According to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery,Breast Augmentation in Orange County – Safety Issues and the Measures Articles plastic surgery is a popular trend in the United States with breast augmentation in Orange County being the second most popular cosmetic procedure after liposuction. Cosmetic surgery may be dangerous as it may sometimes lead to hematomas, infections, necrosis or even death. Even a 14-years ban on silicone implants in the U.S. because of potential health risks couldn’t stop them to come back to the business as the demand for it has grown has tremendously. Another risk posed by breast implants is the rising number of suicides among women. Moreover, women with breast implants were likely to have problems with alcohol and drugs and were more likely to be divorced that may all contribute to suicide.

Many clinics have started to implement psychiatric and physical screenings for patients who want to undergo the surgery to ensure that they are both mentally and physically fit enough to do so. Researchers’ link these suicides to a combination of medication received post-op and the fact that up to 15% of patients who undergo plastic surgery may suffer from body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) that may cause people to obsess over small or even nonexistent imperfections. Women considering a breast augmentation may often be concerned visualizing the end result. They may have a hard time deciding which size and shape of implant will help them achieve their desired look.

In an effort to make it easier, a board-certified Orange County plastic surgeon may offer a virtual simulation technology that allows women to view how their bodies will look post-surgery. Such a state-of-the-art technology may enhance a patient's breast augmentation experience. The technology may align with a patient’s goals and allow the surgeon to visualize how different implant sizes may aesthetically enhance the body to help patient feel more comfortable throughout the entire process. Prior to the procedure, a 3D simulation of the patient’s body is created. The patient may then be asked to select and preview different breast implants to determine which size and shape best achieves their desired aesthetic appearance.

The simulation may be viewed from every angle and dressed with particular articles of clothing to give an idea of how they will look in their garment of choice. Doctors feel that this technology is a giant step towards the future of cosmetic plastic surgery and any woman considering breast implants should make it part of their decision process. However, whatever advanced technologies or techniques a surgeon may offer, women should always consult with a board-certified plastic surgeon while considering breast augmentation or any other cosmetic procedure. Only a qualified surgeon may be able to provide ethical care as he has undergone extensive education and training necessary to perform the procedure.
