There are a variety of reasons why a woman might choose to have breast augmentation, as well as a variety of options to consider while planning a procedure. Here are five suggestions to assist you in making these choices and preparing for your breast augmentation surgery.
- MAKE THE BEST DECISIONS YOU CAN.
You will have numerous choices about breast augmentation during your visit with Dr. Hlavacek. What matters most, however, is what is best for you. Your decision to have breast augmentation surgery, as well as the procedures you choose, should be based on how you want to look and feel, not on how someone else wants you to look or on trying to imitate another person’s looks. You will have a better outcome and a higher level of personal satisfaction if you make your decisions personal. Ask yourself, “Is this the best choice for me?” with every decision leading up to your surgery.
- TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR.
If you have any queries, don’t be afraid to ask them. Dr. Hlavacek wants you to be well-informed at all times. Bring up any concerns you have about your treatment, preparation, or recuperation.
Please inform Dr. Hlavacek of any pre-existing medical issues or drugs you are currently taking during your consultation. You and Dr. Hlavacek will be able to make the best possible decisions for your operation by providing a comprehensive list of health conditions and drugs, reducing risks and consequences.
- TAKE IMPORTANT DECISIONS IN CONSIDERATION PRIOR TO YOUR EXAM
Several choices will be presented to you during your session. You can have a more focused discussion with Dr. Hlavacek about your goals and the best strategy to get optimum outcomes if you explore some of your options before to consultation.
Prior to surgery, you must make the following important decisions:
incision placement — in the armpit, in the crease under the breast, or beneath the areola type and size of implants (saline or silicone) and size
Whether the implant is behind or in front of the muscle is a matter of personal preference.
Whether or not you’ll have a breast lift as part of your breast augmentation procedure
Each of these alternatives comes with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. In leading you to the best options for you, Dr. Hlavacek will assess your objectives, body size and proportion, and medical history.
- BE AWARE OF THE POSSIBILITIES
Breast augmentation surgery has a low risk of complications. It is, however, still surgery, with all of the hazards that entails. While pain, bruising, and swelling are all normal side effects of surgery, there are also other dangers to consider. Although the majority of women experience no concerns, issues such as increased scar tissue, loss of sensation, changes in sensitivity, infection, and asymmetry can occur. During your visit, Dr. Hlavacek will talk about these options with you.
- MAKE RECOVERY PLANS AHEAD OF TIME.
Many routine activities can be resumed within days of your treatment, but others will have to wait several weeks. If you have little children, you may want assistance in the weeks following surgery because you won’t be able to raise or carry them as easily as you typically would. You won’t be able to move large objects like grocery bags immediately soon, either.
Make sure your family and friends are aware that you will require assistance throughout your recuperation period before you undergo surgery. This could entail enlisting the assistance of a family member or friend to assist with children, grocery shopping, or household duties.
You will have a faster recovery, fewer issues, and a better overall experience if you prepare ahead and have assistance in place prior to your operation.
