                                                      If you are one of the millions of women wanting to  have breast augmentation you have probably been thinking about it for years.  
                             
                          How  long do Breast Implants Surgery last? 
                                                      Breast Implants can have a long  life. So far, there is no way to predict how long any particular implant will  last. Complications can occur such as painful scar tissue and ruptures;  therefore, women may need to have them removed.  
                          Questions  about Breast Augmentation: 
                           
                            Ideal  age for breast implants: 
                            As breast tissue can still be developing  into the early 20's, breast enlargement surgery is generally recommended for  adult women in their mid-twenties and beyond. Advanced age is not a deterrent  for undergoing breast augmentation surgery or getting implants, as long as the  patient enjoys good general health. 
                           
                            Implant  Size 
                            Breast implants come in many  different sizes and are measured in cc's (cubic centimeters). An experienced,  board-certified plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation can be  invaluable in helping patients decide what size of implant will best suit your  anatomy. Implants that are too large can result in increased complications and  are more likely to need revision surgery in the future. 
                           
                            Implant  Shape 
                            There are two basic shapes to breast  implants: round and teardrop. Round implants create the most dramatic cleavage,  however teardrop implants are considered by many to appear more realistic.  Teardrop implants are textured, which helps keep them from slipping or rotating  after surgery. Decisions on implant shape are based on how patients want their  new breasts to look.

                        Breast  Implant surgery is one of the most popular, female cosmetic procedures across  America: 
                          
                            - To enhance breast size through       implants
 
                            - To correct any unevenness that       exists in terms of breast size

                          - Size of implant from 100 to 800       cc
 
                          - Shape of implant, including        round, contoured, and tear drop
 
                          - Profile of implant, including       low, moderate, high, and moderate plus, and
 
                          - Fill material of the implant,       including  saline water and memory gel
 
                         
                          The  selection of a particular shape of implant is based on the look that the client  is seeking to achieve. A client may also want to consider the fill material to  be used. Patient feedback tends to indicate that gel implants offer the most  realistic feel. It should be noted that gel implants are filled prior to  surgery, and therefore require a slightly larger incision for insertion than  that required for saline implants. The saline options are available in both  smooth and textured shells, and they provide a beautiful shape to the breast  due to the use of silicone. 
                                                      The  client decision on the shape and size of the breast implant influences both the  treatment options that are recommended as well as the final results. Related  surgery is accomplished via the insertion of breast implants, either behind the  breast tissue, or under the chest muscles. 
                          
                            The  necessary, surgical incisions are strategically placed in the following  positions in order to minimize the appearance of any resulting scar tissue: 
                          
                            - In the underarm region
 
                            - Surrounding the areola
 
                            - Underneath the breast mass
 
                            - Through the naval
 
                           
                          The  method of implant insertion and positioning depends upon client preferences and  surgical recommendations. The surgical procedure is completed in under 2 hours,  and facilitates rapid recovery that generally results in minimal bleeding and  scarring, and allows a patient to return to work in approximately 3 days.  |

						    the changes that you want to make in your appearance

                        Measurements are key. The “right  size” for you has nothing to do with your cup size… it has to do with body  size… more specifically, it has to do with the measurements of your breasts in  relation to the rest of your chest and rib cage. 
                           Everyone knows that breast  implants look fake and unnatural if they are too big, but what most women  don’t realize is that implants that are too small also look fake! The best way to avoid this problem is for your surgeon to  take measurements during the consultation and use them to determine an  appropriate range of implants to begin choosing from. 
                          Look  at Sample Breast Implants 
                                                      I always show my patients sample breast implants of all different shapes and sizes, and I usually have them  place a few sizes in their bra during that visit. This not a very accurate way  of choosing a size, but it can certainly point us in the right direction,  especially when we consider your measurements at the same time. If your surgeon  has sample saline and silicone implants, take the opportunity to feel both of  them.  |

						Depending on the look 
						you wish to achieve and your unique physical 
						characteristics you and your doctor will choose from a 
						variety of implant styles, shapes, sizes and textures. 
						Some implants give the breast a more rounded appearance, 
						while others create a breast shaped like a teardrop.

						Saline implants 
						are the most popular implant option in the United 
						States. The watery sterile saline solution used in 
						breast implants is isotonic (has the same salt 
						concentration as the normal cells of the body and the 
						blood) and presents no health risk to the patient.

                        Many of out of town patients have their initial physical exam and consultation immediately 
                          prior to scheduled surgery. During this consultation, the doctors will discuss the surgery in 
                          full detail.

							The first step in the Breast Augmentation procedure 
							consists of making an incision and lifting the 
							breast tissue. The doctor will then create a pocket 
							in the chest or breast area and then place the 
							implant, which consists of a soft and 
							natural-feeling material, in the pocket. |

							Incisions can be made in one of several areas such 
							as the crease below the breast, around the areola, 
							under the armpit, and sometimes, although rarely , 
							through the navel. The implant is then placed either 
							under the breast, or under the chest muscle. 
							Decision on the placement is made based on several 
							factors such as the physical anatomy of your 
							breasts, the soreness after surgery, exercise 
							activities ( sports such as weightlifting, tennis, 
							volleyball that directly affect upper body strength) 
							and potential interference with mammograms. The most 
							popularly used implant consists of a silicone rubber 
							sack filled with saline solution, although there are 
							many other kinds available.  |

                    The under arm incision is 
					one of the most common incision locations and is made under 
					the armpit. Incision patterns vary based on the type of 
					implant, degree of enlargement desired, patient anatomy, and 
					patient and surgeon preference.

                    A small incision is made 
					in the belly button. Through the incision, a slender 
					instrument passes under the skin to a location behind the 
					breast tissue. Next, a tissue expander is inserted and 
					placed under the breast. With the expander, a space is 
					developed to create a pocket for the implant size you 
					requested. The position and size is verified. Then, an empty 
					saline implant is placed in the pocked and filled with 
					sterile saline. The incision is closed with a few absorbable 
					stitches.

                    Incisions are made to 
					keep scars as inconspicuous as possible. The nipple (periareolar) 
					incision is one of the most common incision locations and is 
					made under the areola (the pigmented area of skin around the 
					nipple). Incision patterns vary based on the type of 
					implant, degree of enlargement desired, patient anatomy, and 
					patient and surgeon preference.

                    Incisions are closed with

					Sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape are then used to 
					close the skin. While the incision scars typically fade over 
					several months. |
