Augmentation mammoplasty also
known as breast augmentation is a procedure of using implants for making
breasts larger, fuller and firmer. This type of a surgery cannot solve some
problems related to loose breasts, but it can certainly improve your appearance
and make you feel more satisfied with yourself. If you have realistic
expectations, you will be more than satisfied with the results.
Breasts can lose their volume and shape due to significant weight loss, or
after pregnancy. Aging is another factor that can affect the shape and volume
of your once beautiful breasts. Some women can also have unevenly developed
breasts. If you aren't satisfied with their appearance any more, maybe you
should consider using implants.
Augmentation mammoplasty cannot lift your breasts, but it can affect their
volume and firmness, as well as their shape. Some other surgical procedures may
solve this type of problems. If you are healthy and don't expect drastic
enlargement, you will be more than satisfied with your new body.
For lifting up your sagging breasts, maybe you should consider taking
mastopexy. This particular procedure can be combined with mammoplasty, when you
would like to enlarge your breasts at the same time. Women who would like to
have more children should postpone it for some time, because their future
pregnancy may affect the results.
Some women have different problems. They have to carry their over-sized breasts
and they cause them numerous difficulties. Reduction mammoplasty is special
surgical procedure for reducing over-sized breasts. Although women should be
fully developed to take this operation, in this case sometimes can be some
exceptions.
In any case, when you are unhappy with your body, there are different
procedures that can successfully solve your problems. The important thing is
that this is something you are doing to make you feel better about yourself and
your appearance, and to improve your self-confidence. You have to be perfectly
healthy and old enough to make such a decision.
Silicone implants are still very popular, although today you can find different
alternatives. Implants are usually made of silicone, but some contain sterile
salt water instead plastic or silicone gel. Implants containing sterile salt
water, so called saline implants are considered to be less risky, but most
women still prefer silicone gel filling, because it feels more like a real
thing.
According to FDA regulations, you need to have at least eighteen years to
receive saline-filled implants, and you have to be other ways perfectly
healthy. You have to be at least twenty-two to get silicone filled implants.
Consult your doctor about the whole procedure and other related issues. Make
sure to choose highly experienced surgeon to perform the surgery, with good
references and long years of experience.
Breast augmentation usually takes somewhere between one and two hours, and it
is performed under general anesthesia. You will probably be able to go home the
same day, and to get back to work the next day. You will feel no pain during
surgery, and recover very quickly after everything is done.
