Breast Augmentation: Decisions You Must Make

Breast augmentation is a procedure that can make your bosom larger and perkier. Sometimes people combine the procedure with a lift for that purpose. That procedure is specifically designed to reduce sagging that occurs over time. Sometimes women who have had children and have breastfed decide to have both procedures to perk up and have a fuller bosom. People who plan to have additional children and plan to breastfed should think about waiting for the procedure.

Those who are trying to lose weight through lap band surgery, in which they will likely lose a large amount of weight, should also wait for the procedure. Losing a large amount of weight might cause you to have a sagging bosom, because when you lose the fat, you can expect to lose size and perkiness in your bosom.
If you decide to have a breast augmentation, you will have to choose between whether you would prefer silicone implants over saline implants. If you decide to get a lift, you can discuss the type of incision that you will have in the surgery. You might need only a slight lift with the implants to achieve the look that you desire.

Your doctor might tell you that there is no need to have a lift associated with the surgery. On the other hand, if you do not get implants and you would like to have a lift, you might need to have an anchor lift when the doctor needs to reduce a large amount of sagginess. The doctor can use different techniques depending on the level of sagginess. The doctor can also recommend a lift or let you know if a lift will not be necessary in addition to your breast augmentation. The doctor might find that a bit of loose skin is fine as he inserts implants of your choice.

When you are deciding on your implants, you will have to choose your desired size. A doctor will take your measurements and can give your recommendations based on your current body frame. The doctor will discuss the cubic centimeters that he or she believes will be suitable for you. The implant size will be measured in cubic centimeters. Sometimes women regret the size that they get for their procedure and wish that they had gone with a larger size.

To prevent this from happening, you should try larger sizes than you thought that you would have tried prior to visiting the doctor. Really think about whether or not the larger size fits your personality and your goals. See how the size looks while wearing a various tops, including a bikini top. You can also ask people who are close to you for their advice, but since you are the one who is getting the surgery, you need to be happy with your decision. If you receive the implant and feel that that size is too large or too small, you can seek revision surgery. This will mean bearing an additional expense, time off from work, and another healing period. When you make your decision for your breast augmentation surgery, it is best that you are completely happy with all of your decisions.
