The Advancements of Breast Augmentation Surgery

The Art of Making Breast Implants Look Natural

With advancements in breast augmentation surgery, now is a great time for women who are considering breast augmentation surgery. While women may desire the surgery for different reasons, many boil it down to wanting to gain back confidence and achieve an aesthetically pleasing look. Some women may find themselves with breasts that are smaller than they’d like or not shaped as they wish. Others want to achieve a more balanced look of the two breasts. Advancements have been made by surgeons to help achieve the results that women crave. There is now more than ever an emphasis on getting results that look as natural as possible, and women are looking for all sizes of implants. Women also may seek implants if they have lost some of the size or shape after breastfeeding their child(ren). There are new developments in technique and implant type that make now a great time to consider breast augmentation surgery.

As always, it is most important that before you go under the surgical knife, you make sure that you are working with a certified and experienced surgeon. Working with a surgeon who is educated and experienced will allow you to feel comfortable during the surgery and help you feel confident going in knowing your surgery is catered to you. Having a surgeon who is experienced will also be able to give you clear directions for the best recovery post-surgery.

There is more than one surgical technique available and surgeons may recommend different techniques for different patients. There is now growing interest in the fat transfer breast augmentation, where during the surgery, the surgeon can add volume without physically adding implants to patients’ breasts. The surgeon first performs liposuction to take out areas of excess fat from your body. The areas of the body vary between patients, but most commonly come from the hips or love handles. Once this excess fat has been collected, it is then injected into the breast. This surgery does not leave scars after, and it can be a good option for women who are looking to add volume to their breasts. Surgeons should also talk patients through the process before they begin and determine exactly the type of breast augmentation they are looking for. Surgeons will be able to assess the patient’s size and wants, and from there come up with a plan for where the implant will be placed and where the incisions will be made. This will vary from patient to patient, which is why it is so important that you choose a certified and experienced surgeon to perform your breast augmentation surgery as mentioned previously. You want to be sure that you are getting the exact right type of surgery for you to yield the best and most natural-looking results.

As mentioned previously, there is also a more modern approach to breast augmentation surgery that involves more natural-looking breast implants. Because of this, patients are now able to choose between the traditional round shape or a teardrop shape. The teardrop shape was created to try to get a more natural look post-surgery, as it is made to imitate the look of natural breasts as it is fuller on the bottom and more tapered on top. There is also a new type of silicone gel on the market today that is strong yet feels soft and natural. Women can now evaluate their options to determine which shape is best for them based on the look they are going for post-surgery. With these new options for size and shape, as well as the addition of new fat transferring techniques, you can feel confident going into surgery that the advancements have come a long way and breast augmentation is now better than ever.
