Ideal candidates are individuals in good health who want to enhance breast size, restore lost volume, or improve symmetry. A consultation will help determine if the procedure aligns with your goals.

Saline: Refers to a silicone shell that is filled with saline once inserted. It tends to appear less natural, which some patients prefer.

Silicone: Refers to a silicone shell that is pre-filled with a cohesive gel (often referred to as Gummy Bear) for a more natural look and feel. The silicone rupture rate is half that of saline implants.

Both options are FDA-approved, and we’ll help you determine the best choice for your needs.

The most common and safest incision is placed beneath the breast crease. This location allows for better healing, less scarring, and a more natural appearance. Also, long term there is less internal scarring (contracture).

Most patients can return to light activities within the first week but many of Dr. Freedland's patients have complete resumption of activity in a couple of days. Of course swelling and discomfort are common in the first week or two. We provide detailed aftercare instructions for a smooth recovery.

Breast implants are designed to last for many years, often decades, and they are not “expiration” devices that require replacement every 10 years. While there is a common misconception that implants must be replaced within a decade, this is not true unless a complication arises or a patient chooses to make a change for personal or cosmetic reasons.

At our practice, we believe in being transparent. Some surgeons perpetuate this myth, encouraging unnecessary procedures for financial gain. Dr. Freedland does not exploit this approach. Instead, we empower our patients with accurate information and guidance tailored to their needs.

It’s also worth noting that implants often come with a lifetime warranty on the implant itself and a 10-year warranty covering replacement costs, much like a parts-and-labor guarantee. This ensures your peace of mind without feeling obligated to undergo unnecessary replacements.

If you have questions or concerns about your implants, we’re here to provide honest advice and support, not pressure.

While you’ll notice an immediate difference, full results take shape over the next few months as swelling subsides and the implants settle into place. The final results are typically seen after 9 months.

Yes, when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon, breast augmentation is a safe and well-studied procedure. Choosing a qualified surgeon ensures you receive expert care and the highest safety standards.

Dr. Freedland has performed over 4,000 breast augmentations assuring that you get the best results and the safest care. 

Yes, most patients can still breastfeed after breast augmentation, but it depends on the implant placement and incision type. If future breastfeeding is a concern, we will discuss the best approach for preserving milk ducts and function.

Yes! With today’s advanced implant technology and precise placement techniques, results look and feel natural. Silicone implants, in particular, closely mimic the texture of natural breast tissue.

The cost varies based on the type of implant and other factors. During your consultation, we provide a personalized cost estimate and discuss financing options if needed.
