What is Breast Augmentation?

Adding size to your chest is a simple decision for most women but for others it’s a grueling decision. There is a lot that has to be understood by these ladies about the procedure to ensure that they are getting exactly what they are wanting. Understanding the procedure, how it will happen, what the recovery will be and how long it everything will take is important if you are planning to have any type of procedure. So what is breast augmentation anyway?

Well, for starters breast augmentation surgery is just like it sounds. You’ll be adding size to your chest area in the form of implants. These implants can be made out of silicone or saline. There are some that are made of an alternative composition such as soil oil and polypropylene string. These alternative implants aren’t used often so you’ll probably end up using silicone or saline. There are pros and cons to using either type. If you are unsure of which implant you should use speak to your surgeon he can answer all your questions and help you get the one that you’ll be most happy with.

When you think of what you want to look like then you’re probably considering cup size. Don’t be surprised if your doctor doesn’t start out talking about cup size. Sure that’s how we, mere mortals, gauge the size but in breast augmentation you’ll be adding to what you already have. If you are already a B cup size and add a standard 150cc to that then you’ll probably end up with a C cup, if you’re a larger B then you may even end up with the lower end of a D cup.

It all depends on how big you already are and how you’re built. Don’t worry though, your doctor may be talking implant sizes in cubic centimeters (CCs) but he’ll know what size implant you need in order to get you up to the size you’re looking for.

Breast augmentation surgery shouldn’t be taken lightly. This is something that is going to be pretty much instantly noticeable. If you want to change your body but want it to be a subtle change you might want to go with a size that looks more natural to your body type. You might not want to go for the largest size you can if you don’t want a lot of attention. This is something that is for you not for the entire world to enjoy.

Take your time and ensure what you want to do. You need to do all your research before you go for a consultation so that you can have all your questions ready. The best way to ensure that you’ll get the look you’re looking for is to know what you are getting into before you speak to a physician. Breast augmentation is not an overly complicated procedure, taking your time and making sure you know what is going on will allow you to enjoy your new look a whole lot better, you’ll have peace of mind.
