Cosmetic Surgery Preparation

By Kay Capitano

Perhaps more now than ever, women are choosing to alter or enhance the way they look. They feel better about themselves and their appearance. Leading the way in procedures is breast augmentation surgery.

Breast augmentation is done by surgically implanting a breast implant either beneath breast tissue, or above the breast muscle. The implants come in a variety of shapes and sizes and various types of material. The implants are inserted surgically through different incision locations and positions.

Breast augmentation surgery is a major surgery. Choosing the right surgeon is of paramount importance. Try to get references from friends and relatives to give yourself a starting point in choosing a surgeon.

It is advised that you consult only board certified plastic surgeons to answer all your questions about new cosmetic-surgery techniques. You can also discuss your expectations and the benefits and risks associated with each type of breast augmentation.

You and your surgeon, together, should make decisions about the type of implant, the incision location and the implant placement, as your unique anatomy and body makeup plays a major role in these decisions.

If you cannot get comfortable about speaking with your doctor it might be wise to choose another. Ask about complications, procedures options and as hypothetical questions. It is at this time that you are completely open and honest with your doctor.

The more prepared you are for your procedure the better prepared you will be with recovery.

Recovering from breast augmentation surgery is normally achieved in a few weeks. Restoring your self-esteem begins immediately. Very few women are unhappy with the decision to have breast augmentation surgery. Just make sure you prepare yourself for the process - 16004
