3 Things To Know Before Getting Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation patient in DenverBreast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic surgery in America. Still, there are some factors to consider before choosing to enhance your breast size and shape with implants. From what concerns it can treat to what you can expect from the results, here are three things our board-certified plastic surgeons want you to know about breast augmentation.

1. Breast Augmentation Can’t Fix Sagging Breasts

There are several different cosmetic procedures for the breasts, and each one treats specific imperfections. Breast augmentation is designed to help with volume loss and lack of fullness.

The procedure can also target asymmetry and improve overall breast shape for a more rounded look. However, when it comes to fixing sagging and drooping, a breast lift is a better match. Many women choose to combine both of these surgeries for the most comprehensive results.

2. Breast Implants Don’t Last Forever

Breast implants are durable and resilient medical devices. However, they rarely last a lifetime. Most implants need to be removed and replaced after 10 to 15 years.

There are a number of reasons why implant exchange may be necessary, including problems with the implant or a desire to switch to a smaller or larger size. If you decide to remove your implants without replacing them, know that we also offer breast implant removal as a standalone procedure to meet your needs.

3. Your Immediate Results Aren’t Your Final Results

Breast augmentation instantly enhances the shape and size of your breasts. However, swelling and bruising will be present after surgery and can detract from the initial cosmetic improvement.

Because swelling may take weeks or months to resolve completely, don’t be too quick to judge your breast augmentation results. Keep in mind that your implants will also need time to settle.
