Top 3 Reasons for Breast Augmentation Surgery How Breast Implants Can Address Your Needs
Enhanced Appearance
Dr. Ashish K. Jain and Dr. Spencer R. Anderson can tailor this procedure to give you results that complement your entire figure so you can experience a stunning new appearance.
Improved Confidence
Having the breast size you've always wanted can help you feel more confident when you look in the mirror, which can positively impact virtually every aspect of your life.
Customizable Results
Breast augmentation is an extremely versatile procedure. Breast implants are available in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and can result in a bust ranging from subtle to voluptuous. It's completely up to you!
Breast Implant Options Saline Implants vs. Silicone Gel Implants
Breast implants may be filled with either saline solution (sterile saltwater) or silicone gel. Both types of implants are approved for safe use by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The best choice of implant is based on your body type, your desired increase in size, and other factors.
The Benefits of Silicone-Filled Implants
Silicone gel implants tend to have a more natural look and feel. They consist of silicone outer shells filled with silicone gel. Silicone gel mimics the texture of human fat, and rests on the body in a similar way to natural breast tissue. With our advanced cohesive gel implants, often called gummy bear implants, you don't have to worry about leakage, and they don't carry the risk of collapsing like saline implants.
The Benefits of Saline-Filled Implants
Saline implants are an option for patients who want a rounder, firmer appearance to their breast enhancement. Saline implants are made up of a silicone outer shell and are filled with a saltwater solution. Unlike silicone implants that come in pre-made breast sizes, the plastic surgeon can fill saline implants after the shell is implanted, resulting in minimal scarring. You also have a bit of flexibility with the final size of your implant since it can be reduced or filled slightly after implantation.

We Can Give You a Preview of Your Breast Augmentation Results Visualize the Surgical Outcome Before the Breast Augmentation Procedure
VECTRA® 3D Aesthetic Simulation Technology allows women to visualize their post-surgery breasts before ever walking into an operating room. The realistic images VECTRA can create allow the patient and the physician to define the ideal size and shape of the breasts in precise detail.
Columbus Plastic Surgery, P.C. is the only practice in Columbus, GA, that uses this state-of-the-art technology.
The VECTRA Preview Process
The VECTRA experience begins with a 3D photo session, during which we capture images of your pre-surgery breasts. Then, using special simulation software on your 3D picture, Dr. Jain or Dr. Anderson will be able to show you the potential results of your breast augmentation surgery.
You will be able to preview different looks until you find the one you like best. Your chosen simulation will then become the basis for your surgical plan.
Another Way to Preview Your Results
If you prefer a more private method to visualize potential augmentation results, we recommend trying the rice test. The rice test illustrates how to use pantyhose and rice at specific measurements to visualize how your breasts might look at different sizes.

A Breast Augmentation Patient Shares Her Story Helping the People of West Georgia Look and Feel Their Best
"I had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Jain few months ago and I absolutely love the results. I had been waiting so long and was very nervous about finally getting it done. However, looking back on it now, I am so happy I did. Dr. Jain and all his staff were very professional and welcoming and made the process so comfortable for me. When I did have a concern about how one of my incisions was healing they immediately made time for me to come in and be seen." Erin Ackerly
How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost?
At our plastic surgery practice in Columbus, GA, breast augmentation typically costs between $4,000 and $6,000.
Your final cost will depend on factors like the type of implants you receive, which surgical technique we use, and whether you receive a breast lift along with your augmentation.
Insurance and Financing Information
Because breast augmentation is an elective procedure, it isn't covered by insurance. If you're worried about cost coming between you and your cosmetic goals, financing through CareCredit, Prosper Healthcare, or United Medical Credit can help your procedure comfortably fit your budget.
We'll be happy to help you navigate your application and any other questions that you may have throughout the process.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation Surgery? Important Requirements for Those Considering Breast Implants
Fully Developed Breasts
Adult women of any age can undergo breast augmentation. It is recommended, however, that a woman’s breasts are fully developed prior to placement of breast implants.
Realistic Expectations
Women who understand the recovery process and limitations of the procedure are usually very pleased with their results. In fact, many patients experience a boost in self-confidence following surgery.
Committed to Lifetime Care
Patients should be aware that as you age and your body changes, future surgery may be required to replace one or both implants. Ruptures can also occur due to a number of factors. You should let medical professionals know you have implants before receiving a mammogram.
Good Health
As with liposuction, a mommy makeover, or any other plastic surgery treatment, you will need to be in good overall health to minimize the risk of complications during your surgery and recovery.

View on GoogleThe Breast Augmentation Timeline What Patients Can Expect During the Surgical Process
No matter if you get saline or silicone implants, we will work diligently to conceal incision sites and minimize visible scarring.
Incision Locations and Implant Placement Techniques
At Columbus Plastic Surgery, our surgeons primarily use an inframammary fold placement. This is when the breast implant is placed through an incision along the natural crease underneath the breast where it meets the chest wall.
We also sometimes perform areolar incisions, in which the implant is inserted through the lower border of the areola.
How We Reduce Risks and the Appearance of Surgical Scars
When placing silicone implants, Dr. Jain and Dr. Anderson use a no-touch technique with the Keller Funnel®. This surgical technique uses a specially designed sterile funnel. Plastic surgeons can squeeze the silicone gel implant through the funnel and into the breast pocket with ease.
The Keller Funnel minimizes physical contact with the implant, which reduces the risk of infeciton. This technique also allows for smaller incisions and faster insertion and positioning.
Combined Breast Lift and Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation is solely designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of your breasts. If you have issues with sagging breast tissue, you may want to consider a breast lift to elevate the projection of your bust line.
Many patients choose to combine breast implants with a breast lift to achieve a total breast enhancement. This combination is frequently part of the popular mommy makeover procedure.
Other Ways to Enhance Your Results
If you are self-conscious about other cosmetic imperfections, we can perform an array of procedures to enhance the body.
Patients often combine breast augmentation with additional cosmetic surgery such as liposuction or a tummy tuck for even more comprehensive results. Our Columbus, GA, practice can take care of all of your cosmetic enhancements in a comfortable, convenient setting.

Healing from Breast Augmentation Surgery Guidelines for Recovery After the Breast Augmentation Procedure
Dr. Jain and Dr. Anderson will provide you with specific post-operative instructions to ensure you successfully recover from your breast augmentation. The operation carries a relatively quick recovery period, and the majority of the side effects subside within a week or two. Nevertheless, it can take up to two months for your body to completely heal from your breast augmentation. Guidelines for recovery generally include:
Wear a Compression Garment
Our surgeons will provide you with a compression garment to wear around the bust while you heal from surgery. This snug, sports bra-like bandage encompasses the entire chest and helps reduce swelling and promote good circulation. Expect to wear the garment for about six weeks after breast augmentation to support your chest as you recover.
Manage Pain and Side Effects
Most patients experience some degree of swelling and pain in the first week following a breast augmentation. The doctor will provide you with medication to help mitigate your discomfort in the days immediately following the operation. After a week, over-the-counter medications are typically enough to help patients with swelling and soreness.
Limit Your Physical Activities
While breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, you should get plenty of rest and limit your movements while you recover at home. Stay in bed for the first day or two following surgery and refrain from anything but walking and light exercise for a month. Most patients can return to work within a week following breast augmentation. Take special care not to overexert yourself or lift heavy objects.
We Always Bring Out the Best in Patients Our Team Is Proud to Serve the People of West Georgia
Consultation for a procedure, Dr Jain was honest on my results and gave me recommendations to reach my goals that I would be much happier with. I appreciate a physician that chose to be honest and direct me rather than make money and ultimately was not the best option for me right now. Much respect earned. I will be back

View on GoogleBreast Augmentation FAQ
What are some implant-associated complications I should be aware of?
Capsular contracture is one of the main complications associated with implants. This occurs when scar tissue that naturally forms around an implant begins to harden and compresses the implant. Capsular contracture can be extremely painful and even change the appearance of the breasts, which is why it needs immediate attention from your plastic surgeon.
How do I know if my breast implant has ruptured?
If a saline implant has ruptured, your breast will change in size as the implant deflates. Detecting a ruptured silicone implant is more difficult, but common warning signs include change in breast shape, lumps forming in the breast, and soreness of the surrounding breast tissue.
Do implants affect breastfeeding?
With inframammary breast augmentation, patients should be able to breastfeed normally since the incisions are located on the underside of the breast rather than the nipple. Patients who have their implants placed with a periareolar incision could have issues with nursing if the milk ducts were damaged during surgery.
