Are Your Considering Breast Augmentation?

Are you considering breast augmentation? Thinking that it’s time for those breast implants? Maybe things are starting to sag? Perhaps you’ve decide your body image could use a bit of a boost. What ever your reason breast augmentation has improved things for many women – both physically and emotionally.

Mammoplasty is the “official” name for breast augmentation. Your surgeon will have a consultation with you to determine what type of breast implants and the size of the implants that would be best for your body size.

The implants are placed under the breast tissue and beneath the chest wall muscle. You will usually have the incision in the crease under your breast or under your nipple. Sometimes the belly button is used and sometimes the armpit. This will be between you and your surgeon to decide.

With breast implants, the sack is filled with saline to reach the cup size and shape that’s wanted. Rather than being measured by cup sizes, ccs are used to get a precise sizing system. Recently, silicone gels have come to market to offer another interesting option for you.

The surgery takes anywhere from one to three hours to complete, and your recovery times is short. Generally, you’ll be able to return to work within a week unless your job is of a strenuous nature. Almost all women that have breast augmentation will tell you that it was a life enhancing experience that boosted their physical appearance and their self-esteem.

For more information on breast augmentation, you should make an appointment with a plastic surgeon in your area.
