Breast augmentation surgery continues to be the most popular surgical procedure available today. Numerous patients visit our Philadelphia, PA cosmetic surgery center to learn more about silicone and saline implants and whether or not they are ideal for their needs.
Below, we want to list a few common signs that breast augmentation may be the right option for you. During a visit to Jefferson Plastic Surgery, you can discuss your cosmetic goals in greater detail with Dr. Steven E. Copit, Dr. Patrick J. Greaney, Jr., and Dr. Matthew P. Jenkins.
You Feel Self-Conscious About the Size of Your Breasts
The primary reason many women undergo breast augmentation surgery is that they feel self-conscious about the size and/or shape of their breasts. This can make finding tops, undergarments, and bathing suits extremely difficult. It can also have negative effects on your body image and self-esteem.
Your Breasts Are Asymmetrical
Breast asymmetry is related to the above issues with breast size. If your breasts are unevenly shaped or sized, this can lead to self-consciousness about what you’re wearing and how you look. Breast implants are one method of evening out the size and shape of the breasts.
You’re in Good Physical Health
In order to get breast implants, patients should be in good overall physical health. Getting breast implants should not pose a risk to overall well-being. This is why why we discuss medical history and current health issues as part of the consultation process.
You Understand the Risks and Benefits
All surgeries have risks and benefits that patients need to carefully consider. As part of the breast augmentation consultation, we’ll be sure to discuss all of the potential complications of surgery so you know what to expect. Weighing the benefits and risks of breast implants allow patients to make confident decisions about surgery and have realistic expectations of the results.
You’ve Considered the Different Surgical Techniques
There are different ways of performing breast augmentation surgery so it can be tailored to the needs of patients. There are different types of breast implant fillings, sizes, and shapes to choose from so patients can achieve their aesthetic goals. The implant type will also determine the location of surgical incisions as well as their size. Silicone implants will require different placement methods than saline implants, for instance. Saline implants will allow incisions to be entirely hidden in the armpit or belly button for some patients.
We will be sure to discuss all of these options to help you understand the procedure.
The Decision Is Entirely Your Own
Most importantly, breast augmentation is ideal for you and your needs if it is entirely your own decision. You should not feel pressured by others into undergoing any sort of elective procedure. This is your body and your life, and the ultimate decision to get breast implants should be yours alone.
