Breast Augmentation – A Lift That Boosts Confidence

1. Breast Augmentation – A Lift That Boosts Confidence

2. Many women in their middle age rue the fact that their breasts are not what they were. •After children are born, women’s breasts lose the perkiness of youth •As far as the demands go for breast augmentation, MD women desire safe solutions as much as women anywhere else in America.

3. •This is natural because breasts’ shape and size pay a pivotal role in a woman’s self perception, femininity and self-esteem. •This is borne by the fact that among the top five cosmetic procedures performed in the United States, breast augmentation leads the pack with close to 290,000 procedures done in 2014.

4. What exactly is breast augmentation? • Breast augmentation in medical terms or clinically is referred to as augmentation mammoplasty. • •The objective of this procedure is to: • Enhance fullness and protrusion of breasts • Improve overall figure • Provide boost to the woman’s self-esteem, image and confidence

5. •However while desiring breast augmentation, MD women must note that: • Augmentation mammoplasty does not correct severely drooping breasts • Women with drooping breasts must go in for breast lift in conjunction with breast augmentation

6. •For a plastic surgeon it is no easy task to perform an aesthetic breast surgery •He or she must have a keen understanding of what the appropriate size and proportion of the patients’ breasts must be •A good surgeon assesses the woman’s overall proportion, and evaluates the right balance from the upper torso to the hips.

7. •While looking for a procedure for breast augmentation, Baltimore women prefer a surgeon who will spend good time in consultation •Apart from evaluating the woman, the doctor also shows her a sample bra and a sample implant so that the client can make up her mind

8. Now there is a new trend in the market •Doctors are offering a quick temporary breast enlargement fix instead of surgery •Instead of surgery, the plastic surgeon injects a saline solution that temporarily expand the breasts •The purpose of this is to make women appreciate how she will look after surgery and not have any unrealistic expectations

9. •This procedure has become popular so much so that women are requesting injections for parties, events, and for vacations. A good candidate for breast implantation is one who is: •In good health but unhappy with her breast size •Willing to strictly follow the surgeon’s instructions •Understands the risks involved •Has realistic expectations •Willing to give time for recovery because post-procedure she has to put certain restrictions on her activities

10. Like all surgical procedures breast augmentation also carries certain risks like: •Breast pain •Bleeding and infection •Bad skin scarring •Implant rupture •Need for additional corrective surgeries •Other complications can include asymmetry, hematoma, necrosis, delayed wound healing to name some

11. Concerns •Numerous women are still worried about silicone implants even though FDA has approved this procedure in 2006. •This procedure was removed from the market in 1992 while the Food and Drug Administration was evaluating its safety. •Even after silicone gels have been deemed safe, apprehensions of silent ruptures still persist. •Yet, risks from such breast augmentation are neither higher nor lower than any other surgical procedure

12. •In good hands, the chances of a successful outcome is high •However, women must realize that breast augmentation is typically a cosmetic procedure and if the need arises the implants may need to be removed. Researchers are now trying to develop a non-silicone based polymer, which they hope will reduce the failure rate of implants even further But most important of all, the surgeon must be reputed, must be board-certified and has a record for performing many successful procedures.
