With Dr. Mark Kohout
What Are Breast Implants?
Breast implants are medical devices designed to augment or increase breast size and shape. They consist of a silicone or saline-filled shell surgically placed under the breast tissue or chest muscle. Used for cosmetic augmentation, breast reconstruction after a mastectomy, or alleviating breast asymmetry. Available in various shapes and sizes, breast implants allow individuals to achieve their desired aesthetic results.
Individual results vary due to personal health factors and genetics, and all surgical procedures carry inherent risks that should be discussed with a qualified health professional.
Who May Benefit
Choosing to undergo a cosmetic or reconstructive procedure is a significant decision that requires a clear understanding of your personal goals and physical needs. While every surgery is unique, certain criteria help determine if a patient is likely to achieve the best possible results and a safe recovery.
- Augment breast volume for a fuller appearance.
- Increase breast symmetry and shape.
- Increase breast contours after weight loss or pregnancy.

How is the procedure performed?
Consultation
During the initial consultation, the surgeon evaluates the patient’s goals, medical history, and anatomy. Imaging may be used to help visualise the desired outcome.
Anaesthesia and Incision
The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes incisions in inconspicuous areas, such as under the breast or around the areola, to reduce visible scarring.
Placement of Implants
The implants are inserted either above or below the chest muscle. Once positioned, the surgeon closes the incisions with sutures, and the patient is monitored in recovery.

What is the Recovery like?
Recovery from Breast Implants typically involves a few key stages.
- Expect swelling and discomfort; pain medication can help.
- Limit physical activity for several weeks to support healing.
- Follow-up visits with your surgeon are important for recovery.
- Most patients return to normal activities within 4 to 6 weeks.
What are the Risks?
Breast implants come with several risks, including infection, scarring, and implant rupture. Capsular contracture may occur, where scar tissue forms around the implant, leading to discomfort. Patients can also experience changes in nipple or breast sensation, and there may be dissatisfaction with the results. Discussing these risks with a surgeon is essential for informed decision-making.
What are the Costs?
The cost of breast implants varies depending on several factors, such as the surgeon’s fee, facility charges, and anaesthesia costs. Additional expenses, including pre-operative consultations, post-operative care, and required medications, can also impact the total price. Many clinics offer financing options to help make the procedure more affordable. For an accurate estimate and to discuss payment solutions, please contact Dr. Mark’s office directly.
We strive to provide flexible payment plans to ease the financial stress and strain for our patients.
