Breast Augmentation
Are You a Good
Candidate for Breast Augmentation
Surgery?
Women seek breast surgery for a number of
reasons:
-
Being
genetically disposed to smaller breasts.
-
Being
genetically disposed to breasts that are not symmetrical, with one
breast having a different size or shape than the other.
-
Breast
cancer patients often seek breast reconstruction surgery because a
breast is partially or totally removed as part of the cancer treatment.
-
Reduced
firmness from aging.
-
Drooping or
sagging breasts after child bearing and breast feeding (this condition
requires two procedures: breast lift and breast augmentation).
Breast augmentation surgery can enhance size
and shape, correct imbalances, improve
firmness, and restore the body contour for
these patients.
The best candidates for breast surgery are
women who are emotionally well-adjusted and
who have a thorough
understanding of the procedure. They are in good health, have a
history of physical activity, and eat a
healthy diet. Breast surgery is a good
choice to enhance a figure, but not to
completely change it.
There are six main clinical parameters for
breast implants on initial consultation:
-
Patient's
body build and height
-
Natural
breast size, shape and symmetry
-
Nipple
position in relation to the breast
-
The quality
of breast skin
-
Chest wall
shape and dimension
-
Patient's
desire for cup size and shape
