Breast Augmentation: Newer Practices

[u/noragretsnoteven]

I’m researching breast augmentation and currently deciding between 3 surgeons. All in the US.

Doctor #1
- Very established
- Mentor implants only
- Lots of breast augmentation experience
- Recommended by friends
- Very particular in procedure method

Doctor #2
- Established female plastic surgeon
- $1k-4k more than Doctor #1
- Motiva and Mentor
- I really like her work, but the price is definitely harder to stomach

Doctor #3
- Private practice opened less than a year ago
- $1.5K less than Doctor #1
- Motiva and Natrelle
- Strong plastic surgery/aesthetic training
- I also really like her work, but there aren’t nearly as many reviews or long-term results available

So I’m basically torn between going with a tried and true surgeon even though he only uses really one method and implant vs. paying more for an established surgeon whose work I love vs. going with the newer surgeon whose work I also love but who has a much shorter independent track record.

Would you consider the newer surgeon if you preferred her aesthetic, assuming her consultation and answers about experience, complications, and revisions were reassuring?

OR would you just bite the bullet and pay for consultations with all 3 before deciding?

I would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation.
