Breast augmentation surgery is gaining popularity as more women are opting for it to enhance their appearance. The surgery involves the insertion of breast implants to increase the size, shape, and volume of the breasts. However, choosing the right size for breast implants can be a daunting task for many women. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides breast augmentation to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using breast implants. Breast implants are silicone shells filled with either saline or silicone gel. Saline breast implants are filled with sterile saltwater, while silicone breast implants are filled with silicone gel, a thick, sticky fluid that mimics the feel of human fat.
Breast augmentation surgery can help women achieve their desired breast size, improve their body image, and boost their self-confidence. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, and the incisions are made either around the nipple, under the breast, or in the armpit. After the incisions are made, the breast implants are inserted either under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle.
How To Prepare For Your Breast Augmentation Consultation
During the consultation, the surgeon will evaluate your health, medical history, and desired breast size to determine if you are a suitable candidate for breast augmentation.
To prepare for your consultation, you should research and choose a board-certified plastic surgeon with experience in breast augmentation surgery. You can ask for recommendations from family and friends or search for a surgeon online. Look for reviews, ratings, and before-and-after photos of the surgeon’s work to ensure you choose a reputable surgeon.
During the consultation, you should come prepared with a list of questions for the surgeon. You should also bring photos of breasts that you find appealing to help the surgeon understand your desired breast size and shape. The surgeon will also take measurements of your breasts, chest, and nipple placement to help determine the appropriate breast implant size for your body.
How To Pick Your Breast Implant Size
Choosing the right breast implant size is crucial for achieving the desired results of breast augmentation surgery. There are several factors to consider when picking your breast implant size, such as body type, breast shape, and personal preference.
One way to choose your breast implant size is to try on different implant sizers during your consultation. The surgeon will provide you with a range of implant sizes to try on over your clothes or a bra. You can also bring a tight-fitting top to wear during the sizing process. The implant sizers will give you a better idea of how the different implant sizes will look and feel on your body.
It is important to communicate your desired breast size and shape with your surgeon. However, it is also essential to listen to your surgeon’s recommendations based on your body type and measurements. Your surgeon will help you choose a breast implant size that is proportionate to your body and complements your natural breast shape.
Why Board Certification Matters
Board certification is an essential factor to consider when choosing a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation surgery. Board-certified plastic surgeons have undergone rigorous training and testing to ensure they have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform safe and effective surgeries.
To become board certified, a plastic surgeon must complete a minimum of six years of surgical training, including a residency in plastic surgery. They must also pass a comprehensive written exam and an oral exam to demonstrate their expertise in plastic surgery.
By choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon, you can ensure that your surgeon has the necessary skills and training to perform breast augmentation surgery safely and effectively. You can also trust that your surgeon will prioritize your safety and well-being throughout the surgical process.
By following these tips, you can ensure that you achieve your desired breast size and shape safely and effectively. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bryson Richards provides breast augmentation to patients in Las Vegas, NV, and surrounding locations.
