Women with small size breasts possess low confidence than those with big sizes. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic treatment for increasing the breast size. So when a woman with small size breasts consults a doctor – first, she is evaluated and then counseling is done regarding options. Some of the options include how large she would like to have her breast size, what implants are available, where it will be positioned and finally, how they will be placed. An incision is made either underneath the breast or around the nipple and then the implants are positioned accordingly.
About Implants: These are available in different shapes and sizes and textures. The shell is made up of silicone and the filler material is saline. Many women ask about the risk of rupture of the implants, which is directly related to the length of time the implant has been inside the body. Silicone gel implants were also available until 1991 when the FDA restricted its use. However, a lot of researches have shown that the gel was not harmful at all. There is a chance that silicone gel might be available in the near future.
The operation is very simple and takes about 45 to 60 minutes. This type of operation can either be performed under sedation or general anesthesia. It’s a very simple operation and the recovery time is about a week. However, patients are advised to take precautions and avoid doing strenuous activities for at least 5 to 6 weeks.
The cost of breast augmentation ranges from $2,000 to $3,000. But the anesthesia and other medical charges are separate. So on an average, the total cost varies between $5,000 and $6,000.
