There is a trend where people go on a vacation to receive a plastic surgery procedure, Hawaii is no exception to this “enhanced vacation” and we wanted to explore options for people to be able to enjoy the vacation as well as receive a procedure they want.
What is Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is the surgical process of making breasts more significant in size. It is usually done when there are small breasts or to restore breast volume after pregnancy and lactation. Breast implants are silicone-filled, saline-filled, or a combination of both that you can insert through an incision in the breast or around the nipple. It is an outpatient procedure. Even though the breasts are being augmented, this is still a cosmetic operation; hence it is done under general anesthesia. Individuals who have breast augmentation surgery may have a different sensation in the area of their breasts.
7 Reasons Why People Receive Breast Augmentation
1. To increase confidence in themselves
It is considered the most common reason for women to want breast augmentations. Many of these women have small breasts and are reticent about wearing swimsuits or bras. They frequently dress in clothing that minimizes the appearance of their breasts, such as oversized shirts and sweaters.
2. To restore breast volume after pregnancy or lactation
Many women lose considerable breast volume during pregnancy, which may be essential in having them augmented. It is relatively common for patients to complain about their breasts after nursing a baby for a year or more. These women may feel that their breasts are less significant than the average 10-year old girl.
3. To replace or reconstruct the nipple and areola
Suppose it has been previously removed due to breast cancer. In that case, usually, women have nipple reconstruction at the time of mastectomy. Still, it is possible to have a second operation later if you so desire to improve the shape or symmetry of your breasts.
4. To reduce the size of breasts after significant weight loss
Breast reduction surgery removes excess skin and fat that results from massive weight loss, such as after weight loss surgery or gastric bypass. People who have had many abdominal fats removed with these procedures may also have excessive breast tissue and skin. You may use a breast reduction to correct this problem by removing excess tissue, usually under the arm, around the areola, and along the lower edge of the breast.
5. To lift the breasts – mastopexy
It is possible to augment the breasts while simultaneously lifting them. It is done by tightening the supporting structures through an incision around the areola, removing excess skin and tissue under the breast, and placing an implant behind each breast. It lifts the breast to appear higher on the chest – a significant benefit when a woman’s breasts have lost volume as they have matured or after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
6. To correct an asymmetrical appearance
The procedure is often done as an adjunct to breast augmentation. It involves removing the excess tissue from the underside of the breast under the arm and sometimes around the nipple and then rearranging the tissues, using implants or silicone molds to create more symmetrical, full breasts.
7. To improve skin texture – rejuvenation
Rejuvenation is another reason for choosing breast augmentation rather than surgery to remove excess skin liposuction. The skin of the breasts may be loose and wrinkled due to several factors, including age, multiple pregnancies, weight loss, and weight gain. A mastopexy with breast augmentation may do the trick in improving the skin texture.
Conclusion
Breast augmentation is considered a safe procedure that has been done for more than 50 years. Over time, it has evolved to incorporate new techniques and improvements in surgical techniques. The procedure itself is also low risk, but there are risks involved as with any surgical procedure.
