Breast Augmentation in Chicago

Breast augmentation starts at $7,995 and up with silicone implants and $9,995 and up with Motiva implants. The starting price covers the surgeon's fee, facility fee, one post-surgical garment, and all post-operative appointments for one year. Anesthesia isn't part of the starting price. Your quote includes an anesthesia estimate, billed to you separately, so you know the full cost before you book. Final pricing depends on the surgeon, implant type, and any combined procedures. Financing is available through CareCredit, Cherry, and Alphaeon for qualified applicants.

Natural-looking results are the most common request we hear, and it is what our surgeons specialize in. Dr. Truong and Dr. Lin use Natrelle and Motiva implants, both made of cohesive silicone gel that mimics natural breast tissue. The surgeon will recommend the right size, profile, and placement for each patient's body proportions so results look and feel natural.

Dr. Truong or Dr. Lin will guide each patient through sizing during the consultation. They use sizers to help patients visualize how different sizes look on their frame and will recommend a size based on chest width, tissue, and goals. Patients often say the surgeon's size recommendation was one of the things they were most grateful for. Patients often start by browsing the breast augmentation gallery to identify the look they want before consultation.

Most patients return to work in 7 to 10 days. Plan to rest the first day, start short walks the next morning, and wear a post-surgical bra around the clock for the first few weeks. Full return to exercise and strenuous activity typically takes 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling continues to settle over 3 to 6 months. The care team is available throughout, including a named patient coordinator.

Individual recovery timelines may vary.

Our surgeons offer both Natrelle and Motiva implants, both FDA-approved and backed by extensive clinical research. Like every breast implant sold in the U.S., they carry an FDA boxed warning, and the surgeon walks through it with each patient. Implants are not lifetime devices: the longer they are in place, the more likely a complication such as rupture or capsular contracture (scar tissue tightening around the implant) becomes, and some complications need another surgery. Breast implants have been associated with BIA-ALCL, a rare cancer of the immune system reported more often with textured implants than smooth ones. Some patients also report symptoms such as joint pain or fatigue; how often these are linked to implants is not well established. Periodic imaging is recommended to check silicone implants for rupture. At the consultation, the surgeon reviews the FDA patient decision checklist so every patient understands the risks before deciding.

We offer Natrelle and Motiva breast implants. Natrelle implants are available in multiple profiles including Inspira and Inspira Cohesive. Motiva implants feature their proprietary ergonomic design that adapts to movement. Both are made of cohesive silicone gel that mimics natural breast tissue. The surgeon will recommend the right option based on body type and desired outcome.

Yes, and timing is worth planning. Breast implants and breast surgery may interfere with breastfeeding: the implant manufacturer's FDA patient checklist reports lactation complications in up to 30% of patients. Implants are not placed during pregnancy or while nursing. The surgeon can discuss timing and family planning during the consultation.

Yes. Complimentary virtual consultations are available and are valued at $250. We regularly care for patients who travel from outside Illinois and from all over the country.
