Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure that (can) enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. It is also known as breast enlargement or mammoplasty. This aesthetic procedure involves inserting an implant, either silicone or saline, under the chest muscles or behind the breast tissue to increase the size of breasts. Although it is not necessary for medical reasons, some women opt for this surgery to improve their appearance and self-confidence!

The process begins with a consultation between patient and doctor where they discuss the desired outcome, implant type and placement, recovery time, risks and other factors. After this initial meeting, the surgeon will then proceed with performing the surgery which typically takes (no more than) two hours. The patient is given general anesthetic during this time so they remain asleep throughout the entire procedure.

Once complete, there may be some swelling associated with breast augmentation and it can take up to six weeks for full results to show. During this period of time it is important to follow all instructions from your doctor carefully in order to ensure proper healing. Furthermore, although most patients are able to return home on the same day as their surgery; sometimes overnight stay may be required depending on individual circumstances.

In conclusion, breast augmentation has become increasingly popular over recent years due to its ability to dramatically enhance a woman's appearance . It is essential that any prospective patient research extensively before proceeding with such a major decision in order to make an informed choice about whether or not this is the right option for them! Additionally, selecting an experienced board certified plastic surgeon should provide greater peace of mind when considering undergoing this type of cosmetic procedure.
