Enhancing and Augmenting Breasts With Plastic Surgery

By Andrew W Johns

Women have breast augmentation for an array of reasons. For some it may be she wants to be more endowed, she feels that their breast aren't symmetrical, or just that they are the wrong shape for her. Whatever the reason, it can be a call for attention for women to consider the surgery. The most common reason is a lack of confidence. Having breasts or other body parts she is dislikes can damage th way she sees herself. Breast cancer survivors also have the augmentation surgery after having the damaged tissue removed during treatment. The results are almost universally a boon to the happiness and look of the patient.

Modern implants are more expensive than they were before. However, the different shapes and sizes allow women to custom the look that will suit them. The woman receiving the implants must consider the shape that she wishes to see after surgery and she must share this with her surgeon.

There are three possibilities for the site of the incision for the breast augmentation surgery. This is something the woman should consider when she is thinking about the procedure. One site the implant can be inserted is where the meets the chest under the breast. This leaves a small scar that is hidden easily by the location. Another place for the incision is where the areola meets the skin of the breast. A pocket is made that holds the implant. The implant is inserted underneath the muscle. Alternately, the surgeon can make an axillary incision at the armpit. This is a slightly more difficult way for the surgeon, because there is a farther distance the surgeon must move the implant.

Considering what the breasts will look like after the surgery is extremely important and must be considered by the patient. What is the desired effect, a curvy shape, or a streamlined look? Honesty with herself and the doctor is a must in order to get the desired results.

Keep in mind that the same implants will look different on different women. The best advice on which to choose will come from your plastic surgeon.

Before undergoing the breast augmentation, you must discuss all of this with your surgeon. There are many qualified surgeons in the United States to choose as your doctor for the procedure. A little time spent researching will help you find the right doctor for you. - 30516
