Breast Augmentation Seattle Cost
Breast augmentation in Seattle is a highly personalized cosmetic surgery in the US designed to enhance breast volume, improve symmetry, and create balanced proportions. Every patient has different goals. The procedure is carefully planned based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and the results you hope to achieve.
For many patients, the goal is not just a bigger cup size. They want to bring back breast fullness after pregnancy or weight loss, improve breast symmetry, and feel more confident in their body. Breast Augmentation in Seattle can also help clothing fit better and create a more balanced body shape.
At Allure Esthetic, Breast Augmentation Surgery is performed by Javad Sajan, a triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon with more than 10 years of experience and thousands of procedures completed.
Many patients do not want breasts that look overdone or unnatural. Most want fuller breasts that still look natural and match their body shape. During the procedure, the implant size, shape, and placement are carefully chosen to help create natural-looking results that fit the patient’s body.
What Is
Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty or breast enhancement, is a surgical procedure that adds volume and improves the shape of the breasts using silicone or saline implants, or a patient's own fat. It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries in the United States.
For most patients, the goal is not simply a larger cup size. It is restoring fullness after pregnancy or weight loss, improving symmetry, creating balance between the chest, waist, and hips, and achieving a silhouette that looks natural from every angle.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation in Seattle if you:
- Are in good overall health
- Maintain a stable weight
- Have realistic expectations
- Do not smoke (or you are willing to stop before and after surgery)
- Are not planning major near-term changes that can affect breast size (like pregnancy)
- Are at least 18 years old for saline implants and at least 22 years old for silicone implants
During your consultation, we review your medical history, take careful measurements, evaluate tissue and skin, and talk through size goals.
Breast Implant Options
Choosing the right breast implant is one of the most important decisions in the process. Dr. Sajan helps you compare feel, shape, and how each option will look on your frame.
Silicone Gel Implants
- Filled with cohesive gel designed to feel closer to natural breast tissue.
- Silicone implants are favored by many patients for a softer feel and reduced visible rippling.
- FDA-approved for patients 22 and older.
Saline Implants
- Filled with sterile saltwater solution.
- Volume can be adjusted during placement. If a saline implant ruptures, it deflates gradually and the change is typically noticeable.
- FDA-approved for patients 18 and older.
Cohesive Gel (Gummy Bear) Implants
- A form-stable silicone gel designed to maintain shape even if the shell is compromised.
- Particularly helpful for patients who want structured contour or have thinner natural tissue coverage.
Allure Esthetic offers Mentor® breast implants in a range of options, including silicone gel (MemoryGel®), form-stable, and saline. Mentor provides warranty coverage that may include implant replacement and financial assistance. Dr. Sajan will explain implant selection and Mentor warranty options during your consultation.
Routine monitoring is recommended for silicone implants in accordance with FDA guidelines, including periodic imaging when appropriate.
Seattle Breast Implants Placement Options
The placement of your implant (the "pocket" where it sits) has a significant effect on the look, feel, and recovery of your result. Dr. Sajan recommends placement based on your anatomy, tissue coverage, and goals.
Submuscular (Under the Muscle)
The implant is placed beneath the chest muscle. This often creates a softer upper slope, can reduce visible rippling in thinner patients, and is a common choice for a natural transition from chest to breast.
Subglandular (Over the Muscle)
The implant sits above the muscle and beneath the breast tissue. This can be appropriate when the patient has adequate natural tissue coverage and may result in a more noticeable upper fullness.
Subfascial
Placed beneath breast tissue but above the muscle, under the fascia layer. Provides slightly more coverage than subglandular placement and is selected in specific cases based on tissue thickness and patient goals.
Dual Plane
Partially under the muscle in the upper portion and under the breast tissue in the lower portion. Helps improve lower-breast expansion while maintaining upper coverage. It is commonly used when mild sagging is present.
Breast Augmentation Without Scars on the Breast
One of the first concerns patients raise during consultation is scarring. Many women want fuller breasts without visible scars on the breast itself. Dr. Sajan offers two no-scar techniques for appropriate candidates.
Transaxillary Breast Augmentation
BAMWHAT™ Technique
Dr. Sajan's signature approach creates a small incision (approximately one inch) within the natural crease of the underarm. When healed, it blends into the crease and leaves no scar on the breast or chest. This approach is one of the most technically precise methods available and requires deep experience with the axillary corridor.
Patients who choose this technique frequently report:
- No visible scar on the breast
- A clean, natural-looking breast fold
- A round, proportional shape
- A smooth and relatively comfortable recovery
Dr. Sajan is highly experienced with transaxillary placement, including larger silicone implants where anatomically appropriate and medically safe.
Transumbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA)
For select candidates, Dr. Sajan also performs TUBA - a technique that uses an incision at or near the navel to place implants through a remote entry point. Both saline and silicone implants can be placed through this approach. Not every patient qualifies for TUBA, and careful evaluation is required during consultation.
Breast Preservation Technique
Breast preservation is a modern approach to augmentation that focuses on protecting your natural breast tissue, nerves, and muscle while enhancing size and shape. Dr. Sajan uses techniques that avoid unnecessary cutting or muscle disruption, helping maintain the natural structure of the breast.
Implants are typically placed above the muscle or under a thin fascia layer to reduce trauma to surrounding structures. Because the muscle is not significantly disturbed, many patients experience less early discomfort and no animation movement when flexing the chest. Smaller incisions and careful placement also support minimal scarring and a smoother recovery.
Key benefits of breast preservation techniques include:
- Preservation of muscle, natural breast tissue, nerves, and supporting ligaments
- Smaller incisions and quickly fading scars
- Potentially faster and more comfortable recovery with less bruising and swelling
- May reduce muscle disruption in selected patients
- No animation distortion when flexing - a common concern with submuscular placement
During consultation, Dr. Sajan reviews your goals and anatomy to determine whether breast preservation is the right fit for your procedure.
Your Breast Augmentation Surgery Procedure at Allure Esthetic
Breast augmentation Seattle at Allure Esthetic follows a clear, personalized plan from start to finish. Here is what you can expect at each stage.
Consultation & Surgical Planning
Dr. Sajan meets with you, listens to your goals, and takes precise measurements of your chest and breast tissue. He explains implant options, incision locations, and placement techniques in plain language. You will receive an honest recommendation tailored specifically to your anatomy.
Pre-Operative Preparation
Our team provides detailed written instructions before surgery covering medications, supplements, lab work, and exactly how to prepare, so there are no surprises on surgery day.
Surgery Day
Dr. Sajan performs all breast augmentation procedures in our JCAHO-accredited surgical facility. When you arrive, you check in, meet the nursing team, and are prepared for anesthesia. A board-certified anesthesiologist administers IV sedation with local anesthesia so you fall asleep comfortably and wake up smoothly. Dr. Sajan reviews surgical markings and confirms your plan before beginning. The procedure typically takes one to two hours.
Precise Implant Placement
Dr. Sajan creates a small incision, typically about one inch, placed discreetly in the underarm fold, breast crease, or navel, depending on your surgical plan. He carefully forms the implant pocket to ensure balanced cleavage and long-term symmetry.
If additional internal support is needed, Galaflex® mesh may be used as an internal bra for reinforcement. Implants are inserted using the no-touch Keller Funnel technique, which reduces contamination risk and helps minimize scarring. Incisions are closed with dissolving sutures or surgical adhesive.
Immediate Post-Operative Care
You return home the same day with a surgical support garment and clear aftercare instructions. All essential post-surgical garments are included in the cost of the procedure. Most patients describe tightness and pressure rather than sharp pain, and many resume light activity within a few days.
Dr. Sajan personally schedules follow-up appointments to monitor healing and guide you through every stage of recovery.

Seattle Breast Augmentation
Recovery Timeline
Every surgical seattle breast augmentation recovery is a little different, but this is the pattern most patients experience at Allure Esthetic. Dr. Sajan will provide a personalized timeline based on your specific procedure and lifestyle.
-
First 48 Hours
Tightness and pressure across the chest. Mild to moderate discomfort. Swelling begins. Arm movement feels limited. Rest is essential.
-
Days 3–7
Light walking is encouraged. Many patients return to desk work within 3 to 5 days depending on job demands.
-
First 48 Hours
Swelling continues to improve. Light exercise (no chest workouts) can resume. Implants begin to relax from the initial 'high and tight' position.
-
First 48 Hours
Most patients return to full workouts including chest exercises with surgeon clearance. Breasts continue settling into their final position.
-
First 48 Hours
Final results may be visible. Implants fully settled, softened, and natural-looking. Scars continue to fade.
Final settling can take several months, especially with under-the-muscle placement. During this time, the implants soften, drop slightly, and assume their final position.
Breast Augmentation Risks and Complications
Every surgery carries risk. What matters most is how those risks are identified, communicated, and managed before, during, and after your procedure. Dr. Sajan believes in complete transparency so patients can make fully informed decisions.
Potential risks associated with breast augmentation Seattle include:
- Capsular contracture - scar tissue tightening around the implant
- Infection
- Bleeding
- Implant rupture or deflation
- Implant shifting or changes in position
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Need for revision surgery
Dr. Sajan proactively minimizes these risks through careful surgical planning, precise pocket creation, sterile technique, and appropriate implant selection for each patient's anatomy.
Patients are informed that breast implants may not be lifetime devices. Some patients choose revision surgery later due to implant aging, body changes, or personal preference. Long-term satisfaction remains high when patients are properly selected and thoroughly educated.
Breast Augmentation
Cost in Seattle - 2026
Breast augmentation at Allure Esthetic starts at:
- $5,995 for saline breast implants
- $6,495 for silicone breast implants
- $4,000 for fat transfer breast augmentation
These fees include the facility fee, anesthesia fee, post-operative follow-up appointments, and a complete set of post-surgical garments. Every patient's anatomy and goals are different, so the final cost may vary based on the level of customization involved.
For patients who prefer to spread payments over time, Allure Esthetic partners with CareCredit®, Alphaeon®, United Medical Credit, and PatientFi® to offer flexible monthly financing plans. Dr. Sajan will walk through all pricing and financing options during your consultation.
Note: According to the most recent American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) data, the national average surgeon fee for breast augmentation with implants is approximately $4,875. Our all-inclusive pricing covers facility, anesthesia, garments, and follow-up, ensuring no hidden fees after surgery.
Breast Augmentation Seattle: Implants vs. Fat Transfer
For patients who prefer to avoid implants, Dr. Sajan also performs fat transfer breast augmentation in Seattle using the patient's own fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs to add volume to the breasts.
Fat Transfer
Fat Transfer uses your own tissue. Natural feel. No implant. No foreign material in the body. Smaller incisions. Limited to a modest size increase (typically 1 cup size or less). Some fat reabsorbs naturally and may require more than one session.
Implants
Predictable, reliable volume increase. Wide range of sizes and shapes. Single procedure for most patients. Larger size changes are possible. Very long-lasting results. Implants are manufactured devices that require periodic monitoring.
For patients who want a significant size change or highly predictable results, implants are typically the better option. For patients seeking modest enhancement with a natural feel and no foreign material, fat transfer may be ideal. Dr. Sajan will help you determine which approach fits your goals and anatomy.

Combining Breast Augmentation with Other Procedures
Many patients choose to combine breast augmentation in Seattle with other procedures to improve their overall proportions within a single recovery window. Common combinations include:
- Breast lift (mastopexy) - For patients with sagging who also want added volume
- Mommy makeover - Breast augmentation combined with a tummy tuck and liposuction
- Tummy tuck (abdominoplasty)
- Liposuction - To refine waist, flanks, or thighs for improved overall balance
Combining procedures is a smart option when it matches your goals and your health allows for it. Dr. Sajan will discuss whether combination surgery is appropriate for you during your consultation.

Breast Augmentation Seattle Reviews
1,100+ Reviews on Google | 4.7 Star Reviews on RealSelf“I'm a trans woman living in Olympia who's been on HRT for years and already received bottom surgery prior to this, if any of that matters. I will be speaking to the out-of-town experience. Every step of the way, Dr.Sajan and his office has made this experience easy and comfortable. They accepted CareCredit which was amazing and made it very affordable. The surgery itself was handled very professionally, I was in and out relatively quickly and my husband had me home within an hour or so. I'm a month out from my surgery now, and I'm already very happy with the results. Of course another 2 months or so of after-care are required before everything is finalized, but compared to bottom surgery this is a walk in the park. He offers virtual follow-up calls which is EXTREMELY convenient, and he was still able to give good advice and feedback over video call. Overall, my experience has been a 10/10, not sure what could be improved really. Worth every penny!”

“My experience with Dr. Javad Sajan was amazing i had breast augmentation about a months ago, And i couldn’t be happier with my results so far. I cant wait for the final results. Every appointment i have i get all my questions answered and even when little things worried me I emailed them and a few hours later i will get a phone call from them answering my concerns. All i can say is i am extremely happy.”
“I've been small chested all my life. After years of research, I decided to pull the trigger and do the surgery! I'm 29yo, 5'2", 125 pounds, with a petite/athletic build. After a consult with my doctor, we decided on 345cc Mentor Anatomical Gummy implants. I am currently in day 2 of post-op. I am incredibly sore, but so far everything is healing well.”

Breast Augmentation and Breastfeeding
Many women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation, but outcomes depend on anatomy, incision choice, and individual factors. If breastfeeding is important to you, bring it up during your consultation so your surgical plan can be designed around it. The transaxillary approach avoids incisions on the breast itself and is often discussed as a breastfeeding-conscious option.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do breast implants last?
Implants do not have a fixed expiration date. Many patients keep the same implants for 10 to 20 years or longer. Some choose changes sooner due to lifestyle shifts, body changes, or personal preference. Regular monitoring is recommended for silicone implants per FDA guidelines.
Is breast augmentation painful?
Most patients describe tightness and pressure more than sharp pain. Discomfort is expected in the first few days and is typically manageable with a structured recovery plan. Patients who choose breast preservation techniques often report less early discomfort than with traditional submuscular approaches.
Will breast augmentation leave scars on the breast?
Not necessarily. Dr. Sajan offers the transaxillary BAMWHAT™ technique and the transumbilical (TUBA) approach - both of which place incisions away from the breast entirely, leaving no visible scar on the chest or breast skin.
When can I exercise again?
Light walking is encouraged early in recovery. Most patients resume light lower-body exercise in 2 to 3 weeks, and full workouts including chest exercises after 6 to 8 weeks with surgeon clearance.
How much does breast augmentation cost in Seattle?
At Allure Esthetic, saline breast augmentation pricing typically begins at $5,995 and silicone starts at $6,495. These all-inclusive fees cover the facility, anesthesia, follow-up appointments, and post-surgical garments. Financing is available through CareCredit®, Alphaeon®, United Medical Credit, and PatientFi®.
Will insurance cover breast augmentation in Seattle?
Cosmetic breast augmentation in Seattle is not typically covered by insurance. Coverage may be available for reconstructive procedures following mastectomy or trauma. Confirm directly with your insurance provider.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Many women can breastfeed after augmentation, particularly when implants are placed under the muscle and incisions are kept away from the breast. Outcomes vary based on individual anatomy and surgical approach. Discuss your plans with Dr. Sajan during consultation.
How long does recovery take?
Most patients return to light daily activities within 5 to 7 days. Full recovery can take several weeks to a few months depending on implant placement and individual healing. Dr. Sajan will provide a timeline specific to your procedure.
What is the difference between breast augmentation and a breast lift?
Breast augmentation adds volume and improves shape using implants or fat transfer. A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions and tightens drooping breast tissue without adding significant size. Both procedures can be combined when a patient wants volume and improved position at the same time.
How long after surgery can I swim?
We recommend waiting 4 to 6 weeks before swimming to allow incisions to heal fully and reduce infection risk. This includes pools, hot tubs, lakes, and ocean water.
What if I want my implants removed or changed later?
Implant removal or revision is possible and relatively common. Patients choose changes later for a variety of reasons including lifestyle changes, aesthetic preference, or implant-related concerns. Dr. Sajan performs revision surgery and will discuss your options if you reach that point.
Is breast augmentation safe?
Breast augmentation in Seattle is generally considered safe when performed by a qualified, experienced surgeon in a properly accredited facility. As with any surgery, risks including infection, implant rupture, and capsular contracture exist. At Allure Esthetic, these risks are actively managed through careful patient selection, sterile technique, and proper implant placement.
Do Mentor® breast implants include a warranty?
Yes. Mentor includes automatic 10-year warranty coverage, and an enhanced plan may be available if purchased within a set time after surgery. Coverage varies by implant type and can include implant replacement and financial assistance for certain complications. Our team will review eligibility, timelines, and registration during consultation.
