Things to Consider About A San Diego Breast Augmentation

It’s interesting to note that while women undergoing breast augmentation in San Diego opt for fairly large size difference; in Britain the trend is from a ‘Baywatch’ type size to the smaller more discreet European size. There are various reasons for this trend. While a bigger breast size may feel like an attribute to aspire to, the reality is that they can be restrictive when it comes to exercising. A size that’s in line with your body type is more comfortable and looks more natural. Doctors also guide implant candidates to consider the weight of an implant, a bulkier implant will put more weight on the skin around the breast. With a smaller implant, the chances of skin stretching or sagging are much less. Of course, the decision, although guided by your doctor, belongs to the individual and needs to be one that’s appealing and satisfying to the augmentation candidate. 

There are many differences in women’s anatomy, from the way the breasts are positioned on the body to the gap between them, the size of the rib cage, the distance from shoulders and also the length of the torso. Women need to be aware that implants don’t last forever and the recommendation is to replace them or remove them in the future. Common advice is to change them every 10 years or so. After the 10-year mark, women who have had a breast augmentation in San Diego, are advised to have them checked annually.

Before having surgery, it is important to be at your ideal weight, and a weight that you know you can sustain. You don’t want to have a procedure when you are overweight and then lose a ton of fat and find that your breasts are not proportioned in the way you would have liked them to be.

Women having a Mommy makeover in San Diego are advised to wait for a minimum of six months after breast-feeding. This is because the breasts change quite substantially during this time. It’s also wise to wait until you know you aren’t going to have another child, or wait until your family is finished. Pregnancy creates a lot of changes in the body.

Once the augmentation procedure has been completed, it takes about 3 months before the implants settle down and the body adjusts to them. Implants can make the breasts feel unnaturally firm in the beginning. After a few months they will soften. If hardness or discomfort is felt, it’s wise to schedule a check up as soon as you can. Although it seems there are a few things to be concerned about, if you choose an experienced doctor with testimonials from other women, you will feel assured of a good outcome.
