Breast Augmentation and the Choices You’ll Make

If you are at the point that you have decided that you want to undergo breast augmentation sugery, but you have not consulted with a doctor, take the plunge. This is the step that usually sets a domino effect in other pending decisions. This is where the true excitement begins. Do a little research and choose a few doctors to interview, and take the next step forward. Schedule a free consultation with one or all of the surgeons you have researched, and bring your arsenal of questions and concerns.

Like any new endeavor, you will want to have all your questions answered and your nerves eased before you take another step, and a consultation with a doctor is the way to go. Within this meeting, you will learn about all the choices affiliated with choosing breast augmentation. You have probably already envisioned a size that you want to be, but have you thought at all about the material that you want to use, or the type of incision that you prefer to have?

Even though you may have a size in mind, keep in mind that your surgeon is an expert in this field, and while it is your body and your vision, he can project from experience if your desires will ultimately meet your expectations. Listen to his professional advice, consider his professional opinion, and make an informed decision together based on a combination of your wants and needs and the doctor’s experience. He knows what your frame can handle, and he has the research to back up what he thinks will be a good range in size for you.

Saline or silicone is a choice with which you will be faced as well, and while history has attached a negative connotation to silicone, the hype is really just that. History. Either option is safe, and depending on your aesthetic desires and sometimes based on your medical needs, you and your doctor will come to a decision that is right for you.

Your doctor will likely have a suggestion when it comes to the type of incision that you will undergo. It may depend on the material you have chosen, it could depend on your physique or other attributes, or it could be influenced by surgeries such as a lift that you may be having in conjunction with the implant surgery, but your doctor will discuss your options and the pros and cons of each in a pre-op consultation.

Ultimately, you need to be accepting of your prospective surgeon’s expertise. It is likely that you will be able to portray to the doctor just what you want from the surgery and he will be able to make that happen for you, but you should be open to his suggestions as you would any professional in any field. It is your body, but he knows the safest and most effective easy to achieve your desired results through breast augmentation surgery.
