Breast Augmenation

Breast augmentation using either saline breast implants or silicone breast implants is one of the most commonly requested aesthetic plastic surgery operations.  Breast augmentation can enhance your looks and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your appearance to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently.  However, when you have a higher self esteem, you project a better personality and will be treated better.

Breast augmentation is an operation to enlarge, or change the shape of a woman’s breasts.  Breast augmentation surgery is most commonly performed on women who are born with the genetic make-up leading to the development of small breasts.

Breast augmentation surgery usually requires one to two hours to complete.  Breast augmentation surgery can be performed on an outpatient (in the plastic surgeon’s office or anyway not in a hospital) basis or in a hospital.   Breast augmentations can range from $3,000 to $9,000 in costs depending on the aforementioned factors and which city you live in as well as the cosmetic surgeon you select.

Breast augmentation surgery stretches the breast tissue and, therefore, can be painful especially in those breast augmentation cases where the implants have been placed under the chest muscle.  Breast augmentation surgery is usually quite successful at making the breasts larger and fuller.  Breast augmentation can also be used to achieve symmetry in women with shape or size differences in their breasts.  Breast Augmentation typically does not interfere with a woman’s ability to breast-feed.

Slicone Implants

Both Silicone and saline implants will have the similar appearance, however silicone implants will potentially feel more natural, last longer, and have less risk of feeling the implant and showing rippling.  Silicone (spelled with an e at the end) the polymer is made from silicon (spelled with no e) the element.  Silicone is used in a huge variety of common household products, such as soap, hairspray, hand lotion, and processed foods.  After getting a bad rap Silicone implants were determined to be medically safe, and the  Silicone gel breast implants were approved by FDA for use in all breast augmentation operations.

Saline Implants

On the other hand, saline implants, being empty and folded up, can be inserted from the TUBA incision (Trans-Umbilical Breast Augmentation), where again, the scar will be hardly visible.  However, they look slightly less natural and saline implants are susceptible to rippling.

Consultation

During your initial consultation with your local plastic surgeon, you will be encouraged to discuss your desires, fears, expectations, and goals.  Most reputable plastic surgeons offer free consultations and advice on type and style of breast implants that would suit your body best.  During your consultation, your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for implant and incision placement to yield the best results.

Additional issues discussed during the consultation visit should include an overview of all the costs associated with breast augmentation surgery (these include the operating room costs, anesthesia, nurses and any other costs) as well as how many days you’ll be off work.  Searching for high quality cosmetic surgeons to perform your breast augmentation procedure is a difficult and time-consuming task.  Pay what it takes for safe breast augmentation.

Results

A woman’s breast augmentation experience and implant results will depend heavily on a number of factors.  The first and most important step to ensuring positive breast implant results is to select your cosmetic surgeon carefully.  Be sure you are well-informed about all of your options, and choose the implant that will help you best achieve the breast implant results you want.  Today, most women enjoy the benefits of breast augmentation  experience with good results that look and feel natural.

Conclusion

Since the advent of breast augmentation surgery in the 1960s, millions of women have enhanced their bodies with silicone and saline implants.  By now, breast augmentation has become one of the most commonly performed cosmetic plastic surgical procedures.  The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look.
