What to Know Before Undergoing the Surgery

I identify are four phases related to breast augmentation that a woman must be aware of:

1. Making the decision: consists in making informed decision as to whether or not to undergo the procedure. That is, the woman must be aware of the choices of implants she has, as well as their potential risk factors (see previous entries).
2. Know the procedure: Go over important considerations such as implant placement, incision, and size.
3. Find a Doctor: Know everything there is to know about the surgeon: How many years has he/she performed breast augmentation? Is he/she board certified? What is the most common type of operation and reoperation he/she performs? Costs before and after the operation.
4. The surgery: What happens during the procedure? How long does it last?
5. Recovery: How long is recovery after the operation? What will be the degree of discomfort?

Also, remember, breast augmentation procedures are not ‘100%-satisfaction- guarantee.’ You may not be fully content with the results, and this often means undergoing another surgery.
