Breast Augmentation FAQ

Serving Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

What types of implants are available?

We offer a variety of saline and silicone implants in your choice of sizes, shapes, and materials. See our Breast Augmentation page for more information, or call or email our offices today to discuss your options personally.

Many of our patients find that it is helpful to see some examples of breast augmentation using the various types of implants as well.

What are my options for breast enhancement?

Not only do you have choices with the type of implant used for your breast augmentation, but you also have a choice of implant placement options and incision types.

These options are described in some detail on our main Breast Augmentation page, or if you'd prefer, you can call or email us today and we'll describe your options in person.

Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breast feed?

In some cases, yes. However, there are certain precautions we can take during a breast augmentation that may help minimize those risks.

If you are interested in a breast augmentation, but are concerned about your ability to breastfeed in the future, make sure to let us know. We can help you better understand your options and the risks involved.

Will my implants interfere with mammography?

Breast implants can interfere with mammographies, although mammography technicians have developed techniques to minimize the interference, and the risks can be mitigated by choosing a submuscular implant placement.

Other questions?

If you have any questions we haven't answered here, or if you'd like to schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Barber, call or email us today. We're here to help!
