Breast Enhancement And Pre Operation Assessment

The importance of a pre-operation assessment prior to breast enhancement surgery is well recognized

. In order to determine an individual's suitability for enhancement, a board certified surgeon will perform a comprehensive breast exam during a pre-surgical consultation. Additionally, the surgeon will discuss the individual's breast history regarding previous surgery, family history, possible medical predispositions and mammography screening results to optimize safety during the procedure. With this information, the surgeon will be able to customize the enhancement surgery based on the individual's health and condition of breast tissue.

The personal preferences of the individual discussed during the assessment will also help the surgeon to determine the appropriate type of implant, intended breast size, location of incisions and placement of the implants. A variety of safe breast implants are available based on type, size, shape, texture and projection, so a pre-operative assessment can help an individual choose an implant which best meets their aesthetic requirements.

Women can choose between silicone-gel and saline filled implants, which are both approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Both these types of implants have their own sets of advantages and disadvantages. While silicone breast implants have a greater aesthetic appeal, saline implants are considered to be among the safer forms of breast implants. It is best to discuss which option is a better choice with the surgeon during the pre-surgical assessment.

The surgeon will also be able to carry out a bio-dimensional assessment which will help the individual to choose an implant size based on their physical proportions. This ensures that aesthetic desires are met without any detrimental health effects. Breast implants can be inserted through several different incision sites - under the breast, around the nipple, or in the armpit. The surgeon can help to determine which incision will cause the least scarring. Finally, the surgeon will be able to recommend the best placement of the breast implant depending on the individual's lifestyle and chest muscle volume.

In some cases, due to breast sagging, the patient may merit a breast lift. This can be recommended by the surgeon in addition to the breast implants. The type of implant, whether smooth or textured, round or anatomic, also needs to be decided upon. It is best to keep the doctor in the loop about any medications, vitamins, supplements, colds, or other issues such as a history of reaction to sedation that may affect the patients ability to undergo the enhancement procedure.

The pre-operation assessment can aid the surgeon in preparing for the enhancement surgery as well as help the individual prepare for the procedure. During the consultation, the individual can express any concerns that they may have or question the surgeon about the cost of the surgery as well as

financing options. The assessment also helps to boost the rapport between the surgeon and the patient. A pre-operative consultancy is also the best insurance in achieving the most natural and pleasing end results from the enhancement surgery.
