The Breast Augmentation Guide

Augmentation of the breast consists of insertion of a silicone bag (prosthesis) under the breast (submammary) or under the breast and chest muscle (subpectoral) and then filling the bag with saline (salt water). This prosthesis expands the breast area to give a fuller breast (increased cup size), give a better contour, and give more cleavage.

Many women decide to undergo breast augmentation surgery for many personal reasons:

- Natural breast size does not meet expectations
- Personal desire to enhance bust line
- Dramatic weight loss, childbirth, or age has changed the shape of breasts

The first issue that a woman who is interested in breast augmentation surgery must address is whether or not she is an ideal candidate for the procedure.

Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won’t necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your plastic surgeon. The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you’re physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a very good candidate for breast augmentation.

How It’s Done

There are many different types of implants and techniques available for women seeking breast augmentation; therefore surgery will be different from case to case. The one thing that they have in common, however, is that they are performed under general anesthesia, or, in rare cases, local anesthesia with a heavy sedative, and can be performed as an outpatient procedure or in a hospital as an inpatient procedure. Surgery can last between 1 and 2 hours.

The basics of the surgery is this: the physician will make an incision, position the implant into the desired placement, and then stitch together the skin where the incision was made. There are three variables that can determine the results and success of surgery: type of implant, site of incision and placement of implant.
