Choosing A Plastic Surgeon For Your Breast Augmentation

If you're planning to have breast implants, there are things you need to do to help you choose a plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation.

Start by asking others that have had Boston breast augmentation. Maybe you have a friend or a family member that's had it done, talk to them about their experiences. Your family doctor may be able to also supply you with a reference.

Next, give your local hospital a call, and get a list of board certified plastic surgeons that have operating privileges. To have operating privileges means the hospital approves of the surgeon.

Once you have a list of plastic surgeons that you think might be up for the job, you need to get some questions answered.

1. Confirm with your state medical board that the surgeon is licensed. Also, inquire as to any past, present, or pending complaints against the surgeon.
2. Verify the training and the credentials. Board certified doesn't always mean the medical board.
3. Make sure the surgeon has hospital privileges.
4. Check for malpractice suits.
5. Read the details of the patient consent form very carefully. If you have questions, ask the plastic surgeon to clarify.

It's time to make a short list. Then it's time to make an appointment for a consultation. Your instincts are worth following, so if you feel uneasy or something doesn't sit right, he/she isn't the surgeon for you.

Then again if things click, and you feel comfortable with the plastic surgeon, choose him/her.

Choosing a plastic surgeon for your breast augmentation is the most important step of all. Once you've got that out of the way, you can relax a little.

Breast Lifts Can Perk You Up

The effects of gravity over the years, weight loss, motherhood, and the loss of elasticity in the skin can affect how your breasts look. Pregnancy and nursing can get rid of those youthful perky breasts faster than anything else. Not to worry – a breast lift can perk you up in no time.

A breast lift, also called a mastopexy, is a surgery done by a plastic surgeon that lifts and shapes your breasts. It can also reduce the size of the dark skin around the nipple. And if you want firmness or size, then have breast implants done at the same time.

The breast lift procedure varies slightly depending on your surgeon. One recommendation is that if you plan to have more children wait until you are finished having babies. The most common method will involve an incision that is anchor shaped and follows the breasts natural shape. The incision is where the skin will be removed and marks where the new location of your nipple will be.

You may choose to have breast implants done at the same time depending on what your goal is. Sometimes breast lifts are just what you need while other times they simply don’t provide enough "substance," and you’ll want to opt for Boston breast augmentation.

Remember this. It’s your body and only you know what’s right for your body. Breast lifts just might be the way to perk you up.
