings or cause undue worry about breast cancer. Continue regular mammograms (with implant displacement techniques) and follow medical advice as usual. The risk of breast cancer is tied to factors like genetics and age, not implants. And implants do not cause cancer. Stay proactive with health checks and enjoy your augmented breasts with peace of mind.
How do breast implants feel and will they look and feel natural to me and my partner?
Modern breast augmentation techniques strive for a very natural look and feel, especially when performed by an experienced surgeon like Dr. Bruno. The final result’s feel depends on factors like the type of implant, placement, and how much breast tissue you start with. Silicone gel implants are widely praised for feeling soft – the latest cohesive silicone gels have a consistency much like a youthful breast (firm but with give). Saline implants, while still safe and effective, can be slightly less natural to the touch in women with thin tissue – they may feel a bit like a water balloon (with more rippling or slosh if not filled optimally).
That’s why many choose silicone for a more tissue-like feel. Over or under the muscle also matters: under-the-muscle placement often provides more tissue coverage over the implant, which makes the edges less detectable and the top more smoothly contoured. So if you’re thin, under-muscle silicone implants will likely both look and feel extremely natural once healed. If you have ample breast tissue to begin with, even saline can feel quite natural since your own tissue is what you mostly feel on top.
Right after surgery, implants feel hard or high – this is temporary. Over a few weeks to months, they soften significantly. By around 3-6 months post-op, most patients say their breasts feel like normal (just fuller!). When you touch them, the sensation in the skin returns, and the implants move somewhat with gravity like real breasts (silicone especially has this “gummy bear” quality that moves naturally with you).
Lying down, augmented breasts can still fall to the side a bit, though perhaps not as much as completely natural breasts if they are high profile (they maintain shape more). But a good augmentation should not give the “stuck on” look or feel – where they don’t move at all. They should have some jiggle and suppleness. We achieve that by pocket dissection techniques that aren’t overly tight, and by choosing an implant size appropriate for your tissue (too big an implant stretched too tight can feel very firm).
To you, they will probably feel a bit foreign for a short time simply because you’re not used to them. But you will adapt quickly – within weeks they’ll feel like “your breasts.” To your partner or others who may hug you, it’s unlikely they can tell you have implants just from feel. A well-done augmentation on someone with decent tissue can be almost indistinguishable from natural breasts by touch. If you had very little tissue to start, the implants will be more palpable (you might feel the edge at the side or the implant when pressing in). Still, silicone warmth and your body’s natural fat will cover it enough that many partners find them feeling great.
Visually, augmented breasts can look extremely natural or more “augmented” depending on the chosen size and shape. We tailor this to your preference. If you want the upper-pole fullness (the roundness up top), we can choose implants and profiles that give that slightly more “done” look. If you want the subtle slope, we adjust accordingly. Dr. Bruno often aims for a teardrop shape – a gentle slope to the nipple and fullness in the lower pole – which mimics a natural breast, because that tends to age better and suits most frames.
Another aspect is temperature and sensation: Implants won’t make your breasts cold or anything – they acclimate to body temperature. Initially, the skin over the implant can be numb or over-sensitive, but by a few months, for the majority, normal sensation returns (nipples included, though some have increased or decreased sensitivity permanently). This means intimately, you should enjoy feeling as normal or even enhanced because you’re more confident. Some women report their partners do not notice a difference in feel, or if they do, it’s minor and not negative. Often partners care more about your happiness with your body.
Keep in mind: properly fitting bras and good surgical technique ensure implants stay soft. Hard, overly firm breasts years down the line can be a sign of capsular contracture (scar tissue squeezing the implant) – which is not common (about 5-10% risk), but if it happens, we can treat it to restore softness. Regular massages may help keep the capsule flexible in early months.
In summary, after recovery, augmented breasts should look and feel like naturally fuller breasts. Many of our patients’ significant others say that if they didn’t know about the surgery, they wouldn’t have guessed by touch alone. Visually, in clothes and swimwear, the goal is an attractive but not obviously fake appearance (unless a patient explicitly wants a very augmented aesthetic, which is a personal choice). We take pride in creating results that get comments like “Your breasts look amazing – what’s your secret?” rather than “I see you got implants.” The secret is our careful planning and execution, resulting in beautiful, natural-feeling new curves for you.
How much does breast augmentation cost, and do you offer financing?
The cost of breast augmentation can vary based on region, the surgeon’s experience, and specifics of the surgery (such as type of implants used). At Bruno Plastic Surgery, we provide a transparent quote that includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia fee, operating facility fee, and the cost of the implants themselves. There are no hidden charges. In the Northeast PA area, a typical breast augmentation with silicone implants generally ranges somewhere around $6,000 to $8,000 total.
Saline implants can be a bit less because the implants cost less than silicone. Your personalized quote might differ slightly depending on if any additional procedures are done (for instance, a simultaneous minor lift or correction of asymmetry could add to cost). During your consultation, after we determine the surgical plan, we’ll give you an exact price breakdown. We understand this is a significant investment, so we make sure you know exactly what you’re paying for – which is high-quality surgical care and excellent results by a board-certified plastic surgeon and team.
Insurance does not cover cosmetic augmentations, so it will be an out-of-pocket expense. However, we do have financing options to help make it affordable. We work with reputable financing companies like Alle Cherry and PatientFi. These are essentially healthcare credit lines that often offer interest-free plans for a set promotional period (e.g., 6, 12, or 18 months no interest if paid in full in that time) or longer-term plans with low interest. Many patients use these to break the cost into monthly payments that fit their budget. For example, an $7,000 surgery could be around $146 a month if spread over 48 months with some financing promotions (just an illustrative figure).
We can assist you with the simple application process for these financing options – approvals are usually quick, and you can often apply online from home as well. Some patients also choose personal loans or credit cards – we accept major credit cards. Additionally, we may offer in-office payment plans where you can pay a deposit and then pay the balance by a date before surgery. Our patient coordinator will discuss all available options with you, because we want to help you make this enhancement accessible.
Keep in mind, when comparing costs, that “cheaper” is not always better in plastic surgery. You are paying for the surgeon’s skill, safety, and the quality of care. Dr. Bruno is highly trained and board-certified, and our surgical facility is fully accredited, which might come at a slightly higher cost than cut-rate providers, but your health and results are worth it. We’ve seen unfortunate outcomes from bargain surgeries (especially done abroad or by underqualified practitioners) that end up costing the patient more in revisions and stress. We pride ourselves on doing it right the first time. Our fees are very competitive for the level of expertise and comprehensive care you receive.
We also occasionally have special promotions or implant manufacturer rebates, which we can inform you of during consult if applicable. As for what’s included, our quote includes routine follow-ups – you’re not nickel-and-dimed for visits. The only extra costs you might incur are prescriptions (pain meds, etc., usually covered by your insurance plan) and your post-surgery bras (we provide one surgical bra; you may want to buy another or sports bras).
If you’re worried about cost, talk to us – many patients are pleasantly surprised that with financing, it’s quite feasible. Think of it this way: you might finance a car or an education; financing an investment in yourself – your confidence and happiness – is just as valid. And unlike a car, which depreciates, the boost in self-esteem from loving your body is truly invaluable and long-lasting. We’ve had patients tell us, “This is the best money I ever spent on myself.” That’s our goal – for you to feel it was worth every penny.
So yes, we absolutely offer financing and will guide you through that process. Our office will ensure you have all the information needed to plan financially for your breast augmentation. There’s no pressure – you can take time to consider and apply when ready. Once approved and scheduled, all that’s left is to look forward to your exciting transformation!
