Breast Augmentation Post-Baby

Having a baby is one of the most wonderful experiences of a woman's life. The after-effects, however, are often less than desirable. One such change that occurs among women after giving birth is changes in their breasts. The size goes from large to small after she either chooses not to breastfeed or is done breastfeeding. The tissue on the inside of the breast is very different and takes some time to get back to normal, and women will likely be more sagging in appearance after having babies as well. Some women may decide to just put up with these things, but if you would like a change, then having a breast augmentation may be the choice for you.

Breast augmentation is a fairly simple surgery, but your plastic surgeon should give you options in regard to what type of implant you will want whether saline or silicone. Your doctor will help you decide what size of implants to get hopefully aiming at what you would like the finished product to be.

There are various ways the surgery can be done in regards to where the incision is put and also where the implant is placed. Your doctor will know what is the best option for this, but will likely discuss pros and cons and find out what you would like as well. The implant will likely be put under the pectoral muscle because putting it in front of it makes it difficult to see the tissue if you are having your breasts examined by machine.

The nature of breast augmentation makes it a more private surgery, so you will probably want to find a doctor who will help make the whole process the least obvious as possible. The recovery time is fairly short for breast augmentation surgery, but it may vary according to what clinic you choose and what methods they use to help with recovery.

Finding a doctor is something you should put some time and thought into. You will want a doctor who respects you and your opinion, while being professional and experienced. Some ways you can see professionalism is in the clinic's website, in the office staff's courtesy, and in the doctor's demeanor at your consultation visit.

You will want to be sure to look for information on the doctor's education as well as associations that he or she is presently a part of. Experience is a big deal in the medical field. You will want to know how long they have been practicing and where. Everyone has to start somewhere, so if somehow you are assured that though a doctor is new at what he or she does, they are good at it, go for it. If you are nervous anyway, it may help you to have someone who does have experience on his or her side.

When you feel confident after selecting few doctors, you will want to make your final decision based on your consultation with each one. Make sure that they listen well to your concerns and that they answer all of your questions. If you feel more nervous when you leave then when you came in, then either you should rethink getting the surgery, or you should move on to a different prospective doctor, because they likely did not do their job in putting you at ease.
