In this contemporary era, technological advancements have made breast augmentation surgery an attractive idea to women seeking to enhance the size of their chest. If you are interested in understanding the basic aspects involved in attaining breast augmentation surgery, be sure to consider the brief outline that appears below:
Breast Augmentation: The Basics
Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that involves using breast implants – made of either silicone or saline – to increase the size of the patient’s breasts. Breast augmentation surgery can also be utilized to restore breast size and volume that has been reduced following pregnancy or weight reduction. The clinical term for breast augmentation is augmentation mammoplasty.
What Can Breast Augmentation Do?
Breast augmentation is deemed efficacious in accomplishing the following objectives:
- Increasing fullness of the breasts
- Improving the balance/proportionality of one’s figure
- Enhancing self-confidence and self-image
- Performing breast reconstruction following injury or mastectomy
What Breast Augmentation Surgery Will Not Do
Although breast augmentation can be efficacious, there are certain objectives it cannot accomplish. Specifically, it cannot correct breasts that droop. If you are attempting to make your breasts look fuller due to sagging, the appropriate procedure would be a breast lift in conjunction with breast augmentation. A breast lift can oftentimes be completed at the same time as the augmentation. In other cases, a separate procedure is necessary. Schedule a consultation with Dr. Landon Pryor to find out which procedures are best for you. We’ll advise you on the recommended treatment options based on your individual needs and the results you’re looking to achieve.
Breast Implant Replacement
As many plastic surgeons will tell you, breast implants typically do not last for an entire life span. This is why they may require replacement at some point. In light of this reality, it’s a good idea to plan to an annual exam from your plastic surgeon in order to evaluate your health and the integrity of your implants.
Summing It All Up
If you’re interested in attaining a breast augmentation surgery, it’s important to note that doing so can enhance your appearance and self-confidence.
