Considering Breast Augmentation Surgery For You

Many women find that their bodies never quite return to normal after pregnancy. You may be one of those women finding yourself three children down the road and wondering which one ruined your body. Perhaps you even had large fluctuations in weight and recently got back to your desired size. No matter the circumstance, many women consider breast augmentation surgery as a way to restore or enhance what they have. You will want to meet with a surgeon to discuss the procedure, your expectations, and if you are indeed a candidate for the surgery.

So what does a good candidate look like? Well, someone at a healthy weight that they can maintain is ideal. If you recently lost eighty pounds it might be a good idea to see how long you can sustain that weight. Fluctuations can change the results of your surgery. A patient who is done having children and nursing may be a good candidate. If you are not sure, it is better to wait. Your surgeon will want to discuss the two main types of implants used for breast augmentation today.

Silicone has been given a bad name. Silicone is present in both types of implants. The other option is a silicone outer with saline solution inside. Saline is available to patients eighteen and over. There are pros and cons to both options. With saline, if it leaks you will notice a deflated breast. The saline is not harmful, but you will have to repair the damage by replacing the implants or removing them. If a silicone implant leaks, you may not be able to tell. Mammograms are recommended so that a leak doesn't go undetected. You and your surgeon will decide if you should remove, replace, or just leave the implant alone and monitor it.

Your surgeon will be a great resource for information about how the procedure will occur and what types of incisions they will do on you. The incision is done in a way that won't show noticeable scarring. Incisions are done under the breast, the underarm, and around the nipples. Your surgeon will choose the site that best suits your desired size, your comfort and their preference. You should be open and honest with your surgeon about the size you want to be. You want this to come out the way you are picturing, and you want an accurate picture of whether that can happen. You should choose a professional experienced in performing breast augmentation surgery. Remember to choose someone you are comfortable with.
