Breast Augmentation Lessons In Hollywood - The Bad Examples

Breast augmentation in Hollywood has become a standard for most starlets. Unfortunately, the bad examples seem to stand out a great deal more, while you'd never be able to guess who has had the best work. Even though primary implant procedures have overall high rates of patient satisfaction, women considering surgery can learn a few things from Hollywood's most notable mistakes. Here are some prominent lessons about avoidable cosmetic surgery mistakes.

What happens when you get large implants on a very narrow and petite body frame? You might end up with a chest similar to that of Victoria Beckham or Tori Spelling. Both women are thinner than your average girl and have received implants that are clearly several sizes too large. The result is hardened lumps that appear to have capsular contracture. Capsular contracture is a condition that occurs when the tissue surrounding the implant begins to constrict tightly around it. It is essentially the body's immune system actively attacking a foreign object. The chest begins to appear squeezed and misshapen. This is a potential risk that every patient faces, regardless of weight or implant size. However, choosing excessively large implants with little existing tissue will more often than not result in an unnaturally round and stretched appearance.

Can't decide which implant size to choose? Don't flip a coin or your chest will resemble that of Pamela Anderson, Denise Richards, or Katie Price. All three have had multiple breast augmentation surgeries in an attempt to find the perfect balance. The results? The more often you undergo the scalpel, not only are you putting yourself at great health risks, but you are damaging your skin. Only so much skin can be removed and re-stretched to fit before the area will appear thinner. There will also be more scarring with each subsequent surgery. While revisions are sometimes necessary, it is best to think carefully about which size you'd like beforehand.

Bigger isn't always better and plastic surgery poster child Heidi Montag will attest to that. The young pseudo-celebrity became infamous for undergoing several simultaneous procedures including a second breast augmentation, which inflated her chest up to a startling H cup. She has lamented in several interviews that she feels excessive pain and discomfort, and that many activities such as exercising and even cuddling are problematic due to her oversized implants. Women must carefully consider if their new body will suit their lifestyle as surgery can have far-reaching consequences. They must also be cautious about going too far and becoming addicted to cosmetic surgery.

There are many examples of fantastic implants among the Hollywood elite, but it's hard to list them because they're so well hidden. It's been speculated that some of the best belong to women like Fergie, Halle Berry, and Giselle Bundchen. The secret to getting great results is seeking out surgeons with good reputations and board certification. Patients should also carefully research the procedure beforehand in order to make the best choices possible including implant material, size, shape and placement.
