How Breast Implants Affect Self Image

When a woman undergoes breast augmentation with implants, she will undergo a change in her self esteem. Every time a person has an alteration in their physical appearance, whether as a result of plastic surgery or from natural causes, they must incorporate the change into their psyche. This is true of both positive and negative alterations.

If an individual decides to go under the scalpel on their own volition, they will most likely have an array of emotional stages to go through. If they have been troubled by a flaw in their appearance, as in the case of an unsightly facial or body part issue, they may feel anticipatory and excited. High expectations may cause them to feel elated and happy. After the surgery, they may feel relieved and pleased with their new shape. But this isn’t always the end of the story.

There are also psychological stages that aren’t always expected. First of all, a person must get used to a “new me.” Even physical features that aren’t favorable are still familiar. Fuller breasts may feel unfamiliar and even like someone else’s body. There may be guilt over the pricetag or about altering what Mother Nature has given them. If these unexpected feelings occur, however, they are usually short lived. In a matter of weeks, it will seem that this lovely ample bustline was always there. An increased self image and esteem results becomes firmly established. Many women who receive breast implants report a greater quality of life thereafter.

Change The Shape Of Your Life

If you're looking to get the ideal shape you've always wanted, without the recovery time associated with traditional liposuction, Cool Sculpting may be for you.

Can you imagine getting body contouring procedures without having to go under the knife? There’s an option out there for those looking for a less invasive alternative to liposuction, called Cool Sculpting. It uses controlled cooling to selectively damage fat cells, thereby changing the shape of your body. Once the fat cells are damaged the body can get rid of them naturally. Cool Sculpting was recently approved by the FDA, and has been growing in popularity around the nation.

The patient is awake for the entire procedure and can even do things such as read, work on a laptop, or just relax. Once the procedure is over, most patients will be able to resume their daily activities immediately with only minor redness and bruising. The procedure only lasts about 60 minutes, making it a perfect way to spend your lunch hour. The risks are pretty minimal and minor bruising is the major side effect.

Cool Sculpting is ideal for people who are close to their target weight but just have a few problem areas. For more invasive and larger areas, liposuction is still recommended. Cool Sculpting will allow the patient to lose a few inches in one procedure.

The results are not immediately seen, in fact the best results will be seen around two to three months after the procedure. Cool Sculpting allows for a gradual reduction of the fact. The full results may take up to four months before becoming evident. This procedure is great for losing a few inches, and a wonderful option for those that would prefer to go the non- surgical route. However, if you are looking for dramatic results, your best bet is still traditional liposuction.
