Breast Augmentation Surgery, Is It Suitable For You?
By Julie Walker
Before deciding to undergo any breast surgery, it is important to have a clear knowledge on what is to be done, the benefits, the possible risks and after effects.
As recommended by Yvonne Lee in her book "To All Women Who Want To Enhance Their Breasts Naturally, But Don't Know How To Start", it is best to seek several consultations with different surgeons as different surgeons might be using different techniques, have different opinions, and will have different aesthetic preferences.
Let's take a closer look at breast augmentation surgery.
Breast augmentation is technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a women's breast for several reasons. The reasons could be to enhance the body contour of a women who feels that her breast size is too small; to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy; to balance a difference in breast size; or even as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.
Each patient should understand that in every surgery, pain and discomfort would be included. As every individual has different body constitutes, they will need to spent different amount of time on their recovery process, this would results in a loss of time from work and other activities. As all surgical procedures produce scars, it is important to be very sure of what your decision is before proceeding, as the scar is permanent.
After the surgery, it is best to have someone to drive you home and take care of you for at least 24 hours. You must take note not to drive for at least 3 days. A patient must not take aspirin, Ibuprofen or high doses of Vitamin E for two weeks before and after the surgery, as it will cause bleeding.
The patient will need to be physically healthy and has realistic expectations to be a best candidate.
The incision made during the surgery to insert and position your implants, will be placed resulting in the scars being as inconspicuous as possible. The incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meet the chest, around the areola, or in the armpit.
Your breast tissue and skin will be lifted to create a pocket, either directly behind the breast tissue or underneath your chest wall muscle. The implants will then be centered beneath your nipples.
Some surgeons believe that placing the implants behind your chest muscle is a better choice as it reduces the potential for capsular contracture and will also interfere less with breast examination like mammogram. Placement behind the muscle however, may be more painful for a few days after surgery than placement directly under the breast tissue.
Stitches are used to close the incisions, which may also be taped for greater support. A gauze bandage may be applied over your breasts to help with healing.
Several risks and complications could occur after the breast augmentation surgery. We will now elaborate more about the risks of using a saline-filled implants. The more common risks of using saline-filled implants are deflation; more difficulty in finding breast cancer; and possibility of developing capsular contracture (hardness and/or pain due to the tightening of scar tissue).
Other known risks would be calcium deposits (occasionally, these need to be removed surgically); additional surgeries (there is a fairly high chance for the need to replace or remove the implant); infection (implant may need to be removed); hematoma (collection of blood that may need to be drained surgically); delayed wound healing (in rare instances, the implant could push out through the skin); changes in feeling in the nipple and breast (increased or decreased, temporary or permanent, may effect nursing); and shifting of the implants.
A number of complications include bleeding (may require additional surgery and/or transfusion); neuroma (temporary or permanent painful areas in the breast, may require additional surgery); excess scarring (thicker, wider, longer, different in complexion, or painful); asymmetry of Breasts (size and shape may change); sagging of the Breasts; and allergies or unexpected responses to anesthetic agents, medications, skin preparations, or dressings used.
Because of concerns that there is insufficient information demonstrating the safety of silicone gel-filled breast implants, the Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has determined that new gel-filled implants, at the present time, should be available only to women participating in approved studies. Some women requiring replacement of the implants may also be eligible to participate in the study.
A number of online web site functions commercially, this make it possible for them not to disclose all information about the complications and risks of breast surgery. It is important to collate information from different sources as it could aid in your final decision-making.
You may want to consider and try natural breast enhancement before spending money and risks the implication going for breast enhancement surgeries.
