Breast Augmentation - Preparing Yourself Mentally
When it comes to breast augmentation most of the changes are physical. When you go in for surgery you look one way. When you come out, you look another way. But there are other changes that take place including mentally getting ready and used to the idea of a change.
Aside from the physical changes that come with breast augmentation there are mental changes that you need to be prepared for. You've probably imagined with it would be like to look in the mirror and see your body looking completely different,
but you also want to prepare yourself mentally for the changes that are going to take place.
How Will You Feel?
If this is something that you have looked forward to for a long time you may just assume that you are going to feel great when the procedure is complete and you have undergone a breast augmentation. However, there may be a moment or two when you wonder if you have made the right decision. Some women even feel a tinge of regret.
While these feeling don't usually last, it is important to expect to see them. It doesn't mean that you are unhappy with the work that was done or that you aren't pleased with the results. Just like your body will take time to adjust and completely heal your mind will need to adjust to seeing something completely different in the mirror.
Dealing with the Changes
One of the most noticeable changes for most women is the clothing they wear and how it fits. No matter what type of breast augmentation you opted for, there are going to be changes in things like your bra size and the type of shirt that you feel good wearing. When you know that things are going to change with your wardrobe you tell yourself that it is okay that several things in your closet are going to have to go. In fact you plan to go out and find new clothes that fit well with the new look that you have achieved.
Don't go home expecting to be able to have everything the same. You made a change and now other things in your life are going to change. Planning for this type of thing can prevent you from feeling discouragement and frustration.
Other People's Responses
You made a change for yourself. You needed something different and you opted for a breast augmentation. It will be important to remember these things as you once again go out in public and get back to life as usual. People will probably notice and with that comes their opinions on your procedure.
While most people will be open with compliments and quiet with concerns you may occasionally run into a few problem people. When you mentally prepare for this you aren't surprised when it comes up and you are ready with comments that assert your confidence in yourself and the lack of need that you have for their opinion.
