Frequently Asked Questions

When you meet with Dr. Weiglein he will take as long as necessary to provide the answers you need to feel comfortable. In the meantime, you may find some of the answers you are looking for in these answers to common questions.

  • A woman’s sense of femininity, sensuality and overall confidence are strongly tied to how she feels about her breasts. That is true whether you’re Generation-X or a Baby Boomer. As long as you are an adult, mentally and physically healthy, and have realistic expectations, you have every right to consider breast augmentation. Dr. Weiglein has done a breast augmentation on a 72-year-old woman and she is very pleased with her result. For regulatory reasons, cosmetic breast augmentation is usually not done before age 18.

  • Studies have shown that breast enhancement patients typically experience more fulfilling sex lives, possibly due to their improved self-confidence and feelings of attractiveness. Virtually all of our breast enhancement patients tell us that they can wear clothing that they wouldn’t or couldn’t wear before.

  • Yes. If Dr. Weiglein feels that it is safe to combine 2 procedures and the operating time is manageable, this can be a great option. It can save anaesthesia costs and shorten overall recovery time, and you get a more dramatic outcome! He often combines breast procedures with a tummy tuck and liposuction. Breast lift with augmentation is another popular combination.

  • No. Breast implants can fill an empty breast; they cannot raise a droopy one. Excess skin and malpositioned nipples need to be addressed with a breast lift. This procedure, when combined with breast augmentation restores proper nipple position and provides better upper pole fullness. This combination of procedures results in fuller, beautifully shaped breasts that could not be achieved by either procedure alone.

  • Yes! If you want a very natural-looking result, Dr. Weiglein has the skill and experience to produce breasts that look like Mother Nature made them. However, some women want a more dramatic look, with lots of upper breast fullness and eye-catching cleavage. Dr. Weiglein can achieve that look, too. The point is, breast appearance is a very personal, emotional decision, and at Cosmedica, we always design your procedure to produce the results you want while keeping it safe.
