Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in America. Due to the way it can enhance your confidence along with your body, its popularity isn’t much of a surprise. But what exactly is breast augmentation, and what are the benefits you can look forward to? Let’s take a look at this life-changing procedure.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure used to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. It’s done for a variety of reasons, from wanting to address asymmetry to wanting to look better in clothes.
During your initial consultation, you’ll discuss your goals and any concerns you have with Dr. Ellen. She’ll also discuss incision options, implant options, choice of placement, and more so you’ll know exactly what to expect during and after surgery.
The Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Beyond the noticeable changes in the size of your breasts, breast augmentation offers a multitude of other benefits, including:
- Boosted Self-Esteem: A positive body image is intrinsically linked to your overall confidence. Achieving your desired look can significantly upgrade your self-esteem.
- Increased Wardrobe Opportunities: Many of our patients enjoy the freedom of selecting clothes that they might have previously felt uncomfortable wearing.
- Address Asymmetry: Breast augmentation can often address breast asymmetry, allowing patients to feel more comfortable with their bodies.
- Long-lasting Results: With breast implants, you can expect to enjoy the results for 10-20 years. At that point, it’s recommended you replace them with new implants.
Recovery for Breast Augmentation
Though it can vary from person to person, recovery times often fall between one to two weeks. During this time, our team will ensure you have all the post-operative advice and instructions you need for a smooth recovery. You’ll want to rest as much as possible, keep your incisions clean, and avoid strenuous activity. It will likely take about six weeks until you see the final results.
