Breast augmentations are one of the most popular operations nowadays. Astonishing results play an enormous part in the popularity of these operations. But there are some important points to consider before getting a breast augmentation. Let’s take a look at these points one by one and clear some misconceptions about breast augmentations.

• Which one do you prefer – implants or fat transfer?

When we refer to breast augmentations people usually assume that we are talking about saline or silicone implants. Yes, these implants were being commonly used in the past. However, nowadays, most patients prefer having their fat grafts taken from them to be used as supports to enhance the size of their breasts. So, the second approach is more natural, but the first approach provides longer-lasting results.

• You can’t fix sagging breasts with a breast augmentation

Breast augmentation operations are only for enhancing the size of your breasts. So, you can’t have a breast augmentation and expect it to fix your sagging breasts. In fact, increasing the volume of sagging breasts would make the problem even worse. Fixing sagging breasts requires a breast lift operation. So, pick your procedure accordingly. Some patients go with a combined package which includes both breast augmentation and a breast lift. So, remember you have that option too.

• Choosing your breast implant type is not an easy task

You can choose from a wide range of implants all with various shapes, textures and profiles. You should be sure to consider your body proportions, posture and skin elasticity while choosing the right size for your implant. Too large implants can cause back and shoulder problems in the future, so, be sure to remember this when selecting the size you want. All in all, there are various options and many factors to consider before your final decision. Your surgeon will also help you during this process with his knowledge based on his experience.

• Put out your cigarettes

We don’t need to explain how much smoking harms you. Quit smoking already! But if you are struggling with quitting it, you should at least stop smoking two weeks prior to your operation. Smokers may face some complications during their operations. Your surgeon may cancel your procedure just because of this. The nicotine you inhale can slow down your blood vessels and cause problems with your blood circulation. Moreover, the carbon monoxide in cigarettes can hinder your recovery period as it affects the oxygen supply to healing tissues.
