Four Need to Knows Before Breast Augmentation

For most women, they have a love/hate relationship with the size and shape of their breasts. Although the primary function of breasts is to feed our newborns, breasts have become a symbol of femininity, beauty, and sex appeal. However, it’s rare for women to feel confident about their breasts, whether they are too small, too big, or asymmetrical.

Additionally, breasts can go through many changes over time, whether it be due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or aging. Fortunately, breast augmentation near Boston, MA, the most popular cosmetic procedure among women, transform women’s bodies and boosted their self-esteem. There are a few things to consider before choosing breast augmentation for your aesthetic needs.

1. Bigger is Not Always Better

   If your friend recently underwent a breast augmentation with a particular type and size of the implant, and you want results just like hers, you most likely won’t have the same implants or techniques to achieve your ideal goals. To help find the best options for your unique anatomy, Dr. Hall will have a scheduled comprehensive consultation with you to determine the type of implants, the size, shape, and placement that will achieve optimal results.
3. There are Different Incision Options
   Depending on the type and size of implant you choose, there will be various incision options. All incisions are made meticulously and within natural folds of your breasts. The most common incision placement is under the breast fold, or an inframammary incision, which is easily covered by articles of clothing.
4. Breast Augmentation is an Individualized Procedure
   Every patient seeking a breast augmentation brings new and unique cases. Dr. Hall never makes generalizations about breast augmentations or prevailing trends because it’s an entirely personal choice. Although one woman would like to increase just one cup size, another woman may request larger-than-life, and apparently fake results.

In any case of plastic surgery, patients should always seek advice from a board-certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Hall.
