Breast Augmentations---an Overview
It is estimated that over two million people will undergo cosmetic surgery this year
, and the majority of the procedures performed will be breast augmentations. There are many things you need to know if you are considering having implants placed, and numerous decisions to make. Read on for more information on this fantastic operation.
To begin planning your surgery, you must decide what size you wish to become. Wearing a stuffed bra in the size you are considering is helpful in determining if your lifestyle would accommodate such changes. Your cosmetic surgeon will be of great help in your decision-making process, particularly with regard to sizing.
Next, you will be advised to research which type of implant you will have placed during your breast augmentation. Though saline is the most common, silicone has also been proven time and again to be safe. The newest option available for implants is called the gummy bear implant, or more scientifically, the cohesive gel implant. A discussion with your surgeon will help you determine which type of implant will produce the end result you desire.
Finally, there are four different incision sites from which to choose from. The most common entry site is the areola incision. This process involves inserting the implant through the areola. Also common is the inframammary fold, or crease incision, by which the implant is placed from under the natural crease underneath the breast. The transaxillary incision involves feeding the deflated saline implant through an incision under the arm, then filling it upon placement. Finally, using much the same method as the transaxillary technique is the TUBA, or naval entry site.
Finally, implant placement areas must be chosen. Submuscular placement indicates the implant has been fixed behind the chest wall muscles and subglandular means that the implant is over the chest muscles.
Good candidates for breast augmentations are those who are not satisfied with their current bust size, or those who wish to create a more curvaceous contour to their upper body. Cancer survivors who have undergone a mastectomy are very fitting candidates for breast augmentations. Also included are patients dissatisfied with their shape or those who are disproportionate in a way that can be corrected with the addition of implants.
Breast augmentations are considered to be very safe and extremely effective, touting an unprecedented satisfaction rate among patients. For more information on whether you are a good candidate for a breast augmentation, contact your cosmetic surgeon today.
