Breast Augmentation Benefits

Breast augmentation surgery can balance your unevenly shaped breasts. It also works for breast enlargement and can restore the shape, fullness and firmness of your breast, in order to give a more natural look - most especially when you just had a pregnancy or an extreme weight loss. It also can improve breast ptosis and perfect for those who had mastectomy.

Types of Breast Implants

The two most common types of artificial inserts to choose from are saline and silicone implants. When it comes to cost, saline and silicone implants have minimal differences. Saline implants are filled with salt water or saline solution while silicone implants are filled with viscous gel.

Getting ready

All patients are required to follow three things:

Exercise and eat a well-balanced diet
Quit smoking and alcohol drinking
Have someone to assist you right after the surgery
Listen and follow to all instructions of your surgeon

Convalescence

Here are some tips that will ease the recuperation process:

Always keep your head elevated
Scars will fade away eventually, so do not be too concerned on them.
Wear bra for the first few weeks for proper support and healing.
Take medications sincerely. Some medications may cause nausea. Drink lots of water and maintain a proper diet to ease the problem.
Get enough rest and sleep. All patients are advised to take a leave from work for one to two weeks.

Breast augmentation surgery will build and restore your self-confidence. All you need is to trust your surgeon and be cooperative especially before the operation and during the healing process. These two stages are very significant in having a successful breast augmentation surgery.
