Why You Should Consider Breast Augmentation

In Australia, breast augmentation is one of the most sought after aesthetic cosmetic surgeries. A lot of women seek the services of augmentation surgeons to get their breasts to a desired size. This surgery is also known as breast implant or breast enhancement surgery.

Breast enhancement involves placing of implants into the breast tissue by way of surgery. This is done by creating pockets in the breasts large enough for the implants to fit in. Such implants come in different shapes, sizes and types. You will choose your desired type with the help of your doctor before surgery.

Australia's Department of Health and Aging gives the following reasons why women undergo breast enhancement surgery:

1. Cosmetic reasons - Women with small-sized breasts may have low self esteem. This is one reason why they undergo surgery so that they can improve the size of their breasts. They say that full-bodied breasts give them a lot of confidence and improve their self esteem. Usually, these women undergo surgery after pregnancy and breastfeeding.

2. Replacement purposes - Some women undergo the procedure to replace already-existing implants. The implants may need replacement due to various adverse effects.

3. Correction - This is for women who have experienced congenital diseases. The procedure helps breasts gain a natural appearance.

4. Reconstruction - This is mainly in cases where a mastectomy is involved. Breast cancer survivors undergo surgery because they would want to have their breasts feel and look full, just as they did before their illness.

Is Breast Implantation Right for You?

Breast implantation can really enhance your appearance and make you look even more beautiful. But, is the surgery really right for you? Here are the factors you need to consider before you make a decision:

- Your goals- What is it that you want to achieve after surgery? Talk to your surgeon and clearly tell him/ her how you want the end result to be. Both of you should be on the same page regarding this so that you can be satisfied with the end result.

- Your motivations - What is it that is driving you to undergo surgery? Remember that this is a surgical procedure; therefore, it should be thought about carefully.

- The risks - Even good things come with risks. Hence, you need to find a professional augmentation surgeon from the Australian Society of Plastic Surgeons Inc (ASPS) to carry out the surgery. That way, the risks will be drastically reduced because such a surgeon will be highly experienced in the job.

If you are sure that you want to go ahead with surgery, well and good. Just keep all the above in mind before, during and after surgery.

As mentioned earlier, discuss with your surgeon in detail how you want the end product to be like and if you find a qualified surgeon to do the job for you, you can be sure that you will love it. You will walk out of the hospital more confident, happy and free from any adverse side effects. Moreover, you're sure to get true value for your money.
