Read this article to hone your knowledge of breast augmentation. Find out about important points about the procedure by following the ABCs.
Asymetry is one of the risks that accompanies breast augmentation surgery is the chance that the final product is asymmetrical. This risk can be greatly reduced by choosing a plastic surgeon that is board-certified and has extensive experience in implant placement techniques. Take the time to view many before and after photos at your doctor's office to ensure you will be happy with the results.
Bacteria: As with any invasive procedure, the risk of infection during or after breast augmentation surgery is present. Be sure to report any increase in redness, inflammation or swelling to your physician. They may prescribe a course of antibiotics to kill the bacteria before it spread systemically or compromises wound healing.
Cup size: Carefully consider what sort of implant size you would like and discuss the pros and cons with your doctor. He or she may even be able to provide temporary inserts to place in your bra and wear around for a week to help determine how big you want to go.
Doctor: As noted above, choosing a doctor that you trust and can comfortably air your questions and concerns with is a must. Take the time to interview several doctors and visit a few clinics before your breast augmentation surgery.
Estimate: When budgeting your breast augmentation surgery, get a good estimate from the clinic to determine how much it will cost. Be sure to include any downtime you might require from work during the recovery period in your budget.
Fun: Have fun showing off your new figure in a skimpy bikini or lingerie. Breast augmentation incisions are now very small and placed in hidden locations to minimize scarring and maximize a natural look.
Growth: Consider postponing or holding off on this type of procedure if you are planning to get pregnant or anticipate weight loss or gain in the near future. Skin sags when it is stretched and we naturally lose the elasticity to help it bounce back as we age. Gaining a lot of weight or breastfeeding may compromise the results of your surgery.
Help: It is important to take it easy during the recovery period. Avoid vigorous sexual activity or exercise for at least 6 weeks. Consider enlisting the help of a friend or family member while your incisions heal. They will be able to do any heavy lifting that you might need while you enjoy much-needed relaxation on the couch.
Incision: Incision sites are very small with new breast augmentation techniques. This results in minimal scarring and enables you to wear the skimpiest of bikinis or lingerie.
Jiggle: Be sure to discuss the differences between saline and silicone implant materials with your plastic surgeon. He or she should be able to tell you the fundamental differences between the two when it comes to how they feel and move. Women have different reasons for choosing this type of surgery and many have different preferences when it comes to natural looking or feeling implant materials.

Be sure to report any increase in redness, inflammation or swelling to your physician.
