Breast enhancement or ‘augmentation’ is still the most popular Cosmetic Surgery procedure for women. It is more commonly known as a ‘boob job’ and basically involves increasing the size of the breasts. Women have traditionally been judged on their bodies and facial appearance and this is still a factor today. The rise of celebrity culture and the emphasis of youth and looks have helped to create a culture of physical perfection.
According to BAAPS (source: annual audit 2008), 91% of Cosmetic Surgery procedures were chosen by women
How Should I Prepare for a Neck Lift?
During your consultation, your surgeon will instruct you on what medications to avoid prior to your Cosmetic Surgery. Certain medications and vitamins thin your blood and can cause increased bleeding.
If you are a smoker, you will need to quit at least two weeks before the Cosmetic Surgery and two weeks after. You cannot just plan to cut down. You must not smoke for this time period to ensure proper healing.
Breast augmentation is the medical name for a ‘boob job’. It means increasing the size of the breasts with a medical implant. This implant is usually made of silicone and is inserted into the breast via an incision in the crease underneath the breasts.
These implants are a silicone rubber shell filled with silicone gel or saline solution. The insertion and type of implant will depend on your body type, personal Cosmetic Surgery preference and your surgeon’s advice.
You should be generally healthy and fit, and ideally not smoke, or drink large amounts of alcohol. It’s also beneficial if you have a strong jaw and cheek bone structure underneath any sagging as this will provide a very good foundation
You will be given a general anaesthetic and the implants will be inserted via the incisions made in the creases underneath the breasts. Other options include the armpits or near the areola (the circular area around the nipple). Your surgeon will then close the incisions with ordinary or dissolvable stitches. These are then taped for extra support and a light bandage will be applied.
You will experience some bruising and soreness after the Cosmetic Surgery. This is completely normal and you will be given medication to control any pain.
Midas Cosmetic Surgery or "Aesthetic Surgery' is performed to reshape normal structures of the body. It may be to correct a minor deformity of a specific body part one is not happy about or to overcome the effects of aging, and look younger. Thus Cosmetic Surgery offers people a chance to enhance their appearance and self-esteem, leading to better lifestyle and productivity.
