Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose between breast augmentation and a breast lift?
Breast augmentation increases size and fullness using implants, ideal if you're happy with breast position but want more volume. A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions sagging breasts without adding significant size. If you have both sagging and volume loss, a combined augmentation-lift procedure may be recommended. During your consultation, Dr. RIDHA will assess your anatomy and discuss which approach best achieves your goals.
What type of breast implants do you offer?
Dr. RIDHA offers both saline and silicone gel implants from leading manufacturers. Silicone implants provide a more natural feel and are the most popular choice. We offer various shapes (round or anatomical), profiles (low, moderate, high), and textures (smooth or textured). During consultation, you'll have the opportunity to see and feel different implant options to make an informed decision.
Will I have visible scars after breast surgery?
All breast procedures involve incisions, but Dr. RIDHA uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Incision placement varies by procedure: augmentation incisions are typically in the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit; lift incisions follow natural breast contours. Scars fade significantly over 12-18 months and are usually well-concealed by bras and swimwear. Scar treatment options will be discussed during recovery.
How long do breast implants last?
Modern breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Most patients enjoy their implants for 10-20 years before considering replacement. Regular monitoring through physical exams and occasional imaging helps ensure implant integrity. Some patients choose to exchange implants for size changes or preference, while others maintain their original implants for many decades.
Can I breastfeed after breast surgery?
Many women successfully breastfeed after breast augmentation or lift, though it's not guaranteed. Incision placement and surgical technique affect breastfeeding ability—periareolar incisions carry slightly higher risk than inframammary (breast crease) incisions. Breast reduction more significantly impacts breastfeeding due to tissue removal. Discuss your future pregnancy and breastfeeding plans during consultation so Dr. RIDHA can optimize your surgical approach.
What is the recovery process like for breast procedures?
Recovery varies by procedure complexity. Most patients return to light activities within 1 week and resume normal routines within 2-4 weeks. You'll wear a surgical bra for support during initial healing. Discomfort is managed with medication. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4-6 weeks. Swelling subsides gradually over several months, with final results visible around 6-12 months post-surgery.
Does insurance cover breast surgery?
Breast reduction may be covered by insurance if medically necessary to relieve physical symptoms like chronic back/neck pain. Breast reconstruction after mastectomy is typically covered under the Women's Health and Cancer Rights Act. Cosmetic procedures like augmentation and lifts are not covered by insurance. Our team can help verify coverage and provide documentation for insurance submissions when applicable.
How much does breast surgery cost?
Costs vary based on procedure complexity, surgical time, anesthesia requirements, and individual patient needs. Each procedure is uniquely tailored to your goals and anatomy. During your consultation, we provide a detailed cost breakdown including surgeon fees, facility fees, and anesthesia. Financing options are available to make procedures more accessible.
