Choosing to have plastic surgery is an important decision especially
breast augmentation surgery. Breast augmentation using saline breast implants or silicone breast implants is one of the most commonly requested aesthetic operations. Breast enhancement surgery is the enlargement of breast volume by the surgical placement of a saline breast implant, silicone breast implant or cohesive gel breast implant ( 410 implant ) .
Most women undergo this type of plastic surgery because they want to feel better about their appearance. Women choose to have breast augmentation surgery to improve their self image. Some feel dissatisfied because their breasts never developed to a size that meets their expectations. Others want to bring balance to a breast that is somewhat smaller than the other. Differences in size between the right and left breasts can be improved with the use of breast implants. Often women want the breast augmentation procedure to restore their natural breast volume, which may have decreased as a result of pregnancy, weight loss, aging or even breast cancer surgery.
During your initial consultation with your local plastic surgeon, you will be encouraged to discuss your desires, fears, expectations, and goals. The first and foremost objective is the creation of breasts that you envision yourself with. In addition to increasing breast size, your plastic surgeon will strive to create a more aesthetically pleasing breast by improving shape, balance, and proportion.
Depending on the desired shape, your plastic surgeon may choose a round or contoured implant for breast augmentation. Round breast implants tend to produce a more rounded appearance to the upper breast. Shaped breast implants are designed to reflect the slope of the breast.
