The best candidates for Breast
Augmentation are women who are looking for improvement
in the way they look. If you are physically healthy
and realistic in yourexpectations, you may be a
good candidate for Breast Augmentation.
Types of implants
A breast implant is a
silicone shell filled with either silicone gel or a
salt-water solution known as Saline.
Anesthesia
Breast Augmentation
can be performed with general Anesthesia, so you
will sleep through the entire operation.
Surgery
The method of inserting and
positioning your implant will depend mainly on your
Anatomy. The incision is usually made either in the
crease where the breast meets the chest or around
the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple. If
there is some skin laxity, usually resulting from
previous pregnancies, additional incisions may be
necessary. Therefore, a Breast lift procedure may be
combined with Breast Augmentation in order to
obtain the best results.
Every effort will be made to
assure that the incisions are placed so resulting
scars will be as inconspicuous as possible.
Working through the incision, your breast tissue and
skin is lifted to create a pocket, usually directly
behind the breast tissue or in some cases,
underneath your chest wall muscle
(the Pectoral Muscle). The implants are then
centered beneath your nipples.
The surgery usually takes one to two hours to
complete. Stitches are used to close the incisions,
which may also be taped for greater support. A
bandage may be applied over your breasts to help
with healing.
Your new Appearance:
For many women, the result of
Breast Augmentation can be satisfying, even
exhilarating, as they learn to appreciate their
fuller appearance.
Your decision to have Breast Augmentation is a
highly personal one that not everyone may
understand. The important thing is how you feel
about it. If you have met your goals, then your
surgery is a success.
Once you appreciate the enhanced look in new
garments or the better appearance in your existing
wardrobe, you will surely be satisfied with your
surgery.
