TheThings Celebrity Women and You Need to Know About Breast Implants and Augmentation

Fame very often has a high price to pay not commonly known by the public. The price celebrities pay is not so much a financial one, as they fight to compete with age and imperfections in a beauty based market. Cosmetic procedures run rampant in cities full of the rich and famous such as Los Angeles and Miami. Breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures in this area. However, both celebrities and the everyday woman can do a lot to minimize the risks, and therefore ensure you get the best results. The steps you take are the same, be you a celebrity or not. The main thing to emphasize is that you should do a lot of research before getting any operation done, and a Breast Augmentation is no exception. You should especially check out the credentials of your doctor. Cosmetic and reconstructive surgery is not something you want to bargain shop for. Make sure that your physician is a board certified plastic surgeon. There is a web site that you can visit Board Certified Plastic Surgeons Referral Association at www.bcpsra.com to make an informed choice on a plastic surgeon. Fortunately, the Internet is full of information about all forms of Breast Surgery, so time spent researching the subject by some well targetted surfing is definitely time well spent. Just on the subject of Breast Implants alone, you could spent many hours reading the information that is available. It is only when you start looking that you realise just how many decisions need to be made before deciding on which implant and positioning will be right for you. The many options that are open to you cover choices such as: 1. Implant positioning (above or below the chest muscle). 2. Implant incision (breast crease, nipple, armpit, navel) 3. Implant type (saline or silicone) 4. Implant surface (smooth or textured) 5. Implant shape (round or shaped) 6. Implant profile (high, moderate or low) 7. Implant size and volume (probably the most controversial decision!) It is important that you get all of these right in the first place if you do not want to find yourself with breasts that you are not happy with, and then start thinking about a subsequent operation to get it right (as so often seems to happen to celebrities). A good surgeon will help you to make the right decision, but at the end of the day it is not the surgeon that must live with the results, it is YOU, so it is important to get it right! Therefore do not just sit back and let someone else make the decisions for you. Understand what is available and the implications of chosing a particular implant. Do not be misled by what others think. You are doing this for yourself alone, so make the right decision that you know you will be comfortable with. Many people look down on cosmetic surgery, but few people realize how much it can help a person's state of mind. When people are more confident about themselves they are more confident in life, and cosmetic and reconstructive surgery helps this happen. Around 90% of women are unhappy with their uppermost statistic. So if an opportunity arises for you to change it for the better - what are you waiting for?
