When it comes to cosmetic surgery, breast augmentation is one of the most commonly requested procedures. For many women, the size, shape and “perkiness” of their breasts is directly tied to how feminine they feel. While breast augmentation surgery can be a highly rewarding experience, there are a few things that every woman considering this procedure should know.
Breast augmentation surgery is not permanent.
If you opt for surgery, do it with the understanding that you will likely need to have it re-done within the next 15-20 years. No implant will last forever.
In fact, you may need to have the surgery re-done […]

The following Q&A outlines the answers to the most common breast augmentation questions; however, your plastic surgeon should discuss these answers in more detail during your consultation.
Do the number of CCs in a breast implant correlate with the breast size?

The Early Years: 1960s and 1970s
The history of breast implants essentially begins in the early 1960s. Before this, implants were extremely dangerous, could not promise satisfactory results and were sometimes provided to patients by non-medical physicians who were not qualified to perform the surgery. Breast enhancement was experimental and involved inserting sponges or injecting the breasts with paraffin or silicone.
In 1963, however, silicone gel-filled implants were introduced (saline-filled implants followed in 1965), providing the prototype for modern breast augmentation. In the 1970s many companies began to mass produce different breast implants and the technology behind implant creation continued to evolve. […]

THE TRUTH ABOUT 24 HOUR RECOVERY BREAST AUGMENTATIONWhy It’s unsafeIt’s impossible for you to undergo breast augmentation, a major surgical procedure, and fully recover within 24 hours. Your body’s natural healing processes don’t work that fast. If you accidentally cut your finger while cooking, does it heal by the next day? The cut may partially close over a bit […]
For the majority of women, there is a natural space between the right and left breast. This space creates a separation between the two breasts, so that they may both be defined as separate mounds. More importantly, it also defines the cleavage. Regardless of the size of your breast implants, it is important that this space remains for a more natural appearance.
However, if you notice that the space between your breasts has disappeared following your breast augmentation or the skin in the area is raised to a certain extent, then you have developed symmastia (a condition that can also exist […]
