Breast Enhancement and Augmentation Procedures

By Andrew W Johns

Women have breast augmentation for an array of reasons. For some it may be she wants to be more endowed, she feels that their breast aren't symetrical, or just that they are the wrong shape for her. Whatever the reason, it can be a call for attention for women to consider the surgery. The most common reason is a lack of confidence. Having breasts or other body parts she is dislikes cn damage th way she sees heself. Breast cancer survivors also have the augumentation surgery after having the damaged tissue removed during treatment. The results are almost unimersally a boon to the happiness and look of the patient.

The first thing a woman considering breast augmentation needsto think about is the shape she wants. These days, unlike before, the implants come in different shapes. This allows for a more natural look after the surgery. Even though modern implants are slightly more expensive, the natural look is worth the trade off.

When it comes to breast augmentation procedures, another thing that a woman considering the operation should think about is the incision site. There are three different possibilities. Firstly, the implant can be inserted where the breast meets the lower chest (the inframammary crease). This leaves a small scar, but it is hidden by its location. Another possibility is that the incision can be made where the areola meets the skin of the breast (the periareola). The implant is then inserted into a pocket made under the muscle. Lastly, an incision can be made in the armpit, or axillary. For the surgeon, this is slightly more work, due to the fact that there is a larger distance between where the implant will lie and where the incision is made.

When considering breast augmentation, it is important to know exactly the appearance the patient wants when the surgery is completed. If the woman getting the implants is not specific and honest with herself and her surgeon of choice, she will not get the look that she has in mind in the end.

Keep in mind that the same implants will look different on different women. The best advice on which to choose will come from your plastic surgeon.

There are many qualified and skilled surgeons in the United States for women to consult with about breast augmentation. Women considering the procedure should reasearch and ask questions to find the right surgeon to use. - 15252
