Learning About Nashville Breast Augmentation

By Andrew W John

Women have so many reasons for wanting to have a breast augmentation procedure done. For a lot of women it is about looking more attractive or feminine but for some it could be because they feel self conscious about the size of their breasts. Whatever your motive is for having a breast augmentation it gives you a boost of self confidence that you may not have had after you gave birth, got older, or for medical reasons such as a mastectomy.

Unfortunately not all women are born with the perfect breasts. Many women are even born with different sized breasts which can make them uneasy about certain types of clothes they wear. It is a common fact that women tend to have one breast that is larger than the other, but in some cases, the difference is quite noticeable. It isn't always about making a woman's breast larger; sometimes it is just about making them more proportioned in order to feel less conspicuous in clothing and when naked.

Before you make a final decision on having a breast augmentation, it is extremely important that you make an appointment for a consultation with a medical professional that is experienced with plastic surgery. You should do this whether or not you are committed to the procedure. This is the only time you will have to sit down and really learn about the produce and to find out exactly what takes place. You can discuss the risks and the benefits, and even if you decide not to go through with it, you will have a much better idea of what will happen if you ever do decide to do a breast augmentation later in life. You in turn will feel more confident about your decision whether you have it done or not.

It will be when you speak with the doctor that you will also learn about realistic expectations. There are many women that feel that the surgery will bring them something that just isn't possible. The doctor will usually discuss this with you in detail and let you know some of the feelings that you may have.

Before you jump into something that is so important you need to think about why you are getting a breast augmentation. Are you doing this for yourself or are you doing it for someone else? You are the only one who is going to be able to answer this, and it is more important than you think. You are going to have to live with this change to your body, so you should be doing this to please yourself, and not anyone else.

Also during the consultation, the doctor will evaluate you to make sure that you are in good health in order to have the breast augmentation. They may ask questions about previous surgeries, the growth of your breasts, and if you are fully grown. There are some women in the younger age bracket who will not be allowed to have the procedure because they are not fully developed yet. If you fall into this category then the doctor will explain the reasons why the surgery cannot take place.

When you are sitting in the consultation with your doctor, this is not the time to be dishonest in any way, no matter how much you want the procedure done. The doctor is there to help you and to show you the process. You need to be honest about why you are doing it, what you expect to gain from it and the reasons that you feel that you are a candidate for the breast augmentation.

After you discuss the reasons behind the surgery, it is time to start discussing any pre-existing conditions that may exclude you from the surgery. Your doctor will ask about any history of breast cancer, both for you or your family, as well as any medical conditions you may have now. You should be truthful about the medication you are taking, whether it is over the counter or prescription drugs. No matter how small it may seem to you, it is important for your doctor to know everything that is going on with you, as it can affect the procedure itself.

When the consultation is finished you will be much more informed about what is going to happen. This will help you to decide whether or not breast augmentation is for you. - 16650
