BOOB JOB AND BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY

Boob job also referred to as breast enlargement or breast augmentation, is a surgical procedure to increase the size of your breasts, change their shape, or make them more even.

WHY DO YOU NEED BREAST IMPLANTS?

Before going into breast augmentation surgery, take a while to think about why you need this surgery. People have different reasons. The main reasons to undergo breast enlargement surgery are:

–  One main reason is to improve the appearance of small or uneven breasts.

–  Another main reason is to fill breast emptied after significant weight loss.

–  This procedure, if successful, can help you elevate your self-confidence.

–  People may also go for a boob job after breast surgery for other reasons in order to improve their aesthetic look.

These are a few reasons why most people undergo breast implant surgery. Consider your reason, set your goals, and discuss them with your surgeon. Your plastic surgeon should clearly understand your needs and expectations to provide you with what you want.

TYPES OF BREAST IMPLANTS

There are two types of breast implants mainly used for breast enlargement:

SILICONE IMPLANT

Silicone implant consists of a silicone shell filled with silicone gel.

SALINE IMPLANT

Saline implants contain a silicone shell filled with salt water (saline)

WHICH IMPLANT SHOULD YOU CHOOSE?

The choice of a silicone or a saline implant largely depends on your needs and goals. Most women who have undergone breast enlargement claim that silicone implants feel more like real breasts than a saline implant, but there is more risk associated with silicone implants if they leak.

The other factor which affects your choice for an implant is the cost of the implant. Silicone implants are more expensive, while saline implants are usually cost effective.

THE PROCEDURE OF BREAST ENLARGEMENT SURGERY

Breast augmentation or enlargement surgery takes 60-90 minutes.

Your surgeon will make an incision below the breast.

He will then position the implant in place.

Finally the surgeon will stitch the suture and will cover it with a dressing.

RECOVERY

The recovery period for breast implant surgery is a few weeks.

You should walk and move after the surgery.
