To think about having breast augmentation surgery is not unusual as most women are concerned about their appearance. Enhancing breast size and shape can make a great difference to your overall physical appearance and boost your self-confidence. But there are some important things you need to think about when considering breast enlargement surgery.

Breast Augmentation Surgery - Things to Consider

Consider the following points before cosmetic breast surgery:

• Is breast enhancement surgery right for me?


Choosing to have an augmentation procedure is the right option if

o You have lost breast volume due to pregnancy or excessive dieting
o Are unhappy with your breasts
o Have asymmetrical breasts
o Have sagging breasts

Breast augmentation can increase breast volume, make you look more feminine, and increase your self-confidence.


• Where will I have my breast enhancement surgery?


Once you have decided to have a breast augmentation procedure, locate a plastic surgery practice that is accredited by the AAAASF (American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgery) with qualified and experienced plastic surgeons. The right plastic surgeon will explain the benefits of this surgery at your initial consultation and recommend the right procedure. Reliable surgical centers offer two effective procedures - breast enlargement using implants and fat transfer breast augmentation surgery. Your surgeon will advise you on the right option based on your cosmetic goals and physical considerations.


• Can I see before and after photos of the breast enlargement surgery done here?


Reputable surgical centers allow their potential patients to look at the before and after photos of other breast enhancement surgeries they have performed. This will allow you to analyze the surgeon's skill and experience, though you should remember that results can vary between individuals.


• What types of implants do they use?


Two types of implants generally used: saline filled and silicone-gel filled. Both types are FDA approved and come with a strong silicone shell. Silicon-gel implants look and feel more natural. Implants of various sizes and shapes are available to fit any body type. Incision sites differ and your surgeon will decide on the incision site that is most suitable for you.


• Breast enhancement surgery via fat transfer


In the fat transfer for breast enlargement procedure, excess fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs is removed through liposuction, purified and injected into breasts to enhance size. Implant risks are avoided and the outcome is also more natural looking.


• How long will recovery take?


The recovery time is minimal. You can return to your normal physical activities in few days.

It's highly advisable that you read up on the procedure from reliable plastic surgery websites when you are considering breast enlargement surgery. Make sure you locate an expert plastic surgeon to ensure your safety and minimize risks and complications. Follow the instructions of your surgeon for the best results.
