Many women in the Palm Beach area are sometimes unhappy with their bodies and feel that they can use a bit of improvement in certain places. Once of these areas is the area of the breasts. Palm Beach breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures out there but it may not be right for everyone. There are many different reasons why a woman may have this type of surgery, from making the breasts larger to giving them a more youthful looking shape. Some women may not have the symmetry that they feel they should and others may want smaller breasts. Regardless of the reasons, you should be sure to fully discuss them with a breast augmentation surgeon in Palm Beach.
Two Main Types of Breast Augmentation
There are two main types of breast augmentation out there: silicone and saline. Both of them have advantages and disadvantages, but one may be more in line with what you are looking for. Your surgeon will discuss this with you during a pre-surgical consultation. You will also talk about placement of implants, size of implants and what you should expect following surgery. You will generally also get a physical exam and the doctor will want to check the elasticity and tightness of the skin.
Not a Risk Free Procedure
Though breast augmentation is highly popular, it is not without risks and/or side effects. Any time you go under anesthesia, you are putting yourself at risk and with any type of surgical procedure, there is always the risk of infection. You should expect discomfort after you are done with the procedure, though your surgeon will surely give you pain medication as needed. Some women may have to wear a tight compression bra following the procedure and you may need to have drainage tubes that will need to be placed into the breast tissue. You will need to stay off your feet for a few days following your surgery but should be back to 100% in about 6 weeks following surgery.
By working with a qualified surgeon, you will be able to find out of this is a procedure that is right for you. Most women are extremely pleased with the outcome and generally feel better about themselves when all is said and done.
