The Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is perennially one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the country. Our patients who choose to undergo breast augmentation in Kalispell, MT, aren’t celebrities; they’re real people. Many of our patients are moms, grandmothers, businesswomen, teachers, and so on, and they all have unique, personal reasons for wanting breast enhancement.

Below, we will discuss the benefits of breast augmentation and offer some ideas to reflect on if you’re considering this highly popular procedure.

Perks of Breast Augmentation

Studies show that individuals who decide to have plastic surgery benefit from greater confidence and a better quality of life. Here are some more specific “perks” associated with breast augmentation surgery:

• You are the boss when getting a breast augmentation. During your consultation, you will work with your surgeon to create a treatment plan that fits you. It will incorporate your aesthetic desires, lifestyle, body type, and, of course, safety. You have the ability to truly customize how your breasts will look.
• Enhancing breast size can boost self-confidence. Not only does breast augmentation change you physically, but it can be a catalyst for emotional change, too. The procedure can help you regain self-esteem while promoting a positive body image. Many patients report emotional satisfaction post-surgery. Finally, taking the plunge and getting the breast procedure that you’ve always wanted can affect both body and mind.
• Breast augmentation can ease the effects of aging. Breasts can be dramatically changed by aging, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy. A breast augmentation combined with a breast lift can be a great way to regain youthful contours and reshape sagging or deflated breasts.

• The results of breast augmentation are long-lasting and natural-looking. Patients have 3 different options for discreet incisions: inframammary, periareolar, and transaxillary—all of which are very well-concealed. You also have options when selecting implant size, shape, placement, and texture to ensure your results truly complement your body frame. Implant manufacturers typically offer a 10-year warranty on implants, but many women have the same implants for much longer.

Considerations for Breast Augmentation

• Board certification is important. Plastic surgery, or any medical treatment, is not something to take lightly. Although breast surgery rarely has serious complications, it is important to find a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon to achieve an optimal outcome. If your surgeon is not certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons, they have not demonstrated proficiency in procedures such as breast augmentation.
• Like any and all surgeries, safety is paramount. This is why you must be open and honest with your surgeon. Good communication facilitates improved safety throughout your surgical process. It is also vital to follow your surgeon’s pre- and post-op instructions. This helps ensure a safe procedure and smooth recovery.
• Determine what is best for you, and only you. You should not be getting this procedure for any other person. If it makes you happy, go for it—it’s your body. You will be the one going in for surgery, going through recovery, and living with the results.
