During your initial consultation for Breast Augmentation New Orleans plastic surgeon Dr. Mizgala will help you select a surgical plan based on your body frame, as well as the results you hope to achieve. Breast implants for augmentation come in an assortment of sizes and shapes.
Breast implant types are saline or silicone, both approved by the FDA (Food and Drug Administration). Saline breast implants have an outer solid silicone shell, which is filled with saline or salt water after it is placed in the breast. If a saline implant leaks, the body naturally absorbs the saline solution without harm. These implants offer a firmer feel, and because they are inserted empty and filled once in place, they require a smaller incision.
Silicone gel breast implants are prefilled with silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. The popular gummy bear implants are the newest form of improved silicone gel breast implants, cohesive safe silicone. Allergan refers to their different gummy bear implants as gummy, gummier or gummiest, each one having a different level of cohesiveness. The gummy-like gel sticks to itself as well as to the outer silicone shell to minimize any possibility of leakage. It also holds its shape better and minimizes the possibility of implant ripples.
When choosing between saline vs. silicone implants, it often comes down to personal preference and the desired outcome. During your consultation, we will discuss the benefits of each type to help you make an informed decision that aligns with your aesthetic goals and lifestyle.
There are many breast implants to choose from. Implant size is based on the number of CCs of silicone or saline. Dr. Mizgala will measure how much original tissue exists and the size you hope to achieve. You will have the opportunity to try on various sizes at your consultation to see what a C, D, or DD looks like on your body.

Breast implants come in either round or teardrop shapes. New Orleans Breast Augmentation provider, Dr. Mizgala prefers round implants and makes the pocket anatomical, like a teardrop. This allows the breast implants to move naturally in the pockets instead of relying on the implant staying in one position. Round implants also provide superior pole fullness and cleavage. Round breast implants can have a smooth or textured shell, whether saline filled or silicone filled.
The smooth surface implant is smooth, whereas the textured implant surface is rough. Shaped implants are all textured so they attach to the tissues and don't move because the shape of the implant is designed to sit in one direction. Textured breast implants were designed to minimize capsular contracture; however, capsular contracture is rare to nonexistent in Dr. Mizgala's practice. She prefers smooth shell implants as they feel more natural and have less palpable rippling.
The texture of breast implants is another crucial factor to consider. Smooth implants are designed to move freely within the breast pocket, which can result in a more natural movement and feel. They are generally softer and can provide a more natural look, especially when placed under the muscle. Smooth implants are less likely to cause rippling, making them a popular choice for many women seeking Breast Augmentation.
Textured implants, on the other hand, are designed to adhere to the surrounding tissue, which helps them stay in place. This can be particularly beneficial for anatomically shaped implants, such as teardrop or gummy bear implants, which need to maintain a specific orientation to look natural. The textured surface reduces the risk of implant rotation and can also lower the risk of certain complications, such as capsular contracture. However, the choice between smooth and textured implants will depend on your individual anatomy, aesthetic goals, and the recommendations of your surgeon. We will work closely with you to determine the best option for your unique needs.
Your plan may include a Breast Augmentation, breast lift or a breast lift with implants. A breast lift removes excess skin to tighten the "skin brassiere" around their breast and often move the nipple complex up and inward. Breast Augmentation addresses the size and shape of the breasts. During your consultation with Dr. Mizgala, she will listen to your needs and goals before explaining your treatment options. A combination of augmentation and lift are often a part of a mommy makeover to rejuvenate the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Your cost for Breast Augmentation will vary based on your choices and if you are having any other surgeries at the same time. As soon as your treatment plan is developed at your consultation, Dr. Mizgala can talk to you about exact cost and financing options. To ensure your results match your goals and last a long time, it's important to focus on quality over cost. Dr. Mizgala includes all costs in her package prices. This includes the surgery, surgery center, anesthesia, implants, bra, and all follow-up appointments.
The total cost for a straightforward Breast Augmentation with saline-filled implants totals $4,900. There is the option to upgrade the implant warranty for an additional $200. The enhanced warranty provides up to $2,400 of financial compensation and a new implant(s) for any revision surgery if there is a deflation of either breast implant within 10 years of your surgery date. The total cost for a straightforward silicone gummy bear Breast Augmentation is $6,300-$6,800 and includes the warranty. The silicone warranty provides up to $3,500 of financial compensation and a new implant(s) for any surgery required for a defect in the integrity of either silicone implant over 10 years from the surgery date
In most cases, breastfeeding is possible after implants with the correct surgical placement and technique. Breastfeeding and pregnancy may but don't always alter your results. Dr. Mizgala has many patients who have had children after Breast Augmentation and their breasts have remained beautiful. In some cases, breast revision surgery or implant exchange or a breast lift might be recommended once your family is complete.
A person may decide they want to have their breast implants replaced or removed. If this happens, Dr. Mizgala can perform breast revision surgery. During the revision surgery, your current implants can be replaced or removed. For those who choose to have their implants removed, the breasts usually spring back to their pre-surgery appearance.
Most women are pleasantly surprised to see that their breasts look much better than expected after breast implant removal. Some women benefit from a breast lift to tighten the skin brassiere of the breasts after implant removal, but most do not. If you have any concerns or questions after your Breast Augmentation surgery, schedule an appointment at A Woman Plastic Surgeon to discuss the options.
Several scientific studies show that breast implants do not increase the risk of breast cancer. Studies also show that women with breast implants who are affected by breast cancer are not diagnosed later than women without breast implants. The FDA is investigating any potential links between breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). However, this is not breast cancer; it is a cancer of the immune cells. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), implant-related ALCL is a rare situation and when it is caught early, it can be treated easily. Dr. Mizgala uses smooth shell breast implants almost exclusively since this rare condition was brought to light and there has been no report of ALCL in anyone who has had only smooth shell breast implants.
The choice to go through with Breast Augmentation surgery is personal. If you are thinking about having this procedure, it is important you do it for yourself and nobody else. A common misconception is that men encourage women to have breast enlargement surgery.
This is not common and it is, in fact, women who love to love their breasts as it enhances their femininity and confidence. You should be healthy with breasts that are fully developed and be the proper age to have breast implants. If you are dissatisfied with the overall appearance of your breasts or if your breasts have been affected by aging, nursing, or weight loss, Breast Augmentation can bring them back to life with increased volume. It is also a great option if you work out with weights and have little to no original breast tissue.
When it comes to breast augmentation, the surgical technique is tailored to your unique needs and preferences. During the procedure, Dr. Mizgala will make an incision, form a pocket, and then insert the appropriate breast implant into that pocket. The incisions that Dr. Mizgala recommends are either inframammary, in the fold under the breast, or areolar, at the border of the areola with the breast skin. Metairie Breast Augmentation provider Dr. Mizgala uses a Keller funnel to insert all silicone breast implants.
This allows her to keep the incision very small (3.5 centimeters). The pocket can then be made under the pectoralis muscle, submuscular placement, or above the muscle under the breast tissue, submammary/subglandular placement. Where to place the implant is based on numerous factors, including the overall type and size of the implant, along with the opinion of Dr. Mizgala. Most New Orleans Breast Augmentation surgery patients benefit from submuscular placement. This reduces the chance of capsular contracture over time and also camouflages the implant shell for a more natural appearance. No matter where the incision is placed, scarring is often hidden within the natural creases and lines of the breasts. Dr. Mizgala will provide scar creams and/or silicone tape to further minimize the appearance of the scars.
