Our office is open, and we are following all CDC safety guidelines and protocols to make sure that every patient that walks through our door feels safe and comfortable.

Are you right for breast augmentation?

There are many factors that our Elmhurst, IL, plastic surgeon will need to take into account in order to figure out whether breast augmentation is right for you. Some of the factors that will determine your candidacy include,

Your overall health

As with any cosmetic procedure, we first want to make sure that you are in the best health possible before undergoing surgery. Any current health problems that you are dealing with will need to be properly treated before we can begin treatment. Make sure to talk with our surgeon about your medical history to make sure you are healthy enough for breast augmentation surgery.

Your habits

Our goal is to make sure that you heal as quickly as possible, so we will also ask you about your lifestyle and habits to determine if any bad habits could impede the healing process or make recovery more difficult. Two ways to ensure a smooth breast augmentation recovery is to quit smoking prior to surgery and to avoid alcohol during this time.

Your goals are realistic

Breast augmentation, as well as all of the cosmetic and reconstructive services we offer here in Elmhurst, IL, can provide amazing, permanent results; however, it’s also important to recognize what breast augmentation can and can’t do so you fully understand the results. If you have questions about this surgery, we would be happy to discuss these with you during your consultation.

You want larger, fuller, and even breasts

While most women assume that breast augmentation is designed to increase the size and volume of small breasts, this procedure can also help to improve the appearance of asymmetrical and sagging breasts. Women who have had surgery in the past for breast cancer may also be able to improve their appearance through breast augmentation after their cancer has been properly treated (talk with your plastic surgeon to learn more).

Your safety is paramount with Dr. Saulis. For your initial consultation, please be aware that Dr. Saulis and her staff have and continue to focus on decreasing any risk of patient infection. If you do decide to undergo a breast augmentation you’ll be in safe, trustworthy hands. All surgeries are performed at two JACHO approved hospitals: Elmhurst Memorial Hospital and Hinsdale Hospital. Both of these hospitals are national leaders in patient satisfaction and low infection rates.
