Breast Implants Fredericksburg
- Gel Implants: $5,900
- Saline Implants: $4,500
Surgical Arts of Virginia offers Mentor’s saline and new cohesive gel implants for breast implantation. The procedure is performed in the office surgical suite with tumescent anesthesia and sedation. There are a number of options for breast implantation that Dr. Palmer offers and they are described below. The cost for saline implants is $4,500 and for cohesive gel implants it is $5,900.
Incisions Offered:
- Inframammary. The incision is placed below the breast in the inframammary fold. Both silicone and saline implants can be placed through this incision either subglandular or submuscular. This is the most common incision used. The drawback is a visible scar on the chest wall, although it can often be quite subtle.
- Periareolar. The incision is made at the border between the darker skin around the nipple and the lighter skin of the breast so that it is nearly imperceptible when healed. This is the second most common type of skin incision. Both silicone and saline implants can be placed through this incision either subglandular or submuscular.
- Transaxillary. The incision is placed in the armpit. Dr. Palmer only places saline implants using this approach and only below the muscle. The benefit is a scar away from the breast which often imperceptible. This approach is more difficult and therefore Dr. Palmer charges an additional $500 in addition to the normal fee for saline implants.
Breast implants can be placed in a variety of locations, with placement beneath the (pectoralis) muscle being most common. They look best when placed in a “dual plane”, being beneath the muscle on top and beneath the breast gland towards the bottom. They can also be placed beneath the breast gland only. There are benefits and drawbacks to each and Dr. Palmer can go over these and discuss what he thinks is best for your body type and the type of implant you select.
