Am
I a Good Candidate for Breast Enhancement Surgery?
If you complain
about any of the following, you might be an ideal candidate
for cosmetic breast enhancement surgery:
1. If you
feel that your breast are too small,
2. If clothing that
fits well in the hips is loose in your chest,
3. If you have difficulty
wearing bikinis or sportswear,
4. If your breasts
have lost their fullness or shrunk after giving birth,
5. If weight lose
has caused your breasts to change shape or grow smaller,
6. If one of your
breasts is noticeably smaller than the other.
Making
an Informed Decision
 Your
breasts will be examined prior to the plastic surgery procedure
and photographs may be taken. The size and shape of your
breasts, as well as your skin type and the location of your
nipples will be examined. If there is any sagging in your
breasts, we may recommend that a breast lift be performed
in addition to a breast implant. You will be asked about
your general health, drug allergies and past treatment and
operations, e.g. breast biopsy.
There is
no scientific evidence which indicates that breast implants
increase the risk of cancer. However, special techniques
may be required when a mammogram is performed. Breast implants
do not affect one's ability to have a normal pregnancy or
ability to nurse. Nor do breast implants pose a problem
for breast examinations you conduct yourself.
Surgery
The implant is placed
behind the breast tissue through an incision made around
the nipple. It may also be inserted through an incision
made in the crease under the breast or in the armpit. The
chamber where the implant will be placed can be prepared
either in front of or behind the pectoral muscle. After
surgery a small dressing will be applied and a bra will
be worn. It is possible to return home the same day. You
will be able to return to work in two or three days and
participate in all type of sporting events in three weeks.

Post-Surgery
Aspirin must
not be taken prior to and for 3 weeks following the surgery
due to increased risk of hemorrhaging.
What
Type of Implant Should Be Used?
Implants
vary depending on their contents, shape and surface properties.
Implants filled with saline or silicone gel are frequently
used. They may be either round or contoured. The surface
of breast implants may be either smooth or textured. There
are advantages and disadvantages to each of these different
characteristics. Your plastic surgeon will consider your
anatomic structure and existing breast shape as well as
your own personal desires when choosing the implant most
appropriate for you.
Your choice
of a plastic surgeon is very important. Incidence of hemorrhaging,
infection, delayed healing and asymmetry are very rare when
breast enhancement surgery is performed in a well-equipped
modern hospital by an experienced plastic surgeon. The body
surrounds the breast implant with a capsule of tissue. If
this capsule hardens or thickens it may squeeze the implant
causing it to move and, though rare, it is sometimes necessary
to reposition the implant with a second surgery.
Breast enhancement
surgery will give you fuller more regularly-shaped breasts.
This procedure, common the world over, will not only raise
your self-confidence, it will also make it possible for
you to wear a different style of clothing.
