There Are Emotional Benifits From Breast Augmentation

Every woman who considers breast augmentation has her own personal reasons. Some include enlarging the breasts to make the body more proportional, reshaping and enlarging breasts that have lost their shape due to breast-feeding or age, balancing the appearance of breasts that differ in size or shape.

Many women experience emotional benefits from breast augmentation such as enhanced self-esteem, a more satisfying body image and a renewed sense of enthusiasm.

No two patients are the same, so each procedure will be individualized to your breast augmentation for you and your body. There is no one implant-type or type of augmentation that is best for all patients, Just like there is not one type of house or car that best suit everyone.

The key is to match the correct implant to each patient's breast dimensions and soft tissues. This philosophy strives to produce long-term results with low re-operation and complication rates. Many surgeons believes that recovery post-surgery and re-operation rates are the most important factors correlating to the quality of the procedure.

Though breast augmentation can achieve many different goals, your decision/desires are a very personal matter and will be a focus of your visit with your surgeon during your consultation. It is important to get all your questions answered during this consultation so it is suggested that you write your important questions down for your surgeon to answer.

What is breast augmentation? An outpatient operation that improves and increases the size and shape of your breast by inserting a Saline (salt-water) implant.

What does it accomplish? It enhances the breast size and contour, and may give your body a more harmonious balance. It can also correct and dramatically improve breast/body proportion and balance after pregnancy.

The breast is composed of fatty, glandular and fibrous tissues. Within the breasts are blood vessels, milk ducts, fat glands and sensory nerves, and beneath it is a large muscle called the pectoralis major.

The size and shape of women's breasts vary greatly and may be affected by factors such as age, past pregnancies, genetics and skin elasticity. Some women have a variation in size or shape from right to left which is called asymmetry. Most saline implants are placed below the pectoralis major while the silicone implants can be placed above or below the muscle.

During the consultation your surgeon will evaluate your general health, and take measurements of your breasts. He will explain which surgical techniques are most appropriate, based on the condition of your breasts and skin tone. Your surgeon will describe alternatives and risks and limitations of each as well as review the recommended pre and post operative course with you.

You will have the opportunity to view pre and post op pictures, and discuss in detail what size you would like to be. Your surgeon will show you objective and scientific methods to determine the correct implant size and type for your breast tissues and body.

At the end of the consultation, you will have pictures taken. These are for your medical record to assist your surgeon to give you an optimal result.

Surgeons prefers to do breast augmentation in the outpatient surgery center using a board certified anesthesiologist.

Although there are cheaper methods and places to do this type of surgery, many surgeons feels that patient safety is of utmost importance and this is best provided in this setting.Furthermore, this optimizes patient comfort and allows your best result.

The method of inserting and positioning your implant will depend on your chest size and shape and surgeons' recommendation. The incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest (breast fold) or around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or in the axilla (armpit).

Every effort will be made to assure that the incision is placed so resulting scars will be as small as possible.

Working through the incision will lift your breast tissue (using only precise dissection and no blunt dissection to minimize post-operative pain and edema) to make a pocket, either directly behind your breast tissue or underneath your chest wall muscle (the pectoral muscle). The implants are then centered beneath your nipples.
