subject: Breast Augmentation Surgey And Risks [print this page] How you feel about your body is importantHow you feel about your body is important. Diet, exercise and a healthy perception are important. A person can even find that they have lost weight in their body only to find that their breasts are not the same shape and size as before. Nothing can be done to regain that youthful look non surgically. Breast augmentation might be the way to go.
Some woman find that after having a baby their breast shape changes and they may even sag. There are a few things to consider. If you are considering a surgery you are not a candidate if you are not done having children, breastfeeding, and if you are not at a healthy weight. All of the circumstances listed lead to a change in the breast. If you gain or lose weight you gain or lose it in your breasts too. If you gain and lose after having a procedure done you could very well change the appearance.
Some woman find the consultation to be quite overwhelming. You will want to be prepared to be candid. Your surgeon will want to discuss openly what size you hope to be, and may need to measure your breasts size now. They may even need to take photos for the insurance company. You will want to discuss your expectations and will be asked to answer questions about when you finished nursing your last baby, and if you think you might want more children. If you are lactating they will give you instructions about how long to wait after weaning baby. If you are not done having children they may want you to wait on having the surgery.
A discussion about your implant options will help you choose between saline and silicone. Breast augmentation clients prefer the natural look and feel of silicone. Your doctor will discuss the benefits and risks of each type of implant. For instance Saline is just sterile water. If an implant bursts it will be reabsorbed by the body. The downside to saline is when it bursts it deflates like a balloon and is noticeable. A silicone implant may burst and you won't know it. This can be unhealthy of course and this will be discussed with you. They may want to monitor you for rupture throughout the life of the implant.
With the risks and benefits weighed you and your doctor will come to a decision. Breast augmentation certainly has a place and can be a gratifying choice. This procedure improves a woman's appearance, and how she feels about herself. This procedure is even in place to help woman who would like reconstructive surgery.
