cost & Financing
The cost of breast augmentation in Houston ranges from $8,500 (IMF) – $10,800 (transaxillary), and varies depending on factors such as the type of implants, anesthesia, and operating room fees (OR). The final cost of the surgery will also depend on:
- The incision technique used
- The duration of the procedure
- The surgeon’s fee (varies from doctor to doctor)
During your consultation, our team will provide you with a detailed cost breakdown, so you have a clear understanding of the expenses involved. We accept personal checks, credit cards, and cryptocurrencies as forms of payment. And to make the procedure more accessible, we offer flexible financing options through reputable third-party providers such as Prosper Healthcare Lending, CareCredit, and Alphaeon Credit. These financing plans allow you to break down the cost of your procedure into manageable monthly payments. It should be noted, however, that unless the surgery is medically necessary, breast augmentation is an elective surgery and therefore not covered by insurance.
At Memorial Plastic Surgery, we understand that cost is a significant consideration for many patients. We strive to make breast augmentation affordable by offering competitive pricing and financing options to help you achieve your aesthetic goals. Our team will guide you through the financing process and help you find a plan that best suits your budget.
BREAST AUGMENTATION OPTIONS AT MEMORIAL PLASTIC SURGERY IN HOUSTON
We can place breast implants through various incisions and in different locations within the breast tissue. The specific incision and placement technique used will depend on the patient’s individual anatomy, the size and shape of the implant, and the desired outcome of the surgery.
We offer several options for breast augmentation to suit our patients’ preferences and desired outcomes.
These include:
- Silicone Implants: Silicone breast implants are known for their natural feel and appearance. They come in various sizes and shapes, allowing for a customized fit that meets your aesthetic goals.
- Saline Implants: Saline breast implants consist of a silicone shell filled with sterile saline solution. They can be adjusted more easily than silicone implants and have a slightly firmer feel.
- Fat Transfer: Fat transfer breast augmentation involves removing fat from one area of your body (usually the abdomen, thighs, or buttocks) and injecting it into your breasts. This method offers a more natural alternative to implants and can provide subtle, natural-looking results.
For placement, implants can be placed in one of two locations within the breast tissue, depending on the patient’s unique situation:
- Submuscular placement: The implant is placed under the pectoral muscle, providing additional support and coverage for the implant. This is used mostly on women with thin breast tissue or those who desire a more natural-looking result.
- Subglandular placement: The breast implant is placed between the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle and is typically used on women with adequate breast tissue looking for a more prominent look.
Recovery & Results
After breast augmentation surgery, our doctors provide a set of post-operative care instructions for wounds to minimize swelling and prevent infection. We will also schedule a series of follow-up appointments to monitor the progress of recovery.
Our patients often ask how long the pain lasts after breast augmentation. Generally, patients are able to resume work and normal activities in as fast as 3 – 5 days after the surgery.
Final results should be seen over the course of 3 months, which is the time that the breasts should settle into their final positions.
Below is a table with the estimated timetable of recovery after surgery:
| POST-OP OBSTACLES | ESTIMATED TIME |
| Physical discomfort (bruising & swelling) | 2 – 4 weeks |
| Surgical bra use | 4 – 6 weeks |
| Loss of nipple sensation | 6 – 12 months |
| DAILY ACTIVITIES | ESTIMATED TIME |
| Full body showers | 2 days |
| Work | 1 week |

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
During the consultation, our patients come with a number of frequently asked questions about breast augmentation surgery. Our team has compiled a list of answers below.
How long does the breast augmentation procedure take?
The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours. The exact duration depends on the specific surgical technique and type of implants being used.
What is the recovery time for breast augmentation?
Recovery time varies depending on the individual and the surgical technique used. Most patients can return to work and light activities within 1-2 weeks following the surgery, while full recovery can take 4-6 weeks. Your surgeon will provide you with specific recovery guidelines tailored to your individual needs.
Will there be visible scarring after breast augmentation?
Scarring is an inevitable part of any surgical procedure. However, our skilled surgeons at Memorial Plastic Surgery take great care to minimize scarring by placing incisions in discrete locations, such as under the breast fold or around the areola. Over time, scars will fade and become less noticeable.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, but they can last for many years. The lifespan of breast implants varies depending on factors such as the type of implant and individual patient factors. On average, breast implants can last 10-20 years before needing replacement or removal. Your surgeon will discuss the longevity of your chosen implants during your consultation.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Many women can successfully breastfeed after breast augmentation, but this depends on factors such as the surgical technique used and the individual patient’s anatomy. It’s essential to discuss your plans for breastfeeding with your surgeon during your consultation, so they can take this into consideration when planning your procedure.
What sleeping position should I sleep in after breast augmentation?
We recommend our patients to avoid sleeping on their stomachs during the first month of recovery and to have several pillows positioned around them to prevent their bodies from turning over. Propping a pillow or two against their back achieves a reclined position that reduces complications during the healing process.
What bras should I wear after breast augmentation?
After the procedure, it’s common to experience swollen and tender breasts. That’s why we require our patients to wear a medical compression bra without an underwire, which we will provide them after surgery. This compression bra holds the wound dressings in place, restricts the movement of the implant, and helps speed up the overall healing process.
