The size of your breasts is largely predetermined due to genetic factors but can of course be affected by changes in your weight, changes in the level of your hormones, pregnancy and of course breast feeding.
There could be many reasons for considering breast enlargement surgery – Asymmetry (whereby one breast is significantly bigger than the other), you may simply feel that your breast are too small or perhaps you consider them to be out of proportion for the size and shape of your body.
Whatever the reason, breast enlargement surgery could be an option, but what does it involve, what should you look out for and what are the risks?
You should of course look for an accredited surgeon and there are 2 widely respected associations; BAPRAS (British Association of Plastic Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons) and BAAPS (British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons). You should look for surgeons who are members of one, the other or both. This will ensure your procedure runs as smoothly as possible and the risks are reduced.
Once you have found a suitable surgeon you will be asked to attend a consultation, you should usually be asked to have blood test and possibly a Mammogram to make sure everything is ok before you go ahead with the procedure.
The procedure itself is carried out under a general anaesthetic and the implant is inserted through an incision site (you will usually be given a choice of sites) and then placed under the skin and breast tissue or a little deeper under the breast muscle. You will be a given a choice of implants and the surgeon will go through the pro's and con's of each and the same with the incision sites.
You should be aware that there are risks as with any medical procedure and these are as follows; with the general anaesthetic there are minute risks of blood clots or chest infections. With the operation itself there is the risk of bleeding, red/raised/lumpy scars, encapsulation of the breast implant which can result in hard and painful breast and a few other very minor side effects. A good cosmetic surgeon will make you fully aware of any risks, however minor, during the consultation process so you can make a fully informed decision.
If you are considering cosmetic surgery such as breast enlargement surgery, make sure you search for an accredited surgeon. This will guarantee that the breast augmentation procedure runs safely and smoothly.
