Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentations are
now safer then ever, with fewer complications and more desirable
results. Even the slow economy has not deterred individuals
from enhancing their bodily shape, seeking breast augmentations
for various reasons. Most women wish to have a breast augmentation
because they are unhappy with their natural breast size, have
experienced a diminished breast size after giving birth, or
would like to better proportion their breasts with the rest
of their body. Although a high number of breast augmentations
are safely performed every day, it is still important to fully
assess the risks and benefits of any surgical procedure.
The greatest risk of breast augmentation
complication can include implant infection, implant leakage,
capsular contracture, implant rippling, implant malposition,
and hematoma. Choosing a qualified plastic surgeon to perform
the breast augmentation is perhaps the most important aspect
of the surgical procedure. An experienced and well-educated
plastic surgeon is able to best assess the individual conditions
of the breast augmentation candidate to evaluate any potential
risks and ways to best achieve the aesthetic goals of that
candidate.
Some breast augmentation surgeons
are now allowing patients to view an extensive photo library
that contains all different body shapes and sizes so that
patients can best match up the photos with representations
to more closely decide what size breasts they desire. This
is just one way breast augmentation surgeons are able to best
determine exactly what a patient wants and decrease the need
to make an future adjustments or additional surgeries. The
implant itself has been, and continues to be very safe, backed
by over 30 years of clinical experience, however breast augmentation
patients must understand realistic expectations of what a
breast augmentation can provide.
The growing acceptance of cosmetic plastic
surgery procedures, such as breast augmentation has allowed
candidates of all classifications to benefit from breast augmentations.
The results of a breast augmentation can make an enormous
positive change in an individual, regardless of the size.
It is important to undergo a breast augmentation for the right
motivations and a successful and skilled surgeon will be able
to determine this prior to scheduling the surgery in the consultation
and meetings designed to evaluate the individual.
A breast augmentation candidate should be
as honest and open with the surgeon as possible. Providing
as much information will assist the surgeon in making your
surgical experience as desirable as possible, in addition
to avoiding any potential risk of complication. The breast
augmentation candidate should feel completely comfortable
with the plastic surgeon and should never feel like any questions
are unanswered or that there is pressure put on them.
If any level of discomfort with the surgeon
is present by the time the breast augmentation surgery is
scheduled a patient may wish to wait until they feel totally
confident. If the surgeon is reputable he/she will be able
to recognize when a patient is not fully comfortable with
proceeding with the breast augmentation and will take steps
to better help the patient decide what is ultimately right
for them. Please contact us if you would like more information
