subject: 4 Questions You Should Ask Before Your Breast Enlargement [print this page] Breast enlargement has made lots of women happy over the years. It can boost your bust and give you the chest you've always wanted. And, it's easier and cheaper than ever before. If you're thinking about getting breast enlargement surgery, here are the 4 big questions you need to ask your doctor at the consultation.
Am I A Good Candidate?
Most women who are in good health are perfect candidates for breast enlargement, but you should talk to your doctor first just in case. Tell them all about your medical history, any allergies you have, and anything else that might be important. Although women of any age can have work done, it carries a higher risk of complications for older women. Smokers and heavy drinkers also have a higher risk of complications from surgery.
Which Are Better-Saline Or Silicone Implants?
This is a major area of debate for women and doctors. The truth is that both saline and silicone have their pros and cons. Generally speaking, silicone gives you a more natural feel.
The gel used feels more like natural breast tissue. Even though silicone is safe, there is a small risk of ruptures, and this has turned many women off. Saline doesn't feel as natural, but it is considered safer by doctors.
When you're discussing it with your doctor, they'll have sample implants for you to squeeze. Check these out and see which one feels best for you. Implant technology is always improving, so talk your doctor about the risks involved in using silicone. Most medical professionals now consider them just as safe as saline.
What Other Options Are There?
There are also new options for implants. A new implant technology allows you to use fatty tissue from other parts of the body for your implants. This means that you can take the extra you don't want from the hips or behind, and put it where you want it on your chest. There are other alternatives as well, so talk to your plastic surgeon and see what options they offer.
What's The Recovery Like?
Like any surgery, there will be a recovery period. Most complications occur during the recovery period. You should have your doctor lay it all out for you in detail so that you know exactly what to expect. You'll need to make sure your scars heal properly in order for your surgery to be a success.
Is it right for you? Talk it over with your doctor and see if it sounds like the way to get the body you want. Once you get all your questions answered, you'll know if it's the thing for you.
