For women looking into breast augmentation surgery,Advances in Breast Augmentation Technology Articles there have been many recent advances in plastic surgery technology that have revolutionized and built upon the technology of the past. Now surgeries for women are safer, more effective, and leave behind less scarring. Some even reduce recovery time.

With the new surgery methodology, the largest improvement to overall surgery is that it is safer. Many women who might not have qualified in the past can now have elective breast augmentation due to less risk in the surgical process. In the past, there was a lot of risk for infection post operation. Today, the surgery takes different levels of precaution to eliminate this major risk. There are also advances in monitoring during the surgery so that women with minor health risks may now qualify for the procedure.

Scarring is another part of breast augmentation surgery that has improved. Plastic surgeons are now able to use new techniques to enter the body and make smaller incisions than before in more discreet areas of the body. Although silicone implants still require sizeable incisions because a full implant is being introduced to the body, saline implants can be implanted through incisions around the aerola, up by the armpits, or even through a small incision near the belly button.

There has been some debate on the safety of both saline and silicone implants but the FDA has approved both for use and both are highly popular. Today, implants are made with greater variety or are adaptable so that women are able to achieve the size, shape, and texture they desire. There is no longer a limited selection of options. Plastic surgeons have also developed new techniques for the surgery itself so that implants are placed more strategically in the chest cavity so that they are put below the muscle layer, securing the implants and restricting movement to ensure the permanency of the surgery.

Aside from the two major implant choices, it is also safe to use fat transfer as a new alternative in breast augmentation. This allows women to choose the most natural solution possible to augment their breast size safely and effectively. Because it is a natural substance that already exists in your own body, there is little risk of your body rejecting the new fatty deposits. Special corsets have been designed so that the new fat cells settle in such a way that give you naturally large breasts without risk of malformations.

Lastly, FDA and plastic surgeons are sure that breast augmentation surgery will not affect a woman's chances of getting breast cancer. Implants and implant surgery also effectively enhances the size of your breasts without impacting your ability to bear children or breast feed. After speaking to a plastic surgeon in your area, you will be surprised to learn how risks, side effects, and speed healing have improved.
