Body: If you’ve decided to go forward with breast augmentation, you may not realize how many choices still lie ahead of you. Not that this should give you any reason to back out. As long as you are clear and firm in your choice to move forward, then you should be excited about what comes next. This is where you get to decide exactly how it goes down. How you want to look following your surgery. This is where you get to do your own customizations and it can be a very exciting time. Here are some of the choices you’ll need to make.

If you haven’t done so already, you’ll need to choose a surgeon. It’s not a bad thing that you haven’t chosen yet. In fact, some of the other choices you make may have an impact on which surgeon you want to go with. There are a number of factors that go into a successful breast augmentation, but none are more important than the guy (or gal) who puts them in. Plastic surgery is as much an art as it is a science and it requires skill and a deft hand to create the best possible contour. Require before and after pictures of the doctor’s work, so you can judge for yourself whether or not his implants are for you.

Of course, size matters when it comes to breast augmentation. You probably have a vague idea of how large you would like your implants to be, but you’ll need more than a vague idea to bring to the surgeon. That doesn’t mean going in and telling him that you want this many CCs, either. Most surgeons will roll their eyes at you if you do that. Pictures are a much better indicator of what you want to achieve. It may help you to make you decision to know that the most frequent complaint women have after their surgery is that they wish they had gone a bit bigger. Still, you need to find something that is right for your frame and suits your own purposes.

Finally, you’ll need to make the big choice—saline or silicone. Silicone implants are by far the most popular form of material for breast augmentation in the United States. Having said that, both materials have their benefits and drawbacks. Do your research and come to a decision about which material you’d like to be in your body. In the meantime, have a discussion with your surgeon and see what he recommends.
