Breast Augmentation Surgery - What You Should Know

Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most common cosmetic surgery procedures in the United States. Just in 2005 alone, there was an estimated nine percent increase in breast augmentation surgery according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and since then it has only increased. Even though there are some questionable health hazards arising from this form of cosmetic surgery, more and more women are opting for this procedure to improve their figures. Whether due to the toll of motherhood, aging, or self esteem issues because of small breasts, women find that they can still save some of their youthful profile through this procedure.



The basic idea behind breast augmentation surgery is to insert a breast implant behind the breast tissue or in front of the breast muscle. Women can choose the size, shape and extent of the breast implant through this procedure, and the surgery involves minimal invasiveness. Another option for those who want less than half a cup size breast augmentation is a breast augmentation fat transfer. While it works on the same idea, the principle here to fill out your breast or to direct their size instead of bringing too noticeable a difference in their cup size. It should be remembered though, that breast enhancement surgeries require a high level of skill and should be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon, preferably one with expertise in breast enhancement procedures.

Since no two female bodies are exactly the same, it is also recommended to sit with your doctor and discuss the options available to you for the surgery. Since you will be greatly affected by this decision forever after, and breast size often has a direct impact on the physical appearance and ego of a woman, this step becomes particularly important. Ask your doctor or consultant about the choices you have for the implant, the incision location and the implant location. Be sure you understand what is happening, and the impact of your choices, since you will have to live with it every day.

There are several choices to make here, a few of which we will briefly go through. The incision can be made in a number of places, notably under the breast (this is known as the inframammory incision), in the arm pit (known as the transaxillory incision), around the nipple (known as periareoral incision) and in the naval area (the TUBAL incision). Depending on your own anatomy and the enhancements you want to make, the breast augmentation surgery will proceed. Then, you will have to decide where you want the implants. You can place them above the pectoral muscles, slightly behind the pectoral muscles, or completely behind them.

You should also discuss whether you want silicone implants or saline based implants. While it has not been proven, many women worry about side effects from leaking silicone implants and they received a great deal of bad publicity about ten years ago. While saline breast implants are also an alternative in breast augmentation surgery, what you will end up choosing also depends on the volume of the implant and whether you want this to be adjustable post-surgery or not.
