Your Breast Augmentation Consultation

Prior to making the decision to perform your breast surgery, your surgeon will carefully evaluate your general health status and any pre-existing health conditions or risk factors which could compromise your surgical outcome or jeopardize your health in any way. The preoperative planning stages and patient consultation process will take the most time since it is essential to attain accurate personal information of why you want to have surgery, what are your expectations and desired outcome. In addition, careful consideration will go into taking detailed measurements of multiple, specific physical parameters of your breasts as well as an assessment of the quality and quantity of your existing breast tissue, to assist with making the appropriate choice of breast implant and incision technique.

Some of the most important considerations for women considering breast implants is to choose their surgeon with care, check credentials, and establish open communication prior to having this type of cosmetic surgery.

The decision to have implants is a very personal one – each woman must decide for herself if the benefits of implants will achieve her goals and that the risks and potential complications are acceptable.

Each woman has a private sense of how she wishes to look and whether she wants to achieve this by having surgery. Breast implant surgery may be of psychological benefit when it cosmetically improves appearance, corrects a loss in breast size after pregnancy or nursing, or rebuilds a breast shape after surgery for cancer.
