Breast Augmentation FAQs

The first question patients ask when considering breast augmentation is “what size implant is right for me?” The best way to find out is to schedule a consultation and try on different sizes with a specialized sizer bra, but for a rough idea before you can make it in person, Dr. Pfeifer recommends looking at before and after photos of patients with frames similar to yours.

Patients from all over the country visit Dr. Pfeifer for breast augmentation. She and her team are experienced with streamlining the journey for out-of-town patients, from communicating with their local doctors for various pre-op tests to assisting with hotel accommodations.

A primary breast augmentation typically takes about two hours, but can take longer if there’s any asymmetry. Dr. Pfeifer can make the implant pocket and place temporary sizers if it’s more difficult to find the perfect implants.
