breast augmentation we do hundreds of
them a year it's a popular operation a
lot of our staff and a lot of our
families have had breast augmentation so
what happens is you come in and you want
a better shape and a bigger breasts
mostly what breast augmentation does is
it gives you a bigger version of the
shape that you have so if your shape
needs to change significantly you
probably will need some type of mastopexy or
breast lift but when you
come in what we do is we talk to you
examine you listen to what you want and
see if we can make it work and give you
what you want we measure your breasts to
make sure that the implant that you
choose will fit into the pocket if for
instance if you choose an implant is too
wide and then it could be in your armpit
or to make a uniboob cork and wrinkles
and it can make the implant fails so we
have to make it we have to make it fit
we warranty our breast implants and the
operation and the results for three
years afterwards what that means is that
for a capsular contracture or a
malposition of an implant or things like
that if we have to re operate on our
patients we charge them zero in other
words we control the cost of our
operating room and everything and so
when patients come back in they rarely
will need any revisional surgery but if
they do it doesn't cost them anything
the only thing that we don't warranty is
that if you have an excellent result
than you would they would like to change
the size of their implants then what
they get charged is the wholesale cost
of the implants and the OR and anesthesia
and no surgeons fee with silicone
implants right now our feed charge is
sixty nine hundred dollars that's for a
silicone implant for a saline implant
it's less expensive that's fifty nine
hundred dollars because the saline
implants or essentially a thousand
dollars cheaper the implants cost
somewhere I believe between nineteen
hundred and two thousand dollars of that
cost for silicone breast augmentation
other things that go into it are the cost
of the operating room and the anesthesia
is all the products and the sutures that
we use and and that adds to the cost of
it too it generally takes about an
hour's worth of anesthesia this the
anesthesia charge generally for our
operating room is about eight hundred
dollars an hour for the OR and
anesthesia charges other things that go
into the cost of procedures in general
or well how good or experienced are our
nurses you know nurses right out of
school or a way that's expensive than
experienced nurses but we want
experienced staff we want to experience
anethetist for instance our anesthetist
all have between 12 and 15 years of
experience I can get a less expensive
anethetist you know right out of
school but I don't want one and so when
you come here I'm going to give you the
very best of everything that i can give
you them but i have people every day
that come in and they're looking for the
least expensive plastic surgery well
number one make certain that your
plastic surgeon is a real plastic
surgeon and it is board certified by the
American Board of plastic surgery there
is no other such thing as boarded by any
other board except the American Board of
plastic surgeon who's a real plastic
surgeon you can always find someone to
do it less extensive it's also a safety
issue you know I mean if we are AAAHC
certified that costs money and we
have our own operating rooms that costs
money we have our own Department of
anesthesia you know we don't go to the
hospital to do our operations and the
reason we don't is because the hospital
has to do everything for everybody we
just do this all we do is cosmetic
surgery every day all day long and so
you get really good at what
you do just like the hospital has to do
all the different operations for the
different surgeons not here we just do
it here and we're good at it go ahead
