Breast Augmentation - Helping You Achieve Your Hourglass Figure

If you have always desired to have that "hourglass figure," but the only thing lacking was the size of your breasts, your dreams can come true when you undergo a breast augmentation procedure. This procedure can enhance your overall body contour, which may as a result improve your self-confidence. A breast enhancement procedure consists of a plastic surgeon inserting a breast implant behind your breasts to create larger, fuller breasts. You can receive a personalized treatment plan when you call and schedule a consultation. The surgeon will speak with you concerning your past and present health issues that may be of concern to your procedure, as well as your past surgeries, your expectations for the procedure and more. During your consultation, you may discuss other procedures that can be used in conjunction with the breast augmentation procedure for the best possible results. You may be able to get a breast enhancement and a breast lift during the same procedure. A lift involves removing excess skin and tissue from your breast and a repositioning of your nipples for a more natural looking contour. Both of these procedures done together can provide you with an amazing and youthful body contour. Your plastic surgeon may explain to you the differences between the two common types of breast implant: the silicone and the saline. You can learn of the advantages and disadvantages of each and decide which might be better for you. During your breast augmentation consultation, you will also be informed of the type of incision that will be used during your procedure, to achieve the least amount of visible scarring. Your surgeon may discuss your healing time following your procedure, the amount of breast sensitivity you may experience, and the side effects of the procedure. Additional breast surgeries your doctor may perform include the following: - Breast Reconstruction - This treatment builds a breast with the use of the person's own skin, muscle, and fat from others areas of the body or uses breast implants to replace the missing breast. This procedure provides a satisfactory, natural looking breast replacement. - Breast Reduction - Here, the surgeon removes excess breast tissue, skin, and fat from the breast area and tightens the remaining skin for a newly contoured breast. If you want to find out whether a breast augmentation procedure is right for you, call or visit a reputable plastic surgery center for more information. The courteous staff will schedule a consultation with the surgeon so you can learn whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure.
