Saline
Filled with sterile saltwater after placement, so the incision can be smaller. The feel is slightly firmer, and if a rupture ever occurs it is obvious, because the body simply absorbs the saline.

Weighing breast augmentation in Schaumburg? Start with the choices.
Schaumburg has no shortage of practices within driving distance. Harder to find is a consultation that treats implant selection as a real decision — where saline, silicone gel, and Motiva Preservé are each explained on their merits.
Dr. Sameer Kapadia sees Schaumburg patients at his Elk Grove Village office on the Ascension Alexian Brothers Medical Center campus, roughly 15 minutes from the Woodfield area — so sizing visits, pre-operative appointments, and every follow-up stay close to home.
The goal
An implant chosen for your frame — not from a trend.
- All three implant families explained plainly

Sizing & Fit
How size and profile actually get decided
Implant selection is not a catalog exercise, and it is not about chasing a cup size. It is a fitting.
In consultation, Dr. Kapadia measures your chest wall, base width, and existing breast tissue — dimensions that set the realistic range before taste enters the picture. From there you try sizers, talk through how you want to look in and out of clothing, and weigh your lifestyle.
Profile matters as much as volume: two implants of identical size can sit very differently depending on projection and width. The outcome is not a promise of a particular look, but a plan for an implant designed to fit your frame.
Recovery
A realistic recovery outline
Shorter than many patients expect, though it asks for patience in stages.
Week 1
Rest, then desk work
Soreness and swelling peak early. Most patients are back to desk work in about a week, with lifting and overhead motion still limited.
Weeks 2–3
Routine returns
Swelling settles and daily life feels closer to normal, though the chest still feels newer than final.
Weeks 4–6
Exercise, in stages
Workouts resume gradually once cleared, and the result keeps softening into place over the following months.
Cost & Financing
Straight answers on pricing
Cost depends on the implant you choose and the specifics of your plan, which is why we quote after a consultation, not over the phone.
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance. At your visit you receive clear, itemized pricing with no surprises, and financing options are available for patients who prefer to spread the cost over time.

Schaumburg Patient Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Which breast implant options are available to Schaumburg patients?
Dr. Kapadia offers saline implants, silicone gel implants, and Motiva Preservé, a newer generation of silicone gel implant carried by a limited number of practices in the Chicago area.
Each option has a different feel, profile range, and set of trade-offs. Your consultation walks through all three side by side, so the comparison is concrete rather than abstract.
What is Motiva Preservé?
Motiva Preservé is an advanced silicone gel implant built around a soft, highly elastic gel and a refined implant surface. Many patients researching breast implants near Schaumburg ask about it by name.
Dr. Kapadia offers Motiva Preservé and will tell you candidly whether it makes sense for your anatomy and goals, or whether a traditional saline or silicone gel implant would serve you better.
How will we decide on the right implant size for me?
Size is settled in consultation, not picked from a chart. Dr. Kapadia measures your chest wall and existing breast tissue, has you try sizers, and asks how you want to look in clothing and how active your life is.
The recommendation that comes out of that conversation is an implant designed to fit your frame, in a profile that suits your proportions.
What should I expect from breast augmentation recovery?
Most patients are back to desk work in about a week, with soreness and swelling most noticeable in the first several days.
Lifting and exercise return in stages, with most restrictions lifted around four to six weeks as healing allows. The final shape continues to soften and settle over the months that follow.
How much does breast augmentation cost near Schaumburg?
Pricing depends on the implant you choose and the details of your surgical plan, so an accurate quote comes after a consultation rather than before it. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure and is not covered by insurance.
Our office provides clear, itemized pricing at your visit, and financing options are available for patients who prefer to pay over time.
Can I see before-and-after results before booking?
Yes. Our before-and-after gallery is available online, and Dr. Kapadia reviews additional cases with you in consultation, focusing on patients whose starting anatomy resembles yours.
Individual results may vary, so treat photos as evidence of his aesthetic judgment rather than a preview of your own outcome.
