Breast augmentation surgery is the most popular form of cosmetic surgery performed for women around the globe. The upwards trend of the number of procedures performed each year indicates that many women feel that having larger, firmer breasts will elevate their quality of life.
Many people believe that large, firm breasts enhance a woman’s sex appeal. The question is: do the breast implants boost her sex appeal or does her elevated level of self confidence boost her sex appeal? The answer to that question is probably a little bit of both. An increased level of self confidence has been proven to boost a person's quality of life, and having large, firm breasts often enhances self-confidence; both conditions feed off each other. The fact is that if a woman’s self-confidence is improved, so is her quality of life and it doesn't matter how that boost to her self confidence is acquired.
It's a rather simple process for a woman to get breast augmentation surgery: make an appointment with a board certified surgeon, pay him several thousand dollars, schedule the surgery, arrive at the hospital on time, and then go home with larger breasts. Too easy? You bet! Not being careful in choosing your physician could result in corrective surgery! This article will discuss how to find the right breast augmentation surgeon for your procedure.
The best place to look for a breast augmentation surgeon is at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons’ website. This site contains a database of all plastic surgeons practicing in the U.S. that are qualified to perform breast augmentation surgery (according to their standards). Membership requirements are rigorous. It is safe to assume that a doctor who is listed with the ASPS is a solid candidate to perform your surgery. The database will list the surgeon’s qualifications including schooling, residency, and fellowship. Ideally, you should look for a surgeon that specializes in breast augmentation.
You should never settle for less than the most experienced surgeon you can find. A breast augmentation surgeon with years (rather than months) of experience is your optimal choice. Your health and your safety are too important to ever settle for second-best!
Another good idea is to make certain your doctor has a large collection of before-and-after photos. It's important that you review photos of work he or she has done on other women within your age range. This procedure, as everything else in life, will affect a 40 year old woman differently than a 20 year old woman; 40 year old women do not heal as quickly as 20 year old women. The older woman's tissues are not nearly as elastic as young woman's and the older woman won't heal as quickly or bounce back from the surgery as quickly.
Even if you find a surgeon you favor, he or she may not be the best choice for your breast augmentation. If the surgeon offers an abundance of services rather than specializing specifically in breast augmentation procedures, you might want to find another surgeon. Specializing in one area means the doctor will have more experience in that procedure than someone who performs dozens of different types of cosmetic surgery.
Hospitals spend millions every year on upgrades and cleanliness in their facilities. They are subject to inspections, stringent regulations, and building code enforcement. A surgeon’s office is not subject to these same inspections and regulations. For safety sake, make sure you have the procedure performed at a hospital!
Always consult a licensed medical doctor for your health care needs. Don’t rely on second-hand information. If you want the most up to date information regarding breast augmentation, schedule a consult with a licensed, practicing plastic surgeon. Nothing beats speaking directly with a licensed physician when you are considering invasive surgery.
