Breast Augmentation & Breast Implants
Breast Augmentation & Breast Enlargement
Breast augmentation has become one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures to date. According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, silicone implant surgeries were up by 18 percent in 2006. This is attributed to the FDA’s approval of silicone breast implants in 2006.
Breast augmentation surgery is now the top surgical procedure for women.
Breast augmentation surgery and cosmetic surgery as a whole has significantly progressed during the past few decades, which has improved safety and effectiveness. Breast implants typically use saline; however, due to recent FDA approval of silicone, more patients are opting for silicone breast implants. During the procedure, breast implants are surgically implanted to increase breast size and enhance the shape of the breasts. Surgeons can use several different techniques to accomplish this goal and should discuss the details of your procedure during your confidential consultation prior to surgery.
Because of increased safety and effectiveness and increased acceptance of cosmetic surgery as a whole, more and more people are choosing breast augmentation. Although some stigma associated with breast implants still exists, it is well known that the typical breast augmentation patient is a woman in her mid-thirties who is in a long term relationship and has had children. The average breast augmentation patient has also considered the treatment for several years. Most patients who choose to have breast implants simply want to return to their appearance prior to pregnancy, weight fluctuation or nursing. Many breast augmentation patients also choose to have liposuction or a face lift to enhance their overall results even further.
Breast augmentation and breast implants are a good option for individuals who are self-conscious about their breasts. The result of a successful breast augmentation is not just aesthetic. The procedure can also make a significant change in a person’s self esteem and confidence. However, patients should go into surgery with realistic expectations and not expect for the surgery to be the answer to all of their problems. A good, in-depth consultation with a qualified and trained cosmetic surgeon should provide all of the answers to your questions and also give you a realistic idea of your surgical outcome.
