Hi Dr. Kearney,
I was wondering how long after my breast augmentation, could I have revision to go bigger? I am so unhappy with my size. Also do most doctors charge the full breast augmentation fee again? Thank you so much!!

I would wait at least three months to make sure everything has settled normally and you get a clear idea about size and shape and are certain that you don't need any other revision.

I do not charge my patients a surgeons fee if they want to go bigger and discover this in the first few months however there is an anesthesia and operating room fee plus implant fee which costs about $2100. All PS are different in this regard.

Good luck,

Dr. Kearney

Interesting. Dr. Kearney, what about 1 year later ... after i've dropped my breast don't look as full as i would like it to be. Looks very natural but appears small in relations to my body. Would you charge full fee as a new breast augmentation?

2100 just for the implants, or is that all the fees? Thank you so much for your quick response!

That fee would be for everything if it was a change of implant size for my own patient.
