Are you tired of disguising the fact that your body does not have curves designed for a bathing suit? Do you spend time and money looking for padded bras to fill out your clothes and add feminine lines to your body? If so, now may be the time to consider making a permanent change with breast augmentation performed by a plastic surgeon in CT.
What is Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure which tightens and shapes breasts making them firm and full. In most cases a saline or silicone implant is inserted into the breast through incisions made under the breast, nipple or armpit. Sometimes the work can be performed as an endoscopic procedure which leaves little or no visible scaring.
Pregnancy, nursing, weight loss and time can all affect the shape and firmness of a woman’s breast. If your primary problem is sagging, then the procedure you most likely need is a breast lift, also known as a mastopexy. If your breasts are the right size but droop a lift may be all that is needed. In many cases, however, the breasts have lost volume as well as elasticity and the solution is a combination breast lift and augmentation.
Consider This When Choosing a Plastic Surgeon in CT
The first thing you should do when contemplating breast augmentation is to take stock of your motivation and expectations. This is a surgery that should be done for you and not to please anyone else or to live up to some perceived social standard. You should also carefully consider how large you want your breasts to be after surgery. A good plastic surgeon can assist you in mapping out a look that blends in naturally with your body contours.
Next you should locate the best plastic surgeon in CT to perform the operation. The body is a work of art, so it only makes sense to choose an experienced physician who takes an artistic approach to his work. Dr. Rosenstock, a renowned certified plastic surgeon in CT is an artist in several other mediums as well as a surgeon, and is a member of the elite American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Dr. Rosenstock has been performing breast surgery for more than 30 years. He still takes pride in the individualization, time and consideration he gives to each of his patients. During your consultation he will review your overall health, skin quality, breast elasticity and listen to your concerns and goals for breast enhancement. Together you will choose an approach designed to best meet your expectations.
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Surgery?
One of the major considerations is your overall health. As with any surgery, a patient who is healthy will heal faster and experience better results than someone with serious health issues. Weight is another consideration. If you have maintained a proper weight for a period of time, then the results achieved through surgery will be more permanent. If you plan to lose a great deal of weight you would be better off to wait for breast enhancement until after the weight loss is accomplished. Significant weight loss can affect the shape, size and firmness of the breasts, and it’s best to resolve all of these issues at one time rather than undergoing additional procedures later.
Smoking is another factor which affects the outcome of surgery. If you are a smoker you would need to complete a smoking cessation program prior to having your breasts reshaped.
What to Expect From Breast Augmentation Surgery
For all patients the procedure is performed in an outpatient setting allowing them to return to their own home the same day. Your physician will probably recommend a support bra for the first few weeks. Stitches are usually removed within seven to ten days after surgery and initial discomfort is controlled with oral medications. You will immediately feel great about your appearance when wearing clothing and when wearing a bra, but it will take some time (usually about six weeks) before the final shape appears and you will be confident with your new look without clothing. Most women are able to return to work after just one week or less, depending upon the physical nature of the work performed.
