Breast Surgery Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which breast procedure is right for me?
You begin with a comprehensive consultation, during which your anatomy, skin quality, existing breast tissue, and goals are carefully evaluated. Dr. Ulm explains what each treatment option can and cannot achieve, and often discusses multiple approaches. Together, you decide on a surgical plan that matches your specific anatomy and priorities.
Will my results look natural?
Natural-looking outcomes come from precise planning and proportion-based decision-making. Dr. Ulm always customizes implant selection, fat placement, lifting patterns, and incision design to your body. Patients frequently share that their results look balanced and aligned with what they specifically asked for, not overdone or artificial.
Can procedures be combined in one surgery?
Yes. Many patients combine procedures such as a breast lift with augmentation or reduction with shaping. Combining procedures can streamline recovery and enhance overall results, but only when done safely. Dr. Ulm will discuss whether combination surgery is appropriate for you.
Will I have visible scars?
All breast surgery involves some scarring, but incision placement and closure techniques are carefully chosen to keep scars as discreet as possible. Over time, scars typically fade and soften. Patients often comment on how well their scars heal compared to expectations.
What are the risks of breast surgery?
All surgery carries some level of risk, such as infection, bleeding, scarring, asymmetry, or temporary or permanent changes in sensation. Implant-based procedures also carry specific risks, such as capsular contracture, implant shifting, or the need for future revision. During your consultation, Dr. Ulm reviews these possibilities in clear, easy-to-understand language so you clearly understand both benefits and limitations before moving forward.
