Because bra sizing varies between manufacturers, it isn't possible to accurately predict your final cup size. Instead, implant selection focuses on achieving the appearance and proportions you're looking for.

Modern breast implants are long-lasting but are not considered lifetime devices. Many patients enjoy their results for years before considering replacement or revision.
Cohesive gel implants, often called gummy bear implants, are popular because they maintain their shape and provide a natural feel. The best option depends on your goals and anatomy.
Implant type, implant size, surgical complexity, and whether additional procedures are performed can all influence pricing.
During your consultation, Dr. Rieger will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend implant options that complement your body proportions and desired outcome.
Silicone gel implants feel closer to natural breast tissue and are less likely to show rippling or an edge. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and tend to feel firmer. Both are priced the same - Dr. Rieger will help you choose based on your body type and desired outcome.
Most patients are up and moving within 24-48 hours. You can expect to return to a desk job within 3-5 days. Strenuous activity and exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks. Swelling typically improves within a few weeks, but full healing can take up to a year.
The best candidates are women in good physical health with realistic expectations. Surgery is not recommended if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have active infections. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Rieger to determine if you are a good candidate - a $50 non-refundable reservation fee is required to book your appointment.
