Breast augmentation remains one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures in the world, and Portland, Oregon is no exception.

Dr. Aaron Gilson of Gilson Plastic Surgery in Portland is dedicated to providing answers to the most frequently asked questions about breast augmentation, ensuring that every potential patient is well-informed and confident in their decision.
The cost of breast augmentation in Portland can vary based on several factors, including the surgeon’s experience, the type of implants chosen, and additional surgical fees. While it’s essential to prioritize expertise and safety over cost, Dr. Gilson offers competitive pricing without compromising on quality.
Again, the average cost can fluctuate based on various elements such as the cost of the facility and care from an anesthesiologist. It’s always recommended to schedule a consultation to get a personalized estimate tailored to your specific needs and desires.
Gummy bear implants, also known as cohesive gel silicone implants, have gained popularity due to their ability to maintain shape and offer a natural feel. They are called “gummy bear” because, much like the candy, they retain their shape even when cut in half. This type of implant is less likely to wrinkle, ripple, or leak compared to other implants.
Breast implants are durable, but they aren’t designed to last a lifetime. Over time, the implant may rupture, leak, or change shape. Regular check-ups and imaging tests, like MRI or high-resolution ultrasound, can help monitor the integrity of the implants. It’s essential to consult with your surgeon about the longevity and potential replacement of your implants.
The “right” size for breast implants is highly individual. 350cc might be perfect for one person but not for another. Factors like body proportion, natural breast tissue, and personal preference play a role. Dr. Gilson offers complimentary implant sizing, including the use of advanced 3D imaging technology, to help patients visualize potential outcomes.
The term “boob job” often refers to breast augmentation, but it can also include other procedures like breast lift or reduction. As with the cost of breast augmentation, the price can vary. It’s best to schedule a consultation with Dr. Gilson for a precise estimate.
Costs can differ based on the specific procedure, the surgeon’s experience, and other related factors. Dr. Gilson is committed to providing transparent pricing and will discuss all costs during the consultation based on your aesthetic needs.
While trends in breast implant sizes can change and vary from region to region, the most popular size aligns with a patient’s desire for a natural and proportionate look. The choice of implant size should be a collaborative decision between the patient and the surgeon, considering both aesthetic goals and physical comfort.
Breast augmentation is a deeply personal decision, and being informed is crucial. Dr. Aaron Gilson is here to guide you every step of the way, ensuring that your journey to enhanced confidence is both safe and satisfying.
