What Do You Expect From A Breast Surgery?
The breast is a vital part of the female body; it's shape, size
and perception affects the self-esteem and confidence of a
woman. This perhaps is the reason for the surge in the number of
women going for breast enlargement surgery, clinically known as
Augmentation Mamoplasty, in recent times. Records have it that
breast enlargement surgery is the third commonest type of
cosmetic surgery performed in the United States and the number
of women undergoing breast augmentation has increased over
twenty percent in the last couple of years.
Despite the apparent risk involved with breast enlargement and
the obvious adverse effects, the number of people undergoing
this surgery has always been on the rise. Breast enlargement
surgery could cause breast pain, breast hardness or numbness in
the nipples that won't go away for months or in some cases,
years. It could cause infections that would warrant the removal
of the implant, until the infection is cleared. The implant
could leak or rupture, wrinkle or change in shape resulting in
more surgery to correct or remove the faulty implant. It is even
said that the presence of implant in a breast makes it
technically difficult to detect cancerous growth in the breast
with a mammogram. Yet all these reasons haven't caused women to
reconsider their quest for a better breast through surgery. One
therefore wonders what these women expect to get from breast
enlargement surgery.
Modern society places so much emphasis on body shapes, curves
and looks and this seem to be the driving factor in most
cosmetic surgery. Most women want to look like the women they
see in movies or magazines. We all have an idea of what an ideal
body should look like, but in most cases, these imaginings can
never be transferred to reality, no matter how hard we
manoeuvre, adapt or change the natural body shape, there is a
limit to what can be achieved with cosmetics.
With breast enlargement surgery, for instance, it is important
to state here that the results that you get after surgery may
not necessarily correspond to what you have in mind as the ideal
breast shape. The procedure will definitely improve breast
shape, size, look and perhaps, firmness. But it is better to
have a realistic expectation from the procedure. The outcome of
breast enlargement surgery depends on so many individual
factors, hence the difference in the results you get, meaning
that you are not very likely to come out looking like your ideal
Hollywood figure. The more realistic your expectations, the more
fulfilled you will be after the procedure.
The outcome of a breast enlargement surgery would depend on
factors like health, the structure of your chest, shape of your
body, the type of surgical procedure and the size of implant.
Prior experience with breast surgery and the skill and
experience of the surgical team would also play a role in the
end result.
The bottom line is that, though most women find their self
esteem, courage, confidence and social acceptance after a breast
enlargement procedure, you are more likely to be better off
after the surgery if you expect less from the procedure. There
is nothing as heart breaking as spending a few grand of your
hard earned money only to discover that you didn't really get
what you expected. If breast surgery is what you want, then go
for it, but be reasonable in what you expect from it.
