Breast Augmentation


Breast surgeries are quite common cosmetic procedures these days and among them the most common one is breast augmentation. This procedure is extremely beneficial for the women who have small and under developed breasts that not only affect your physical appearance but also have emotional and psychological affects. As a result of breast augmentation surgery, you get youthful shape and appearance of breasts. But it is also the fact that before opting for procedure, one needs to get answers to a number of questions associated with the procedure and its outcomes and benefits and risks.
Breast augmentation surgery is done by inserting implants in the breasts. Implants are the devices that are mostly filled with either saline solution or silicone gel, covered by silicone shell and are inserted in the breasts through incisions. The procedure is a surgical procedure and incisions are made during the procedure that require some time for healing. Most of the women consider the procedure of breast augmentation a complicated one causing serious side effects. This is a surgical procedure but it does not cause any severe harm or side effects if you select an experienced cosmetic surgeon for the surgery.
It is also an important and common question in mind of a number of women that how the breasts will look like after the procedure? Will their shape be suitable or not? The answers to these questions vary from women to women because the amount of improvement required varies from women to women and the final look depends on the alterations made. But if suitable changes are made to your breasts, they will certainly improve your physical appearance and will make your breasts more youthful and firmer.
The look of breasts depends on the size and shape of implant selected. There are various sizes and shapes of implants available. Your surgeon will examine you and you can also discuss about the desired size and shape of breasts. After proper examination and knowing about the changes that you desire in your breasts, the suitable size and shape of implants is selected. Implants can be inserted either under the breast tissues on pectoral muscles or below the pectoral muscles. Their placement depends on you and your surgeon’s decision but it also depends on the size of implant used and placement of implant in correct position will obviously improve the results.

For those women who are worried about the appearance of their breasts after inserting implants, here are some important facts. Implants will no doubt improve the look of your breasts but if you are planning to get pregnant in few months, you should delay the decision of getting implants for some period of time. This is because pregnancy – whether you breastfeed or not – may change the appearance, fullness and texture of breasts.
