By Judy Sullivan


Not every woman is happy with the appearance of her bust, those who desire a fuller and more even look have the option of breat augmentation surgery to achieve these results. However, it's advisable that before going ahead with breast augmentation California patients should first have a good idea what to expect.

The first thing a woman must do is find a reputable and skilled cosmetic surgeon who specializes in this type of work. Factors to consider when choosing a competent surgeon include; his or her educational background, training, and certification, experience doing breast augmentation, and how comfortable the patient is with this doctor. Setting up a consultation is the next step.

The cosmetic surgeon will determine what the ideal cup size is and type of implant is most suitable based on the anatomy and health of the patient and what her expectations are. The doctor will use his or her expertise to choose the best approach for each patient that is likely to produce the safest and best results.

The breasts can be made larger and reshaped using the following methods. Autologous fat transfer is a newer approach which removes fat from areas of the body such as the thighs or buttocks using liposuction, and tranfers it to the breasts by injections. Saline implants, are those which are very pliable and contain a solution of sterile salt water, which is filled to the desired level. Silicone implants contain a gel-like substance and are available in various shapes, all of which are pre-filled, and there are also cohesive gel silicone implants, which are similar to regular ones, but have a firmer feel.

In order to place implants, the surgeon will make an incision in the area under the breasts, the armpits, or along the outer edge of the areolas.The implants are then positioned under the breast tissue or under the tissue of the chest muscles, the latter being considered safer by many doctors as it will not cause "capsular contracture" or hardening of the tissue around the implants, or interference with mammograms.

This procedure usually takes an hour or two, and the patient is under general anesthesia. It is an out-patient operation, and an overnight stay is only needed if there are complications. The patient will be outfitted with gauze and an elastic bandage or a special protective bra after surgery. Stitches can be removed after 7 to 10 days.

Patients can expect tenderness, bruising, and swelling which may last for several days to a couple of weeks. Discomfort can be controlled with prescription pain medications. Wearing a supportive bra and avoiding vigorous activities for a few days will help encourage healing. Scarring is normal, but most surgeons try to ensure that it will not be in a place that is highly noticeable.

After breast augmentation California patients can expect that the results will typically last for several years, however, they must be aware that eventually the procedure will need to be repeated and if a leak occurs, although this is rare, it must be dealt with immediately. In the case of fat transfers, volume may be lost over time. As women age, become pregnant, gain or lose weight, these factors can gradually alter results, but overall it produces a consistently natural and impressive look that lasts.
