FAQ
What is the annual number of procedures performed by Dr. Jugenburg?
Each year, we perform approximately 500 breast augmentation surgeries and around 200 combined breast augmentations with lifts, which places Dr. Jugenburg among the top five breast augmentation specialists in the country. Over his surgical career, he has completed thousands of procedures.
Is silicone or saline implants prefered?
It's split equally between both.
We like saline if there is a rupture it will be immediately noticed. Although both saline and silicone implants are safe, effective, and have a similar appearance. The primary difference lies in feel, not look—contrary to some internet claims. In most patients with sufficient natural breast tissue, it’s impossible to distinguish between silicone and saline. We’re particularly impressed with the new Ideal Implant, a saline-based option that incorporates features of silicone, offering the best of both worlds. We’re big fans of the new Ideal Implant—it’s saline-based but has the feel of silicone, giving you the best of both worlds.
Which implants are most used?
We primarily use Allergan Inspira, which is the latest and best silicone implants available. We also offer Mentor implants for those who prefer them. Recently, we added the Ideal Implant to our lineup—a new, saline-based option that looks and feels like silicone, giving you the benefits of both types.
What if a medical emergency occurs?
As a fully certified facility, we're equipped to handle any emergency, just like a hospital. If necessary, we can transfer patients to the nearest hospital, St. Michael’s, which is only five minutes away, or to Humber Hospital, where Dr. Jugenburg has privileges and can provide continued care.
Are re-operation fees included in the surgical fee?
We stand behind our work. If you encounter any issues after your breast augmentation, we’ll take care of it at no extra charge. Re-operations needed to address deviations from the desired result, capsular contracture, or implant malposition immediately post-surgery are covered.
If an implant leaks or ruptures within the first year, it’s fully covered. After one year, the implant manufacturer’s lifetime warranty covers leaks or ruptures, with only anesthesia costs being your responsibility.
Although, the following re-operations are not included in the initial fee:
- Changing implant size (larger or smaller)
- Switching implant type
- Adjusting for breast changes due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or natural aging.
Please remember that your body and breasts will continue to change over time, including natural shifts in shape, volume, and position. Touch-ups for these normal changes are not covered. Over time, gravity will also cause implants to shift—downward when standing and to the side when lying down. This is normal.
What re-operation does Dr. Jugenburg perform most frequently?
When implants are positioned under the muscle, the natural asymmetry of the muscle anatomy (which is completely normal) can sometimes cause one implant to sit higher than the other. If post-surgical massage doesn’t help balance the implants, additional assistance may be needed to bring them into alignment.
Keep in mind that some asymmetry is normal, and it's unlikely that any two breasts will ever be perfectly symmetrical.
How much cosmetic work does Dr. Jugenburg do?
Dr. Jugenburg’s practice focuses almost entirely on cosmetic procedures. He constantly performs breast reconstruction for cancer patients, which is one of his true passions.
How long does it take for the implants to settle, and for me to see the final results?
99% of implants settle within three months, although in cases it can take up to a year
