The Most Important Breast Enlargement Issues


The breast enlargement procedure is usually done with the use breast implants in order to increase the volume and projection of the breasts or to improve their symmetry. Adult women of all ages can benefit from this medical intervention if they want to restore the consistency of their breasts. It is recommended that breasts are fully developed before performing breast augmentation.


A woman motivated by a desire to have larger breasts will be mostly satisfied with the results obtained after the breast enlargement surgery. The best candidates for this procedure are patients with a good health state, without suffering from any medical condition that can influence the healing process. In addition to this, smoking should be avoided as much as possible in order to obtain the desired results.


Breast enlargement is achieved by using implants with a smooth texture, filled with silicone gel or a saline substance. The type and volume of the breasts are important factors, but the surgeon's experience should never be ignored as well. It is important for every patient to know that breast implants do not influence the health of the breasts. Scientific research has revealed that there is no link between breast implants and auto-immune diseases, systemic diseases or breast cancer.


On the other hand, breast implants are not guaranteed for life and another medical intervention might be required at a certain point. In addition to this, pregnancy, weight loss and menopause may influence the appearance of the breasts.


It is recommended that a breast ultrasound or mammography is performed before the intervention, in order to determine the health state of the breasts. After breast augmentation, mammography is technically difficult. Women who have breast implants should inform physicians of their existence in any examination of the breasts.


Possible risks of breast enlargement include hemorrhage, infections, and poor healing of incisions, scars and dizziness. Capsular contracture is also possible and may require surgery. Finally, as in any surgery, there are also some risks associated with anesthesia. After surgery is over, incisions are covered and a special bra is applied to reduce swelling. The initial phase of healing may include inflammation and general discomfort in the area of the incisions.


The initial wound healing takes between one and two weeks, when the suture threads will be extracted. The patient can resume normal activities and work as long as there is no great physical effort involved.

Breast augmentation results are visible immediately. The end results are progressive in the coming weeks, reducing swelling, breast volume and shape.
