Breast Augmentation Surgery in Scottsdale, AZ

As with any surgery, there is an infrequent risk of infection and bleeding complications. There are also risks associated with the use of implants that may require surgery in the future. Such risks include capsular contracture (tightening of scar tissue around the implant), implant rupture/deflation, and bottoming out (the implant stretching the pocket and dropping below the breast tissue). However, properly following your aftercare instructions and contacting your surgeon at the first sign of any possible problem can help lower your chances of developing a complication.

Barring any complications that would necessitate the replacement of your implants, breast augmentation surgery provides long-lasting results. Dr. Spies will discuss the expectations you should have of your surgery results.

The cost of breast augmentation is determined by various factors, including the size, material, and type of breast implant you choose, whether you have combined your breast augmentation with any other procedures, and additional fees associated with your process. After you consult with Dr. Spies, he will create a custom surgical plan for you and then give you an accurate cost estimate for your breast augmentation.

While some of your preferences are important, you don’t have to make every decision about your breast augmentation on your own. Dr. Spies will walk you through the different implant types and placements before making suggestions and helping you choose what will look and feel best.

It’s a big decision to undergo any cosmetic surgery, including breast augmentation. If you are unsure if breast augmentation surgery is for you, it can be helpful to know that you have options.

Additionally, Dr. Spies can help advise you on the ideal breast implants that complement your natural frame and help you reach your aesthetic goals. Many of our breast augmentation patients are ecstatic with their results, but breast augmentation surgery has more benefits than just aesthetics. Most patients reflect on the benefits of their boosted confidence after surgery. We’ve compiled a list of the benefits of breast augmentation surgery for those curious about what it can do for them.

You will notice a difference in your breasts immediately following surgery, even if you are wearing a compression garment. Your breasts may be noticeably larger–perhaps more than you expected due to swelling. As you begin to heal and the swelling goes down, you will be able to get a better idea of what your breasts look like. The healing process for breast augmentation surgery generally takes about six weeks as swelling and bruising dissipate, and the breast implants start to settle in the body.

While you might be feeling like yourself again, the breast implants still have a ways to go before you can see your final, fully healed result. Your breast implants have to go through a process commonly called “fluff and drop,” as they are more constricted by the muscles in your body, causing them to be slightly raised and firmer to the touch. As the body relaxes around the implants, they will soften and drop to a more natural position on the chest. Once this happens, you will see your final results. The process can take months, so your results will continue to improve even after your initial healing process.
