Crucial Decisions before Breast

Augmentation Surgery

If you are planning to have breast augmentation surgery, you need to make some

crucial decisions in consultation with your plastic surgeon. This is important for

optimal results in line with your expectations. These decisions involve things such as

choosing the right type of breast implant, deciding where to place the implant,

and the location of the incision.

Choosing the implant involves many related decisions. Firstly, the choice has to be

made from saline, silicone or gummy bear implants. Next, you would have to select

from among low profile, moderate, high and ultra-high profile styles which will

determine how the results will look. Also, you have to decide whether you prefer

round or teardrop shaped implants and whether they should have a smooth surface

or textured surface.

In implant placement, the decision has to be made as to whether it should be placed

under the muscle or over it. The submuscular option offers a more natural slope in

the upper part of the breast and assures fewer complications like capsular

contracture and visible rippling. Professional athletes, fitness competitors and women

who want to see a lift generally opt for placement over the muscle.

There are four incision choices for breast implant surgery. Though incisions are

generally made to minimize visible scarring, they would vary depending on the type

of implant, desired size, anatomical considerations, and patient-surgeon preference.

The inframammary incision is the most popular as offers the quickest recovery, is

concealed in the fold, and has the lowest risk of capsular contracture. With a

periareolar incision, the scar would be around the bottom half of the areola. In the

transaxillary option, the incision is made in the armpit and in transumbilical; it is

through the belly button.

When it comes to making the right decisions about this cosmetic surgical procedure,

a qualified, experienced surgeon can prove the best guide. Surgeons in leading

practices use 3D technology to simulate the results of the procedure which greatly

enhances the decision-making process. You get a chance to preview the outcome of

your decision with 3D images of your body and this would help you and your surgeon

plan the procedure to ensure an optimal outcome.

Regardless of your choices, it is crucial to have realistic expectations about the

outcome of the breast augmentation procedure. The FDA cautions that implants

are not lifetime devices and come with common complications such as risk of

contracture and rippling. Moreover, if you have implants, you will need to monitor

breast appearance for the rest of your life.
