What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure aimed at giving the breasts a rounder, fuller look. It can also help create a more balanced appearance for patients with uneven breasts. Renowned as one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the world, breast augmentation can be a powerful choice for women who lack confidence due to the size and shape of their breasts. We offer both saline and silicone breast implants at Northwestern Specialists in Plastic Surgery, allowing our patients to choose the option that's right for their needs. During your consultation at our Chicago, IL plastic surgery office, our experienced team will talk with you about your aesthetic goals and help you understand more about how the procedure works and which approach is recommended for you. Reach out to our practice today to start building a personalized plastic surgery plan.
How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Before scheduling your breast augmentation surgery, we'll go over your options for implant material and help you choose between them. We'll also talk about the surgical process, including where we'll make the incisions and what kind of scarring you might expect. During your procedure, we'll make incisions under or near the breasts before inserting the selected implants. Afterward, we'll sew the incisions before wrapping your chest. Depending on your goals, we can also combine your breast augmentation with a breast lift to complement your enhanced curves by giving them a perkier, more youthful appearance.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?

- Increases cup size and fullness

- Increases confidence and self-image

Breast Augmentation Reviews
I had a breast augmentation with Clark and Monika, his PA, a month ago and I am pleased to say I could not be more thrilled with my results. From the initial consultation to post surgery I felt calm and confident with these two as my providers. The whole experience was above and beyond! I am very grateful I found Clark and Monika. Thank you to the whole team at NSPS and at the surgery center!

Am I A Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Deciding to undergo breast augmentation is a personal choice. If you are considering this procedure, it's important to do it for the right reasons. Candidates should be in good overall health, have fully developed breasts, and meet the appropriate age requirements for implants. Breast augmentation may be a good option if you feel dissatisfied with the appearance of your chest due to loss of volume. Additionally, if aging, breastfeeding, or weight loss has affected your breast shape, this procedure can restore fullness and improve contours. It can also be beneficial for those who have naturally small breasts or have lost breast mass due to weight training.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does breast augmentation cost?
The total cost of breast augmentation varies based on implant choices and whether additional procedures are included. Once we create your personalized treatment plan, we will review estimated costs and financing options. To achieve long-lasting results that align with your goals, it's important to prioritize quality over cost.
Do I need a breast lift or augmentation?
Your treatment plan may involve implants, a breast lift, or a combination of both. A breast lift removes excess skin and elevates the breasts, while augmentation enhances their size and shape. During your consultation, we will listen to your concerns and goals before explaining the best treatment options. Many patients choose a combined augmentation and lift as part of a mommy makeover to restore their breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Can I breastfeed with implants?
If you plan to breastfeed after breast augmentation, let us know during your consultation. In most cases, breastfeeding is still possible with the right surgical technique and implant placement. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect your results, so you may want to wait until your family is complete before undergoing breast augmentation.
Can I have my implants removed?
If you decide to remove or replace your implants in the future, we can perform breast revision surgery. This procedure allows for implant replacement with a different size or material, or complete removal. If implants are removed, a breast lift may be recommended to address stretched skin. If you have any concerns after augmentation surgery, we are here to discuss your options and help you achieve the best outcome.
Do implants cause breast cancer?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is researching a possible link between breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a rare cancer of the immune cells—not breast cancer. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), implant-associated ALCL is very rare and highly treatable when detected early. We encourage all patients with implants to undergo regular breast screenings. If you notice any unusual changes, such as swelling or visible differences, contact our team for an evaluation.
