Below are answers to some of the most commonly asked questions we receive about breast augmentation procedures. If you have additional questions, please feel free to call our practice at 518-793-0475.
Women choose breast augmentation for a number of reasons. The most popular reasons women choose breast augmentation is to increase breast size, to achieve a symmetrical body silhouette and to add volume and firmness after weight loss, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Healthy women over the age of 18 years old may be good candidates, we recommend a consultation with Dr. Garcia to discuss your goals and to review of your medical history to ensure surgery is right for you.
Our practice now accepts the CareCredit health and beauty credit card. CareCredit provides Special Financing Options that can make it easier to fit a cosmetic procedure into your budget. More information can be provided to you at your consultation.
Prices for breast augmentation vary. After your consultation with Dr. Garcia, a complete quote will be provided to you. This quote will not only include the cost of the implants and Dr. Garcia’s fee, but we will also provide you with the hospital and anesthesiologist’s fees.
The most commonly reported side effects include capsular contracture, the development of a hematoma or seroma, changes in nipple and breast sensation, difficulties in breast feeding and delayed wound healing. More information can be provided during your consultation.
Depending on the type of work you do, some patients can return to work within a few days. Dr. Garcia recommends minimizing heavy lifting, running and jumping during the first 6 weeks after surgery.
The majority of patients have swelling and bruising immediately after surgery and for several weeks. Dr. Garcia recommends a front closure sports bra worn continuously in the first few weeks to reduce swelling and discomfort. With the advances in surgical techniques, shorter recovery times are now more commonplace.
Both implants have a silicone shell. The Natrelle® Round Gel implant is filled with a cohesive gel and is designed to create a soft, round look with a fuller upper-pole contour.

The Saline implant is FDA approved for women over the age of 18 years old.
Dr. Garcia uses the Natrelle® Collection which offer a selection of both Silicone Gel and Saline Implants in a variety of breast width, projection, and volume options. This collection allows for a truly personalized breast augmentation that fits you and your goals.
