Have You Thought About Breast Augmentation?

If you are a typical Houston woman, breast augmentation has probably crossed your mind at one time or another. It is likely you have thought about enhancement surgery and how it might improve your figure. You probably have friends, family, or co-workers that have had some sort of breast enhancement procedure, so it is natural to think of it in terms of your own body. It may be the most popular plastic surgery that there is today. Hundreds of thousands of augmentation procedures are performed each year.

Breast augmentation procedures have been refined and fine-tuned over the years. It is a tried and true cosmetic procedure that is safe and effective. The majority of women who have the surgery report being extremely pleased with the results, and more than happy to recommend the procedure to friends and family.  It is an excellent way to obtain a womanly figure by increasing your cup size and firming your breasts. Perhaps you have experienced childbirth and breastfeeding, or maybe you have lost significant weight. These circumstances can have an impact on your figure, specifically your breasts. Or it could be that you have never been comfortable with small breasts, and would like to enjoy a larger size.

Once you decide to have the surgery you will need to locate a qualified plastic surgeon with experience in breast augmentation procedures. It is a good idea to interview more than one prospective plastic surgeon. The surgeon you select will require a complete medical history and will do an evaluation of your current health state. It is important that you have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery. Your surgeon will provide before and after pictures of procedures that he or she has performed. This can be of great benefit when trying to decide how much of an increase that you want.

During breast augmentation surgery, general anesthesia is required to help reduce discomfort. The size and shape of your breasts and other elements establish the means of insertion, and positioning of the implants. The location of the incision is contingent on the type of implant being used. Your surgeon will endeavor to make sure that the subsequent scar is well hidden and as tiny as possible.
