Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a type of plastic surgery performed on women to increase the size and shape of breasts. Breast augmentation is the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery in the US, according to the “American society of plastic surgery”. 329,000 breast augmentation surgeries were performed in US during the year 2006. Young and healthy women from higher socio-economic status, normally opt for breast augmentation surgery to retain their femininity.

Breast augmentation has been performed since 1895 to reshape damaged, small, uneven or sagging breasts. These surgeries help women to improve body image and high self esteem. There are two types of breast implants, namely saline and silicone implant. These implants differ in texture, size, shape and diameter. Saline implant is considered as a safer choice by many women since salt water is harmless. Even if the implant ruptures due to any reason, it drains harmlessly and quickly into the body. It is very difficult to determine the rupture in silicon implants. You should consult the plastic surgeon to decide the best implant based on your anatomy. The amount of body fat is also a deciding factor while choosing the type of implants.

Silicon gel is used in silicon implant. FDA approved silicon implants in 2006, after labeling it as unsafe for 14 years. Silicon implant gives a natural feeling of the product. It does not slosh unlike the saline. It increases your self esteem since the breasts are less likely to sag. You will be having attractive breasts and you will not be teased anymore. It increases your self confidence and you will not ashamed to meet any group of people.

Now you have to decide the locations of incisions for placing the implants. Common incision points are armpits, between the breast, under the breast and occasionally the naval. The size and placement of the implants greatly influence the incisions. Breast augmentation normally takes one to two hours to complete the procedure depending on the kind of implant material and its placement. Like any other surgery, patients may experience bleeding, scarring and infection. These are normal and can be cured with proper medical attention.

The actual procedure requires minimal invasiveness and less recovery time. You can even return to your work or school within a week, depending on the level of activity required. Less breast cancer is seen amongst patients who have undergone breast augmentation. The cost of breast augmentation varies form states to states, like the variation in real estate prices. You should always choose a board certified cosmetic surgeon for breast augmentation. It is better to check his feed backs and experience in this field of surgery.

Smoking is prohibited one month prior to the surgery. Smoking and strenuous activities are discouraged during the first two weeks after the surgery. Always remember that attractive breasts are the appealing outcome of these cosmetic surgeries. Breasts are an iconic part of the ensemble whether clothed or otherwise. Properly sized and shaped breasts are very appealing to the opposite sex and glorify the extremes of beauty and sensuality.
