Questions to ask about breast implants

For women who think their breasts are too small, breast implants can help improve their confidence. However, like with any type of Plymouth MN plastic surgery, you should ask the appropriate questions before you decide it’s “right” for you. As one article recently noted:

If considering breast implants there are a number of questions that should be considered as part of the process.

What kind of questions should you ask? You might inquire about the difference between round and contoured implants, how long they will last and what is fat-grafting breast augmentation? The more questions you ask, the better you will able to make an informed decision.

Breast Implants: Would you make a good candidate?

One of the most popular types of Plymouth MN plastic surgery is breast implants. Many women choose to undergo this procedure to help boost self esteem, but it’s not the perfect choice as one article recently noted: 

To begin with, you need to check out the age requirement for your state or insurance. This can vary, but it is typically at least 18 or 22 years of age for silicone gel breast implants.

Among the other factors that can determine whether breast implants are right for you are whether you’re in good health, you smoke, your motivation or if you’re pregnant or nursing. However, the only person(s) who can decide whether breast implants are right for you are you and your plastic surgeon.

Breast Implants Can Be a Positive Thing

Breast implants may be the most misunderstood plastic surgery procedure. Despite some beliefs, breast augmentation can be a positive thing for the patient, as it helps to give her back her self-confidence. We tackled this very subject in an article about Minneapolis breast implants and noted:

Another reason, which on the surface may seem vain or shallow, is to look better. Who doesn't like to feel as though they look their best? When we don't, we may feel inadequate or like we don't matter. Aging takes its toll on our bodies and our looks, and sometimes, we need a little help to reclaim a bit of our youth.

As humans, we like to look our very best. And if we feel we don't, this can lead to self-doubt and other negative thinking. When getting breast implants however, make sure you're doing it for you and not for anybody else. The only opinion that matters is yours, and if you're comfortable with yourself, you'll get your confidence back.

Plastic Surgery FAQ

People ask us a lot of questions about plastic surgery before they decide to undergo any procedure. And the Richard S Werner staff is glad they do: cosmetic surgery is a big decision and questions should be raised. Here are some of the more common ones we get:

What questions should I ask before choosing a plastic surgeon?

Anything you want! We encourage you to bring a checklist along of any questions you wish to ask. We suggest asking potential plastic surgeons:

• Where will the surgery be performed?
• How many times have you performed similar procedures?
• What risks are involved?
• What kind of recovery time is needed?
• How much will this cost?

Will I have a scar from the procedure?

Scars are unavoidable of any healing time. But, a professional surgeon should be able to place it in a place where it’s virtually unnoticeable, like along natural creases or under undergartments. Scars will fade normally over time, and the severity is different from person to person.

What procedures are the most popular?

Our most popular plastic surgeries are:

• Breast Augmentation (Breast Implants)
• Liposuction
• Vein Stripping
• Tummy Tuck
• Eyelifts

Popular Summertime Plastic Surgeries: Breast Augmentation

There is nothing wrong with being ashamed of the size of your breasts. It’s common among many women, and can be rectified with breast augmentation, known commonly as breast implants. Many of our clients prefer to get this cosmetic surgery done before heading off to the Lake Superior Beaches, in order to get that dream body of which they’ve been dreaming.

What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation enlarges the breasts, and takes about one hour to complete. Either a saline or silicone implant is inserted behind the breast. The staff at Dr. Richard S Werner Plastic Surgery will help you determine the implants’ size, shape and other choices.

What kinds of people get breast augmentation?

Women who are:

• Dissatisfied with the size of their breasts
• Experiencing breasts shrinking because of pregnancy and/or weight loss
• Having mild to moderate sagging
• Needing a correction of breast asymmetry, as one breast is larger than the other

What can breast augmentation do for me?

Increasing the size of your breasts can improve your self-confidence and self-esteem, as well as significantly alter your appearance.
