There is a lot to think about when considering a breast augmentation. Few women wake up in the morning and decide to get breast implants and then schedule surgery that same afternoon. In fact, most have thought about it for years, scrolled social media and scoured the internet before booking a consultation.
What happens when you want to change something about yourself and are unsure how to broach the topic with your loved one, partner, friend or significant other? Are they going to be supportive? Will they understand how much this journey means to you and your self-esteem?
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures, and with proper postoperative care, most patients enjoy excellent results with minimal visible scarring.
"The nerdy thing is any plastic surgeon who's board certified will have transfer privileges for an urgent or emergent case, which means that if it's outpatient surgery, not even connected to a hospital, but there's an issue, the plastic surgeon, the surgery center, can transfer that patient to a local hospital."
Use of cosmetic surgery by racial/ethnic minority patients has increased substantially in recent years, well beyond their relative increase in the U.S. population, reports a study in the March issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
