How Ready Are You For Breast Augmentation?

by Dr. Steven Wallach

Women have various reasons in seeking a breast augmentation; some want to improve the appearance and size of their breasts after pregnancy and childbirth while others have always wanted to achieve a flattering figure. Here at our New York breast implant practice, women who choose to undergo breast augmentation have expressed their satisfaction and the positive benefits of such a procedure.

The aforementioned observation is further confirmed by the results of an article published in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, revealing that the majority of women who choose to have breast implants have expressed satisfaction and significant improvements in their well-being.

Figuring Out if You’re Ready for Breast Augmentation

Making the decision to have breast implants involves careful consideration and assessment both by your surgeon and on your end. In addition, there are a lot of factors which could influence your decision — from your current health status to implant type, size, and shape to figuring out which incision is appropriate for you.

Our previous posts have provided you with insightful advice on several breast augmentation concerns. Now, the question is whether or not you are actually ready to make the move and submit yourself to the positive effects of breast augmentation, like what most of the women in the aforementioned survey experienced. We urge you to ask yourself the following questions:

• Am you the only one making the decision to have breast augmentation? Although you need others for your support system, there should be no one else pressuring you to have surgery.
• Are you realistic concerning the outcomes of the surgery?
• Are you well-informed of the potential risks associated with the procedure?
• Are you aware of the measures you need to take before and after surgery?
• Are you physically fit and mentally stable?
• Is this the best time to have surgery?
• Am I completely comfortable with my surgeon, his or her staff, and the venue of the surgery?
• Do I have a solid support system during recovery?
