Krystal,
Thanks for your honest concerns – these are all very legitimate. It is important that you select a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, Inc. to perform your procedure. The consultation process should give you the opportunity to meet your surgeon, and discuss the options available to you. The benefits, risks, complications, and anticipated outcome should be discussed during your consultation so you can make an informed decision. You may wish to visit more than one surgeon so you have different points of view, and can then select the options that integrate well with your goals. Your surgeon should understand your concerns and have your interests in mind; he or she should be someone you trust. With this type of consultation process, and a good relationship with your surgeon, I know you will feel more comfortable about having breast enhancement surgery.
With respect to pricing, you will find differences between all surgeons. Make sure you understand what is included in the fees you are quoted and ultimately pay. There are financing options available to you if you choose to use them. Our patients have not had any problems using CareCredit. But breast augmentation surgery should not break your bank, and you should approach this decision responsibly like you would other financial decisions you make.
Breast augmentation surgery has a high satisfaction rate, and patients are very pleased with their results. Many express a renewed self confidence and feel more feminine.
I would refer you to the following links to view patient comments.
And you can read about some other patient’s experiences with breast augmentation (see the Patient Story links on the left side of the page)
Best wishes. KDD
