Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that is used to increase the size and enhance the shape of the breasts. It is often performed using breast implants, which are silicone or saline-filled bags that are inserted into the breasts to add volume and shape. Breast augmentation can be performed for a variety of reasons, including to improve the balance of the body, to correct asymmetry or deformities, or to restore volume that has been lost due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.

CONCERNING THE COST OF BREAST AUGMENTATIONS

Having breast augmentation can be expensive, so Ridgewood Plastic Surgery understands that affordability is a factor influencing women’s decision. As you consider the benefits of breast augmentation, you may be drawn to practices that offer an affordable cost. Breast augmentation can also be done using “medical tourism” in countries such as the Dominican Republic, Columbia, and other countries outside the United States. This practice should be approached with caution, and here are a few things to remember:

Experiencing breast augmentation abroad is equal to or more expensive than getting it done in a reputable American clinic.

The U.S. has some of the highest standards of medical care when it comes to cosmetic surgery and breast enhancement. There may be a difference in quality of care before, during, and after the procedure, however.

If you travel internationally, your plastic surgeon is not accessible in case you encounter any issues following your breast augmentation.

Plastic surgery clinics offering lower prices may make compromises to save money for themselves. The same procedure/technique may be performed on every woman regardless of anatomy, personal preferences, or other significant considerations.

Breast augmentations are most cost-effective when performed correctly the first time. This eliminates the need for revision surgeries, reduced self-esteem, and costly follow-up appointments to fix scarring, implant shifting, and other complications.

Keeping you safe and healthy is our top priority at Ridgewood Plastic Surgery. As well as providing natural-looking results.
