This is one of the best ways to ensure you have a good result. The other way is to follow your surgeon's instructions exactly, both before after your procedure.
Saline or silicone gel?
Many believe that silicone gel implants over natural in appearance. But they are filled and therefore can not be inserted through an incision TUBA (navel). They can be adjusted later if you decide you want that are a little smaller or larger. Saline implants are inserted empty and then folded full, and some can be changed later. The saline fluid is a standard used throughout the world of medicine, as it adapts to salinity (salt content) in the natural body fluids.
From 1992 to 2006, silicone implants to the FDA restricted Breast Reconstruction rather than cosmetic, because a large number of media "panic" which proved to be based on anything important. The 14 years of research and testing found no link between silicone implants and any disease.
Research however has improved, so that the hull is now even stronger and the silicone gel is stronger self-adhesive. In the unlikely event that the shell rupture, the gel does not leak. Even if it did, we all have a lot of silicone in the body longer. It is used in paints, dishwashing detergents, laundry detergents and lotions to name just a few things in common. Silicone is made of silicon (no "e" at the end), which is the Earth is the second common factor after oxygen.
Which incision location?
Wherever you are scarred and no incisions wants them to be clearly visible. There are three options for placing the cuts:
• The armpit (transaxillary location) – Scars small to be visible while lifting the arms with a sleeveless shirt
• The fold of the breast – the scars are a little more but is hidden under the breast in the crease and covered by a bra or bathing suit
• The nipple – areola around which changes in skin color and texture. This allows a good camouflage for scars and had to be normally covered by clothing or bathing suit.
A fourth option, which is offered by all plastic surgeons, is in the navel. This is called the TUBA incision site to increase transumbilical breast. A surgical tool called an endoscope is used to insert the implant. This choice does not leave scars on the upper body all, but do not let a small stomach, where it is practically invisible. However, there are surgical considerations due to the distance between the navel and sites of breast implants, so that the plastic surgeon to discuss this option with you and may or may not recommend it.
Under the muscle or her?
Her breast implants can be placed under the breast tissue, but the pectoral muscles, or both. The factors behind this decision are the amount of breast tissue you have, what kind of lifestyle you live, and their goals for the outcome.
Round or pear-shaped?
The pear-shaped implants are placed in a natural way in the future as you move around. The type of cycle may give you more cleavage. It depends on what your goals for enhancement chest and where you are.
Textured or smooth?
Some breast implants have a smooth surface and some have an area slightly rough. The purpose of the textured surface is to maintain the rotation of the implant. If you have a great active life, you can learn more about the textured implants.
What size implants?
Breast implants are not classified in cup sizes, such as fasteners, 34 A and 36 C, etc. They are classified according to the number of cubic centimeters of stuffing in them. You will need an implant size to compensate for the difference between what nature gave you, and what is its goal. Once again, the aesthetic surgeon can clarify this issue and make recommendations.
A rise chest instead?
Many women do not realize that a breast lift may be all they need. If time and breastfeeding have caused the collapse, but do not steal any volume, a breast lift can increase breast and reposition the nipple, in order to give a juvenile form again.
