If you’re considering breast augmentation to enhance your silhouette, the journey from consultation to recovery can feel daunting. Over 300,000 breast augmentations are performed annually in the U.S., yet many patients face impersonal care and hidden costs. Direct Primary Care (DPC) transforms this experience by offering tailored, transparent support—ensuring your transformation is safe, smooth, and aligned with your vision.
Breast augmentation uses implants or fat transfer to enhance breast size and shape. Implant types include saline, silicone, or gummy bear (form-stable), each with unique benefits.
Key facts for patients:
Safety: FDA-approved; risks include capsular contracture (3 - 15%) or implant rupture (1% annually).
Recovery: Resume light duties in 1 week; avoid heavy lifting for 6 weeks.
Costs: Traditional clinics charge 6,000 - 12,000 USD; DPC negotiates 5,000 - 10,000 USD.
Risks of fragmented care:
Asymmetry or poor implant placement due to rushed consultations.
Undetected complications like hematomas or infections.
Financial stress from surprise facility or anesthesia fees.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) operates on a membership model (typically 70 - 150 USD/month), offering unlimited access to a provider who coordinates your care. For breast augmentation, this means meticulous prep, expert coordination, and recovery that prioritizes your goals.
Comprehensive consultations: Discuss implant type, size, and placement (over vs. under muscle).
Health optimization: Manage BMI, quit smoking, or adjust medications for safer surgery.
Surgeon collaboration: Ensure board-certified plastic surgeons with proven aesthetic results.
All-inclusive pricing: Cover implants, anesthesia, and facility fees (e.g., 7,000 USD vs. 12,000+ USD traditionally).
No hidden fees: Follow-ups, post-op bras, and scar care included.
Preventive focus: Early complication detection avoids 5,000+ USD revision surgeries.
24/7 monitoring: Text photos of swelling or incision sites for instant advice.
Pain management: Prescribe non-opioid options and recommend cold compresses.
Scar care: Provide silicone sheets or laser treatments for minimal scarring.
