4 Most Important Things to Consider Before Getting Breast Implants

If you’ve been thinking of a makeover for the new year, breast augmentation with implants may be one of those cosmetic procedures in your list. Here at our Bay area plastic surgery practice, women seek Dr. Lavey’s expertise in breast augmentation not just for his meticulous surgical skills but also for his deftness in natural balance and body aesthetics.

While there are a good number of physical factors to consider when thinking about getting breast implants — from choosing implant types to deciding which incision technique suits you best to implant placement, there are 4 important considerations that you should not overlook before making the decision to undergo breast enhancement surgery with implants.

Lifestyle

Your hobbies or level of activity on a daily basis should be one of your primary considerations before getting breast implants. If you regularly run marathons or perhaps lift weights at least twice a week, you need to choose implants that won’t negatively affect the way you compete or interfere with your exercise routine. Too large implants may slow you down and/or cause discomfort.

Personality

If you’re the life-of-the-party-type, the attention from having large implants may not bother you. However, if you’re someone who is more reserved and less vivacious, choosing extremely large implants for your frame may not be the best option. If you’re the reserved type, you can request for a more subtle breast enhancement.

Career

Breast enhancement surgery will work to your advantage if your career has to do with modeling, performance arts, and similar jobs that require physical attractiveness. On the other hand, you might want to reconsider large implant sizes if you work in a conservative environment.

Recovery

Recovery is a vital component that influences whether or not you get the results you want following breast augmentation. By and large, you need to makes sure that you have enough time allotted for a quick, safe, and comfortable recovery.
