Breast Augmentation in Bellingham, WA
Personalized Treatment for a
Curvy, Proportionate Figure
Two Board-Certified Plastic Surgeons in One Practice
60+ Years of Combined Plastic Surgery Experience
Surgery at Our Attached Private Facility, Not the Hospital
Why Patients Choose Plastic Surgery Bellingham for Breast Augmentation
Both of our surgeons are board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and Fellows of the American College of Surgeons, with more than 60 years of combined plastic and cosmetic surgery experience between them. Patients have access to two senior plastic surgeons under one roof, not a single-surgeon practice with one perspective.
Breast augmentation patients have their surgery at our own attached surgical facility, not at the local hospital. The setting is private and discreet, and the same surgeons who plan your case perform it. Our dedicated clinic and surgical teams keep your care tailored to you at every stage. For a cosmetic procedure with a recovery period, the difference in environment matters.
Implant type, size, incision, and placement are decided around your anatomy and the result you want, not a default protocol. The consultation walks through the choices against your specific case so you understand the trade-offs before surgery day. We offer a range of saline and silicone implants from Allergan, Mentor, and Motiva to meet your unique goals.
Real Breast Augmentation Results
Want to see results that speak for themselves? We have a gallery full of before-and-after images that show the kind of change Dr. Blackburn and Dr. Whitney plan for. With each case, you can see a natural addition in volume, improved projection, and better symmetry, sized to the patient’s frame rather than a one-size silhouette.
“I highly recommend Dr. Blackburn and staff. I cannot say enough about the professionalism, thoroughness, and kindness I received throughout the entire process of my reconstruction. Awesome team, wonderful results, caring atmosphere. I am very grateful!”
—Katie, 5-Star Review

Meet Our Surgeons
Plastic Surgery Bellingham has served patients in Bellingham since 2004. The practice is led by two board-certified plastic surgeons who each have decades of plastic and cosmetic surgery experience.
Breast Augmentation Cost and Payment
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure and is not typically covered by health insurance. Total case cost varies based on implant type, surgical complexity, anesthesia time, and any combined procedures. The exact figure for your case is provided during the consultation, including all preparatory work, so there are no surprises.
Our front desk at Plastic Surgery Bellingham will review payment options with you before surgery is scheduled, and many patients choose to use a personal credit card or their own financing.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Good candidates for breast augmentation share a few patterns:
- In good general health, with no active conditions that complicate surgery or anesthesia
- Realistic expectations about what augmentation can and cannot change
- Non-smoker, or willing to pause smoking before surgery and through the early recovery window
- Done with breastfeeding (or comfortable with the implications of augmentation before future childbearing)
- Wanting volume change rather than position change — patients whose primary concern is sagging tissue are typically better candidates for a breast lift or a combined lift-and-augmentation plan
The consultation confirms candidacy and walks through the plan that fits your specific case.
What to Expect at Plastic Surgery Bellingham
Combining Breast
Lift With Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation adds volume. It does not lift breast position or correct significant sagging. Patients who want both more volume and better position typically need a breast lift (mastopexy) combined with augmentation. The combined procedure addresses size and shape together, in a single recovery rather than two.
Dr. Blackburn and Dr. Whitney perform both procedures and can plan them as one case when that is the right call.
