Knowing the Basics of Breast Augmentation in Melbourne

Knowing the Basics of Breast Augmentation in Melbourne

 

In today’s day and age, women don’t consider breast size as something that just serves as an attractive attribute for men, but also as something that can measure their own personal well-being and confidence. This is why Melbourne breast augmentation surgery is considered one of most common aesthetic procedures performed in the city. This may be due to the fact that women find themselves to be more confident if they have perfectly-sized breasts in relation to their body.

Note that contrary to popular belief, breast augmentation does not just involve increasing their size – augmentation may connote breast reduction too, if indeed the breasts are too big for one’s own body. Breast augmentation is considered, along with other plastic surgery procedures, more of an art than just a medical technique. This is because estimating the proper breast size for each person requires a lot of time, consultation, and good communication between the patient and the attending surgeon.

Breast augmentation in Melbourne is no different from procedures performed in other parts of the globe; consultation is always a key part of the surgery, because the surgeon must first determine what kind of incision must be made for the particular needs of the person. For example, if the patient can opt to have surgical incisions performed in the armpit area, around the nipple, or below the breast, depending on where the location of the scar tissue formation is favoured.

Melbourne breast augmentation clinics such as Bayside Plastic Surgery, must perform patient screening first before allowing them to go under the knife. The primary question being asked during these screening procedures is the reason why they want their breasts to be altered. Nowadays, most women simply want to enhance their looks, because they believe that having fuller breasts makes them more confident during job interviews and many aspects of their personal and professional lives.

After a consultation, a Melbourne breast augmentation surgeon such as David Ross, provides options for the types of implants to be inserted, with the choices being either saline or silicone implants. The main differences between the two boil down to the material they are made of, and the age by which they can be used on patients. Saline implants are generally made of sterile salt solution, which is made up of water. They they are typically less expensive than silicone implants. Moreover, saline implants are often recommended for women undergoing breast augmentation under the age of 22. Silicone implants are composed of a silicon polymer that has the closest feeling as natural breast fat, making them more expensive than saline implants and typically more preferred by patients.

Patients undergoing surgery at Melbourne breast augmentation clinics should always keep in mind that, as with other medical procedures, plastic surgery requires a lot of planning and preparation in order to minimize risks. Still, there will always be a small percentage of people who may suffer from ruptures and scar formation. Proper screening ensures that these risks are kept to a minimum.

Most importantly, make sure to undergo surgery with a board-certified plastic surgeon that has the technical know-how and the years of practice in doing this complex procedure. Contact Dr. David Ross of Bayside Plastic Surgery today for a consultation!
