Hello. Yes. Breast augmentation mammoplasty or breast implants are only performed by plastic and cosmetic surgeons. If you have any further questions or inquiries please visit my website at Drroya.com. Good luck!
Yes it is one of the most common things they do
Yes. It is one of the most common surgeries completed by plastic surgeons. No other speciality does them. Most plastic surgeons first complete general surgery before going into plastic surgery, so they have the experience in general breast surgery. Plastic surgery training has a lot to do with the breast whether it be cosmetic or reconstructive. However, make
sure this is the case for the surgeon you make an appointment.
Yes. Plastic surgeons use breast implants for augmentation and reconstruction.
Yes, plastic surgeons are perhaps the very best qualified doctors to do your breast augmentation. Cosmetic surgery is one of the major things done by plastic surgeons and especially by those of us who have narrowed the scope of our practice to do almost entirely elective cosmetic surgery. In fact, breast implant surgery is one of the most common procedures I do in my practice! Be sure to look for certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. It is the premier credential in the field of cosmetic surgery.

Yes. Only Plastic Surgeons should be doing breast implants. It is a major part of Plastic Surgery training and often of a Plastic Surgery practice.
Plastic surgeons are the only surgeons that have received the proper training to perform breast implant surgery. Cosmetic surgeons and other surgeons who have not had the appropriate training provided by plastic surgery residency may not be able to handle all of the variations and complications that can come from the procedure.

Yes. That should be the only surgeon who performs breast implants.
