The Super Fast Guide To Breast Surgery Cosmetic Procedures
Unless you live on Mars, you can't have escaped the media attention given to breast surgery cosmetic procedures these days. Breast surgery is one of the most chosen plastic surgeries worldwide, and is currently in the list of top five most performed operations in both America and Britain. When you read or hear about it, you will hear a lot of different terms used - if you ever felt you were not sure what they meant, this article could help make it all clear.
This article gives you an explanation of which operations the terms breast 'augmentation', 'reduction' and 'uplifting' refer to, why women might choose to have them done and general principles of how they are performed. This can help give you a fuller picture of why someone you know might be choosing to have one of these operations, or whether you yourself might want to look into them further.
Breast augmentation surgeries are for women, and quite simply aim to make the breasts bigger. The operation is sometimes used to bring symmetry to very uneven breasts and always increases the general size. The procedure uses silicone or saline implants depending on where you live. In the USA, saline is favoured, whereas in the UK silicone is used more. This operation is the classic 'boob job' so beloved in the tabloids, but it isn't the only type of surgery, in fact in real life, many women opt for an entirely opposite procedure.
Breast reduction surgery for women removes tissue and skin to give a new shape. It aims to give relief from discomfort and pain due to larger, heavier breasts. This is quite a common surgery, as many women are acutely self-conscious about having a very full cleavage and it can often interfere with exercise or even everyday chores. Women typically have ongoing pain or tenderness and find bras can feel very uncomfortbale and sore on their shoulders. As well as operations which make the breast size bigger or smaller, there is a third option which looks at the contour of the breasts instead.
Breast uplifting surgery purely aims to lift breasts which have become saggier into a higher position. It frequently uses a surgical incision, the cutting away of looser breast skin and a new positioning of the nipple higher up the breast to make the cleavage seem firmer and perter. Typical candidates include former dieters, where loose skin has made a saggier outline, or women who find their shape has altered after having children.
Whilst they are popular and frequently promoted operations, they are not without risks, just like any major operation. Whilst it can be easy to get carried away with the promises in all the glossy advertising, rather than a little nip and tuck, theses procedures are all major operations under full anaesthetic, often requiring manual drainage tubes inserted during surgery. This quick guide should leave you better informed about the different procedures and who might want them, so you can relate to those choosing them better or perhaps decide whether you want to investigate one further for yourself.
