Medical History
Candidates must disclose their complete medical history to their surgeon. Certain medical conditions such as autoimmune disorders, bleeding disorders, or previous breast surgeries may make breast augmentation surgery unsuitable.
Emotional Well-being
Candidates must also be emotionally prepared for breast augmentation surgery. A positive attitude and a strong support system before breast augmentation are crucial.
Implant Type
Candidates should carefully consider the type of breast implant they want to use. Each type has advantages and disadvantages based on an individual’s preferences and goals.
Potential Risks
Candidates must understand the potential risks of breast augmentation surgery, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and implant rupture or leakage. Discussing these risks with the surgeon and understanding how to reduce them is essential.
Aftercare and Recovery
Patients considering breast augmentation surgery should determine if they can commit to the aftercare procedure required following the surgery. Appropriate advice from a certified and experienced plastic surgeon is essential for individuals making such decisions to weigh their goals and personal circumstances. Following the surgeon’s instructions regarding activity restriction, wound care programs, and follow-up sessions is a crucial part of this process.
Types of Breast Augmentation Procedures
Breast augmentation depends on what each candidate wants. Examples include:
- Implant placement
- Fat transfer breast augmentation
- Breast lift with implants
A plastic surgeon in San Diego can help you decide which procedure is right for you.
