You have two options when it comes to selecting the type of implant you would like to use for your augmentation: silicone or saline.

Most patients choose silicone breast implants, which are filled with silicone gel. The gel has the feel and movement similar to natural breast tissue. If a silicone breast implant develops a leak, the gel may escape into the area of tissue in which the implant was placed. A leaking implant filled with silicone gel will not collapse.

Saline breast implants can be chosen as well and are filled with sterile saltwater. The amount of saline in the implant can vary, affecting the feel, firmness and actual shape of the breast. Saline is harmless to the patient, and in the case of a leak, the saline will be absorbed naturally by the body.

Dr. Vijay has a state-of-the-art operating suite in his office that is fully accredited by the AAAASF, which is a national agency that certifies only those facilities that meet their high standards.

For patients who are not able to pay for cosmetic procedures up front, there are patient financing options available. Financing offers patients the option to cut down the initial breast augmentation cost by allowing you to make payments that fit your budget. Some surgeons may offer financing options through an outside source associated with their practice, or you may be encouraged to find your own financing through a different provider.

What is the difference between silicone and saline implants?

Silicone implants offer the most natural look and feel. Saline implants are a more budget-friendly option with a slightly firmer feel. We'll help you choose the right fit for your goals.

Will I be able to go home right after the surgery?

Yes, you will go home after our nurse has determined that you have recovered well from anesthesia. This may take up to one hour after the end of surgery. Sometimes if a patient is from out of town, then a local hotel would be a better option than going home.

How long will my implants last?

Dr. Vijay's revision rate is under 5% at 10 years—compared to the national average of 20%. That means fewer complications and longer-lasting results. To keep it that way, he sees every patient annually to monitor implants and catch any potential issues early—often before surgery becomes necessary. If a concern does arise, such as rupture or capsular contracture, breast revision surgery is available to correct it.

How should I prepare for my breast augmentation?

Before undergoing your breast augmentation, you should complete a medical test and evaluation to ensure you are healthy enough to have surgery. You should avoid aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs, as these can increase bleeding. You should also stop smoking and drinking alcohol and dietary supplements two weeks before surgery to reduce your chance of complications.
