What this category covers
Breast surgery spans a range of procedures: augmentation with silicone or saline implants, fat transfer augmentation, breast lift (mastopexy), reduction, and reconstructive work after mastectomy or injury. Some patients also combine a lift with implants in one operation. Each of these has different incision patterns, recovery timelines, and risks, so the right choice depends on your anatomy, goals, and whether you're correcting sagging, adding volume, reducing size, or rebuilding after surgery.
In Aurora, this work is done in a mix of solo plastic surgery practices and larger cosmetic surgery centers. We've identified 8 businesses in this category, ranging from surgeons who focus mainly on breast and body procedures to broader practices that also handle facial cosmetic surgery and reconstruction.
What to look for before you book a consult
- Board certification in plastic surgery specifically, not just a "cosmetic surgery" credential, which can mean less standardized training.
- Where surgery happens: an accredited surgical facility or hospital, not an office-based setup without accreditation.
- Before-and-after photos of their own patients, ideally people with a body type similar to yours.
- A clear conversation about implant type, placement, and revision risk, rather than a rushed sales pitch.
- Who handles complications: whether the surgeon personally manages follow-up care and revisions if something needs adjusting.
