5 Facts About Breast Implants in DC You Need To Know

Breast Implant DCWhile breast augmentation is one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, there are many things you may not know about the procedure. If you’re considering breast implants, here are a few things you should know.

DC breast implant facts:

  1. Not all implants are made equal– We offer 3 different types of implants, saline, silicone, and ideal. Each implant can give you a different look and feel so it’s important to consider your specific goals when choosing an implant.
  2. Breast implants can improve your breast shape– Many people assume that breast implants are simply to increase the size of your breasts, but what you may not know is that breast implants can be used to improve their overall shape and symmetry. Some patients come to us, not necessarily looking for a large increase in size, they simply want to give their breasts a rounder shape and improve the symmetry of their breasts.
  3. You should not be pregnant or nursing when you undergo the procedure– It is unsafe to perform a breast augmentation on a pregnant woman. Furthermore, even after pregnancy, a woman who is breastfeeding should not undergo the procedure. Following breastfeeding your breast size can change rapidly, making it hard to truly gauge the size implant needed.
  4. You can combine other procedures with breast implants to achieve your goals– Many of our patients come to us with more than one goal in mind. Whether you’re looking to add a breast lift, a tummy tuck, liposuction, or butt lift we can work with you to find the right combination of procedures to achieve your goals.
  5. You can still get mammograms with breast implants– A common question we’ve heard is “Can I get mammograms with breast implants?” The answer is yes. Breast implants can withstand the activity of a mammogram and we highly recommend receiving a yearly mammogram beyond the age of 40.
