Everyone wants to be the best version of themself. This can lead to a lot of self-esteem issues and cause you to feel like you are not as attractive or healthy, or envied as others. Trying to find what can make you happy with your appearance can be tough. You might not be sure if you want to lose weight, or gain muscle, or change your hair, there are a lot of ways you can improve your physical looks to finally feel happy. One that is incredibly popular is breast enhancement.
The problem with breast enhancement is that not many people truly understand it. It is not just about having a more noticeable bust, it can be done to help with those self-confidence issues, or it can help for health reasons as well. Breast enhancement might be something to look into if you think it could truly help your situation out, but you want to be educated on this procedure before you commit to spending any money or go under the knife. Here are some important things to know about breast enhancement.
Enhancing the chest for women is often considered to be done to simply have a larger set of breasts, but that is not always the case. While a breast enlargement procedure is primarily done for this reason, and it is a valid way to improve your image if you so choose, it can also be done to help out with certain problems. Reshaping the breasts can help take off stress on your back, or it can help fix any irregularities in breasts. While it is popular to get breast surgery to make them larger, it is not always just about what you see.
You have probably heard or seen plenty of evidence as to breast surgery being a potentially horrible experience, but surgery in this area has been improving significantly, which is making it safer and better for the patients. There are plenty of technological innovations with high-strength cohesive silicone gel (HCS) that is much stronger than previous silicone breast enhancers. There are even some possible non-procedural options with supplements. Similarly, there are better options to mimic a more natural breast shape and feel. These look like teardrops when successfully implanted and make it harder to tell that they are there. All of these new options are making it much safer.
While the surgery and procedures involving breast enhancement are getting much safer and more efficient/effective, there are still risks that can be present. Some of these complications include infection, improper procedures that lead to asymmetry in the implants, noticeable scarring, implant leaks, and overly painful or sensitive implant areas. These are not something that should dissuade you from getting this procedure if you feel it can help with whatever you need it for, but it is important to note that breast enhancement procedures are still susceptible to potential issues like any kind of operation.
Another important factor in getting a good experience from your breast enhancement surgery is finding the right doctor for you. Not all breast enhancement doctors are medical board-certified, which could be a concern if they have no backing, but sometimes it could be a non-issue if they have excellent reviews. You should always check out what former patients have said about your potential doctor to see what they liked and didn’t like. See what kind of options they can provide for you when it comes to implants so you have more options out of silicone or silica, which could make your experience much better. Check if they have a social media presence as well to find testimonials and evidence of their work.
Breast enhancement surgery is not as expensive as it once was, which is good news, but the bad news is that it isn’t exactly cheap. Compared to many other types of surgeries or procedures, breast enhancement can be decently priced, but you should still expect it to be just shy of $4000. The problem with this cost is that it is often not covered by health insurance because it is still considered a primarily cosmetic operation. This is unfortunate as you would rather not want to spend that money out of pocket, but it is not as bad as it seems in the grand scheme of things.
A breast enhancement surgery is not a one-step process, and you’re done. You will need to return to get your implants replaced after roughly 12 years, as the body will change in that time. Things that can impact how short or long it is between your initial procedure and when you need to replace the implants include weight gain or loss, gravity, breastfeeding, and other changes to your physical body, especially with regards to your breasts. As mentioned earlier, the risks of a breast enhancement procedure would also require you to return to fix any complications. This gives you plenty of time to save up for the new set of implants, and 12 years on average is plenty of time to get used to your implants.
Lastly, you probably want to know how long you are going to be out of action. Recovering from breast enhancement surgery is quite quick, and you can expect to return to your regular routine, like work, in about a week. It can be shorter, like five days, if your body accepts the procedure well, but it does not take long to recover. Still, you shouldn’t be doing exercise for a longer period (four to six weeks) of time as this can harm the healing process. For the most part, the recovery is quick and easy when you follow your doctor’s guidelines.
Getting a breast enhancement procedure is not just about self-esteem. While you might want to improve your chest area, it could be for other reasons like the health of your back. Whatever reasons for your breast enhancement intrigue, these are some useful questions you might have had.
