Breast Augmentation

More and more women who are unsatisfied with their breast size are seeking enhancement options with cosmetic surgery procedures. A breast augmentation surgery can increase the size of your breasts through the insertion of either silicon or saline implants. There are a variety of breast implant options available to you that will make a difference in the cost of the procedure. Your cosmetic surgeon will look at your body type, the desired cup size that you want after surgery, and the look or shape that you want to achieve before he or she recommends which type implant would best suit you.

Your cosmetic surgeon will help you to understand what the realistic results will be and help you to choose a shape and size that will be perfect for you stature and safe as well. Your surgeon will also explain the types of implants, the textures, how each will affect your surgery as well as the pros and cons associated with each. You will wear fake inserts in your bra before your surgery so that you can adjust to the look and weight of your breasts.

Your breast augmentation surgery is normally done on an outpatient basis and will normally last between 1-2 hours if you aren't having any other procedures combined with this surgery and there are no complications.

Possible Side Effects

• Bruising

• Soreness

• Swelling

• Skin wrinkling

• Change in nipple sensation which is normally only temporary

• Excessive breast sensitivity which is also normally only temporary

The affects of this surgery normally are long lasting unless you become pregnant or fluctuate in your weight a lot, aging may also create the need for your implants to be replaced.

After Surgery

• Week one-you will wear a position/supporting bra home and after your 3rd day home if your job isn't too physically demanding you can return to work.

• Week two - your stitches will be removed.

Breast augmentation is generally a less invasive plastic surgery procedure so you can combine other cosmetic procedures at the same time.
