Breast Augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery in California and, as polls have found, it remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States. But what is it about breast augmentation that is makes it so perennially popular? To get a better idea, let’s take a look at what breast augmentation by a skilled plastic surgeon can do for you.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
The benefits depend on the woman and her reasons for undergoing the surgery, but they can include:
- Repairing the damage done during a mastectomy.
- Balancing out an out-of-proportion figure, particularly for women with larger hips, thighs, and buttocks.
- Rejuvenating breasts that have begun to sag due to age or pregnancy.
- Breast augmentation can “make up the difference” for a woman who has one breast that is obviously smaller than the other.
- And of course, no matter what reason a woman has for undergoing breast augmentation, her confidence is bound to get a boost after the surgery.
But the popularity of breast augmentation cannot be explained solely by its benefits; at least some of its attractiveness stems from the fact that, in the hands of a skilled Cosmetic Surgeon, breast augmentation is a relatively routine surgery that gives patients a number of Treatment Options.
Treatment Options:
- All breast implants include a silicone casing, but you can choose to have your implants filled with either silicone or saline (saltwater).
- Your doctor can insert your breast implants in the following places: in the fold between the breast and the ribcage, around the areola, through the underarm, or through the bellybutton. Not all of these insertion methods are possible with silicone implants.
- Many people believe that silicone “feels more natural,” but saline implants are more versatile when it comes to incision options because they are not pre-filled. Because they can be inserted in so many different areas, getting saline implants can mean less obvious scarring.
- Recovery is relatively quick, usually taking a week or so post-op, but exercise is a no-go for at least six weeks.
