subject: Here Are The Key Elements And Advantages Of Breast Augmentation Surgery [print this page] If you want to change the size, shape, or look of your breasts, and exercise is not an option, then breast augmentation could be the answer for you. Maybe age has induced a case of "gravitational pull," or you wish you had more than a small handful to fill your bras with. Many women no longer feel feminine because of their current breast situation and are looking for implants to help them to feel that way again.
Once you've found a reputable surgeon, the next step will be to talk about what kind of surgery you'd like to improve your breasts. You and your surgeon may decide that a breast lift should be performed at the same time as the augmentation. This coupled treatment is most commonly used on women whose breasts have begun to sag over the years or due to child birth.
Implants are either placed underneath the tissue of the breast or over the muscle. There are 4 primary locations for the incision to be made and this along with the implant size, shape, and material will have been discussed and agreed upon prior to surgery.
The option of silicone or saline implants is up to the patient to decide after they've done proper research and discussed both options with their surgeon. Once you've come to a decision, you'll be discussing it with your doctor.
Your breasts may seem unsightly at first, being sore and bruised because they're healing from the surgery, but don't be alarmed. This is perfectly natural as the surgery is invasive. For the first few days, you'll be taking some medication for pain and you should look into having a surgical bra to wear during this time.
Heavy lifting should be avoided for a few weeks, but a patient can usually return to work after about a week. You may feel numb around your nipples for a while, but everything should return to normal over time. Scarring is minimal and usually unnoticeable.
