You know that you want to have breast augmentation
. You are tingling at the thought of having the operation and how it will improve your look. You have defined your primary goal for wanting the procedure. Now it is time to do a little more work before you can say definitively that this is the cosmetic operation that is suitable for you at this point in time.
What needs to be determined is whether you are a good candidate for breast augmentation. Talk with your family doctor about what you wish to do and get his perspective on it. Discuss the benefits and the risks. You also must discuss your medical history. It is essential that you are healthy enough to go through with the surgical procedure and to heal properly following it. Put safety first when it comes to getting implants. Safety should always matter in the case of any operation you are contemplating!
Once your doctor has given you the okay to have breast augmentation surgery, put your research skills to work. You need to be as informed and as educated as you can possibly be when it comes to breast enhancement. Find ways to make connections with other patients who have had implants. Look for people online and off who are willing to tell you about their experiences.
Use the Internet as a helpful resource. Search cosmetic surgery sites to find photos of breast implants. When perusing pictures of patients who have undergone breast augmentation, keep in mind your weight, height and the type of build that you have. This makes a difference to the type of enhancement you decide to have. You want it to suit your frame. The final result needs to make you look proportional.
In particular, find photos of women who are similar in shape and size to you. Look at their before and after pictures. Examine them as closely as possible. Jot down the information relevant to the women who most closely resemble your body shape and weight distribution. This would include the cup size, the after size and the implant size of choice. You might even wish to focus in on the patients who are closest to your age.
The next step in your research process is to search for a plastic surgeon that is board-certified. If you go online, you can search through plastic surgery directories and search for surgeons according to state or city. As you go about this, look for reviews that patients have written about various doctors. It would also be wise to view before and after breast augmentation photos. This will give you a good indication of the kind of work that the doctor does. From there you can start making calls to your preferred cosmetic surgeons' offices.
