Breast Augmentation With The Empty Nest

During the years when you have children at home, you are likely busy taking care of them, and it is easy to forget to take care of your own appearance. Once the kids are out of the house, you might start to notice that gravity is beginning to take its toll on your body. A breast augmentation might be exactly what you need to make you feel confident and yourself again.

The empty nest period of your life can be a time of getting to know yourself and your husband again like when you first got married before your children came along. Of course you have both changed physically since then, but a tweak here and there will make you feel like you are back on track. Breast augmentation is a fairly simple surgery that depending on the clinic you use can have a very short recovery time.

If you decide to have a breast augmentation it will be fairly straightforward, but you may have a few options to choose from. You and your doctor will probably discuss whether you should have a saline or silicone implant. He or she will likely give you the pros and cons of both as well as his own opinion. You might also discuss the incision location and the implant location. Your doctor will probably choose to put your implant under the pectoral muscle so that the tissue in the area in front of the muscle will be more visible to doctors wanting to examine your breasts at a future date.

Once you do some research on breast augmentation and decide that it is something you would like to have, then take the time to research doctors in the field, so that you will find the one that fits with you and your needs the best. You will want a professional, well-trained, empathetic doctor who is also a good listener. You can find some of these things out by looking at websites, but some of the determining factors will come together when you meet with the doctor in person for a consultation.

Be sure to thoroughly look through websites for educational information as well as years of experience in doing breast augmentation. It may not give you specifically this information, so make sure you make a note that you would like to ask the doctor this when you meet with him or her. Look through the website for information on whether they are members of well-known and respected associations that will bring credibility to their practice.

After sorting through various doctors, you will likely come down to a few favorites. For these, you should visit the office unannounced and see how clean the office is as well as how friendly the receptionist seems. If you are pleased, ask there to make a consultation appointment with the doctor so that you can talk in person and see whether you can work with him or her. Be sure to take note of how they listen and respond to your questions. You will want a doctor who is willing to come to your level and discuss the procedure.
