Breast enhancement is a popular, major elective surgery, and while it can boost your self-image, it's not without its own specific risks and problems. Before having any sort of breast enhancement, carefully weigh your options and do your research so that there are no unpleasant surprises before, during or after your surgery. Find a doctor willing to be your partner in your dream for breast enhancement to bring about the best results.
Do Your Homework
Do some careful research about the procedure, your options, and the doctors. Too often, women are simply tempted by the confidence they think they'll get from their breast enhancement, and don't take the time to look into the best materials for implants, problems that occur, how often the surgery needs to be redone and choose a good doctor. Take the time to research all of these. Visit the links found in the Resources section for more in-depth information about breast enhancement.
Choose a Doctor
Because breast enhancement is such a major surgery, choose a doctor you feel comfortable with, who has the expertise and the results you want. Interview at least three doctors before you choose one. Ask each one about past problems they've encountered, about their procedures, and ask to see before-and-after pictures of their patients. Talk about what you hope to gain from the procedure, and beware of doctors who try and pressure you into bigger implants or more of a lift than you hoped. Your doctor should listen carefully to what you want, and explain how she'll deliver.
Be Realistic
While you may see pictures in magazines of celebrities with large breasts or perfect bodies, be realistic about the procedure and how it will change your image. Think about the size you want. Choose one that you'll be comfortable with, and that matches your level of activity on a normal day. Don't expect your breast enhancement to change your life drastically. Be realistic about the time it will take you to recover, and make sure your place of employment, family and friends all know that you'll be recovering for two to four weeks. Finally, know that breast enhancement surgeries can be unsuccessful, and that you need to see your plastic surgeon for a follow-up appointment four to six weeks after the procedure is done. See him also if your breasts change, harden or become more tender after the surgery, as these can be signs of infection.
