Consultations for Breast Augmentations 

During an initial consultation, many patients are eager to hear the answer to “how much is a good breast augmentation?” or “how can you make my breasts look like this?” At the Baltimore Plastic and Cosmetic Surgery Center, clients can expect to get a listening ear from Dr. Schreiber. As patients describe what they are looking for, Dr. Schreiber takes measurements and educates them about the different types of breast implants. Women are also able to try on different sizers to give them an idea about how much volume they need in order to achieve their desired look. This gives patients a 4-D glimpse into what their body will look like post-op.

During the pre-op appointment, which is the second appointment, clients are encouraged to bring pictures of breast augmentations in a bathing suit that they like. This gives Dr. Schreiber another idea of the goal that patients are trying to achieve. Dr. Schreiber says that after each operation he has performed, women say it is close to what they thought they would want and that his clients remain happy with the implants for many years.

Cost of a Breast Augmentation

How much is a good breast augmentation? The general cost in Baltimore ranges from $4,800 to $9,000 depending on the client and the type of implant chosen. Many factors make up the price of a breast augmentation including location, type of implant, difficulty of surgery, and experience of the surgeon. Different brands as well as the difference between silicone gel and saline-filled implants can change the cost of an augmentation. Silicone gel implants tend to be more expensive than unstructured saline implants. The newest implant, the IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured Breast Implant, is filled only with saline but has a unique structure that controls its flow, resulting in a saline-filled implant that feels like silicone gel.

Given that the FDA recommends women with silicone gel implants get an expensive MRI or ultrasound every two-to-three years (often when a silicone gel implant ruptures, the cohesive nature of the gel makes the rupture undetectable otherwise; this is known as “silent rupture”), in the long run, the IDEAL IMPLANT will actually save you money.

Capsular Contracture Rate of Ideal Implant Structured Breast Implant

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons says that capsular contracture is an automatic immune response of the body in which the body creates a barrier of scar tissue around the breast implant. This is usually a good thing because the scar tissue helps to keep the implant in place. However, in some cases, the scar tissue becomes unusually hard and starts to contract around the implant causing aesthetic problems and even pain. Knowing how much a good breast augmentation costs, patients get very disappointed if they experience a severe capsular contracture.

The IDEAL IMPLANT data shows that over an eight-year period, this type of breast implant has a lower rate of capsular contracture and rupture in primary augmentation when compared to its competing brands. This is providing women with peace of mind and it is carrying over into surgeon’s offices as more women become educated about Ideal and are asking for it over other types of implants.

Satisfaction Rate of IDEAL Implants

According to Dr. Schreiber, he has a 99% customer satisfaction rate when it comes to his IDEAL IMPLANT patients. He says he has not had a re-operation on any of the IDEAL IMPLANTS and that his clients walk away really loving their results. “It is a well-made implant. I feel safe using it. The packaging feels very safe and I think it is a great product,” said Dr. Schreiber.

While many women prefer the feel and look of silicone over saline implants, those who have had silicone implants and switch to IDEAL IMPLANT report that they cannot feel a difference in the look or feel. If you are wondering how much is a good breast augmentation, ask your plastic surgeon about IDEAL IMPLANT Structured Breast Implants. IDEAL IMPLANTS are the newer generation of safe implants with a high rate of customer satisfaction.

Why Patients Can Trust Dr. Schreiber
