What To Consider Before Having A Breast Augmentation
When it comes to breast augmentation is bigger better? Not
necessarily. It really depends on your frame size, your
overall general health and your motivation for getting the
procedure done in the first place.
If you have a small body frame getting implants may not be
a good idea as the extra weight can knock the spine and
chest muscle wall out of alignment. Also huge breasts on a
small woman can be unattractive as it knocks the overall
symmetry of your body out of proportion. So when choosing
your implants make sure that you are aware of the entire
effect of the procedure and not just how you will look
between your neck and upper tummy!
You might also want to consider exactly where the implants
will be placed. They can be inserted either above or below
the chest muscle and both approaches have a different
effect. Make sure you consult with your plastic surgeon
beforehand by examining hundreds of before and after
photographs so that you can decide which type of breast
implant insertion is best for you. If you can't decide
then make sure that you take your plastic surgeon's advice.
Chances are he has run into operating on someone shaped
just like you before and knows what will look best!
You might also want to consider some of the health risks
associated with breast implant augmentation. First of all
it is considered to be invasive surgery. In the breast
augmentation procedure, an implant is inserted through an
incision either under the breast or in the armpit. The
implant is filled with a saline solution after it is
positioned beneath the skin. You will
require general
anesthesia and a recovery time of at least eight weeks that
includes taking painkillers. If you have been known to have
a reaction to anesthesia or have a history of addiction you
may not want to go through with the procedure.
You might also want to consider that breast sensation can
be affected after the surgery and they may feel hard,
unfamiliar and artificial. Prepare yourself
psychologically for the lack of sensation in the nipple
that often occurs for weeks after you have the operation.
This is a normal reaction and usually the nipple sensation
returns after a few months. However a small number of
women may experience permanent numbness in their breasts or
nipple.
You should also be aware that it is dangerous to your
health to get pregnant within six months after a breast
augmentation. Hormonal changes can cause fluids to collect
around the nipple causing infections and pressure that may
result in the breast and also the nipple being removed!
One more thing that you need to be aware of is that your
new breasts may not look exactly like you want until six
months after the operation. It takes that long for the
implants to harmonize with your body and settle in to their
desired shape. Fortunately, breast implants can always be
removed if you decide you don't like the final effect.
