Breast Augmentation Surgery is a common Cosmetic Surgical procedure, performed thousands of times a year.
It is a very complex and difficult surgery with long healing times.
Many people consider Breast augmentation surgery every year and have a lot of questions about it.
So here, we have put together a short guide to the most common questions asked about this procedure.
Q: How do you know if Breast Augmentation Surgery is right for you? This is normally the first question asked by most women considering this operation.
This question is best addressed by your surgeon; he/she will make you aware of the best form of breast surgery that is most suitable for you.
Your surgeon should also make you aware and help you understand all the risks involved with any procedure they recommend.
Only you can decide whether the operation is right for you.
Your surgeon will help you achieve the results you so desire.
No guarantee can be offered, as all surgical operations have their own inherent possible risks.
The exact method of surgery is determined by the amount of loose skin you have in the breast.
It is up to you to weigh up the risks versus the potential gains of this cosmetic procedure.
Q: Scarring, will the scar be noticeable? Where will it be? Generally, the scar for breast implants is placed around the nipple, then from the nipple to the natural crease under the breast and along that crease.
Some Surgeries can be completed by making the incision under the arm, in the arm pit region.
Scars take time to fade and soften, it can take up to a year, yes a year, before you will see the final appearance of your scar.
It is quite normal for the first month or two to be red and raised after your operation.
It is advisable to ensure that you follow the guidelines set out by your surgeon to help minimise the scar over time.
Q: Breast lift, are implants needed? If the procedure you are planning on is a Breast lift, sometimes implants are needed to help support the new shape to the breast.
It is not all needed, just when too much volume has been lost.
These implants are not used for enlargement purposes, just to create shape and fullness to the breast.
These implants will carry the same risks as implants used for enlargement purposes.
Q: Will I be able to breast feed after a breast uplift? No, in most cases the milk ducts are cut when the breasts are being repositioned during the operation, preventing breast feeding in the future.
This is very important to know, if you are considering breast feeding at a later stage.
