Breast augmentation, also called breast enlargement or a “boob job,” is a breast enhancement procedure that adds fullness to one or both breasts with implants.
The cost for a breast augmentation procedure at our Columbus, Ohio, practice varies based on several factors, including the complexity of your procedure, the type of implants you choose, and whether you are having any additional procedures during the same surgery.
While cost is a necessary consideration, your surgeon’s qualifications and experience should top your priorities. Your well-being and results matter more than the price difference. Please visit our pricing page and related blog post for more detailed information about breast augmentation pricing.
If you think larger or fuller breasts will help you feel more confident and bring balance to your figure, then breast augmentation is a great surgical option. Some women have always wanted larger breasts, and others notice that their breasts lose volume after pregnancy or aging. Dr. Taylor’s sympathetic and engaging personality helps women open up to her about their reasons for wanting breast augmentation, which often include:
Dr. Taylor sees women of all ages and sizes for this procedure and will customize your results to best flatter your body. In some cases, she may recommend combining breast augmentation with a breast lift if your breasts sag. Body contouring procedures such as liposuction and a tummy tuck can also be included as part of a mommy makeover.

Many women are unsure about which breast enhancement procedure will give them the improvements they want. Here are some differences:
Breast augmentation adds or restores breast volume. If you have minor sagging, breast implants may fill out your breasts enough to provide an attractive shape.

A breast lift removes lax skin to improve breast shape and raise them on the chest. It also reshapes the breasts and areolas, but it does not change their size. A breast lift is usually needed if the nipples sit below the breast crease or point downward instead of straight ahead.

If you want larger breasts and have moderate to significant sagging, Dr. Taylor can combine your augmentation with a breast lift to reposition your breasts and increase volume in a single procedure.

During your consultation, Dr. Taylor will spend time getting to know you and understanding your motivations, goals, preferences, and lifestyle. She will also examine you physically and take a series of measurements. She will use this information to recommend the best approach to breast augmentation, including the size and style of breast implants and surgical technique.
One of the keys to beautiful, natural-looking breast augmentation results is choosing the right implants. Dr. Anne Taylor helps take the stress and guesswork out of this important decision. With over 20 years of experience performing breast augmentation, she has perfected the art of helping women choose the breast implants that will best provide the enhanced look they envision for themselves.
Choosing the right implant size is often the most challenging decision women undergoing breast augmentation have to make. Dr. Taylor will help you understand how the volume of breast implants (measured in cubic centimeters of liquid volume, or cc) translates to cup sizes. She may recommend that you bring in photos of women whose breasts most closely resemble the look you are trying to achieve. She will make a recommendation based on your goals and your existing breast tissue, but ultimately, the choice of size will be based on your personal preference.
Silicone Gel Implants
Women who want breasts that look and feel more natural choose this type of implant. Options include cohesive silicone gel implants and highly cohesive silicone (“gummy bear”) implants. These implants are:
Saline Implants
These implants are filled with sterile saline (saltwater) and are a good choice for women who want the reassurance of knowing their breast implants are filled with a harmless saline solution that can be naturally absorbed by the body in case of rupture. Saline implants offer some pros and cons:
Dr. Taylor discusses these options personally with each patient during the consultation
Breast implants are available in round and teardrop (also called anatomical or shaped) types. Round implants are a good choice for patients who want to increase fullness in the upper breasts. Shaped implants are designed to achieve a natural-looking breast shape that gradually slopes out from the upper chest and has more fullness at the bottom.
The profile of a breast implant is the degree to which it projects or sticks out from the chest wall when placed behind the breast tissue. There are many available profiles, which are not standard between manufacturers, but generally range from high to moderate, to low. A high-profile implant projects forward more than a moderate profile implant. The base of low-profile implants is usually wider than high-profile implants; therefore, implants with high profiles are better suited to women who have a narrow rib cage.
The surgical technique used will depend on the type of implant you choose, as well as your cosmetic preferences and anatomy. Dr. Taylor offers two types of incisions: periareolar (around the lower border of the areola) and inframammary fold incisions (in the breast crease). Dr. Taylor will discuss the advantages of each surgical option during your appointment.
Dr. Taylor performs all breast augmentation procedures in a fully accredited surgery center. She prefers general anesthesia, administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, to enhance patient comfort. Breast augmentation is usually an outpatient procedure, so patients return home the day of surgery in the care of an adult friend or family member.
To begin the surgery, Dr. Taylor places an incision either under the breast or around the areola. She then creates a space for the implant, in most cases under the chest muscle for a more natural look and feel. Next, she inserts the breast implants, assesses breast size and shape, and makes any adjustments needed to achieve the desired results. If she is also performing a breast lift, Dr. Taylor will remove excess skin, reshape the breast, and reposition the nipple to a natural location. Dissolvable sutures are discreetly placed under the skin.
After surgery, you will be asked to wear a special bra and ACE wrap to help stabilize your breasts and minimize swelling. Initially, it is normal for the breasts to feel hard and tight and sit a bit high on the chest until swelling subsides and stretched skin and muscles relax.
Here is a timeline of significant recovery milestones (experiences vary):
Post-operative check-ups occur once a week for 3 weeks to ensure that you are healing well and are happy with your results. Once recovery is complete and the breasts have settled and softened, Dr. Taylor’s patients tend to be thrilled with their new breasts, new bras, and newfound body confidence.

With the advancements in today’s breast implants, there is no absolute timeframe for replacing them — but it’s also doubtful that they will last a lifetime. If a saline implant deflates or if you develop a complication later in life, it’s important to see a plastic surgeon without delay. Many women come to Dr. Taylor for breast augmentation revision surgery as well as elective implant exchange, as their tastes change and new implants become available.
Breast augmentation is a safe procedure when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast enhancement surgery and uses FDA-approved implants.
The degree of discomfort varies greatly depending on the patient, as well as the surgical techniques used and whether or not additional procedures were performed. Regardless, any discomfort is easily managed with oral pain medication.
Many women can successfully breastfeed after breast augmentation. When planned with the future goal of breastfeeding in mind, your breast augmentation procedure can avoid the nipples and milk glands altogether. During your consultation, it’s important to share your plans with Dr. Taylor.
Breast implants, whether saline or silicone, have no effect on the quality of breast milk, so there’s no cause for concern about the baby’s safety.
In most cases, tuberous breast surgery is significantly more complex than breast augmentation. With tuberous breast disorder, the breast usually has a narrow base and sits high on the chest. This is referred to as a constricted lower pole. The areola may be large and puffy. Creating a full, rounded breast shape with a proportional nipple/areola is usually a very complex procedure that often is performed in 2 stages.
Yes. Regular mammograms are an important part of taking care of your health as a woman. To ensure a clear assessment of your breast tissue, your technician will take multiple scans of your breasts. This allows for views that include the breasts and implants together, as well as views with the implants pushed back against the chest wall (to get an image of the breast tissue alone).
