ELITE BREAST AUGMENTATION
Breast enlargement surgery, also mentioned as breast augmentation or boob job, is among the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the UK today. Some women wish to increase the size of their breasts, others wish to reshape or correct the difference in size between their breasts.
There are many options available for women who decide to have a breast augmentation and therefore it’s important to make an informed decision.
HOW IS BOOB JOB PERFORMED?
The operation involves the insertion of a breast prosthesis which consists of soft or cohesive gel, silicone contained in a silicone bag. The implants are placed either behind or in front of the pectoralis major muscle which lies under the breast itself.
In most of the cases the implants are placed in between the mammary gland and the muscle, only in a few situations like lack of enough breast tissue to cover the implants, the implants go under the muscle, this is to offer some coverage and disguise better the implants.
It should not interfere with the diagnosis or treatment of any future breast disease, and there is no relation with silicone implants and breast cancer.
SHOULD I WAIT UNTIL I AM DONE HAVING CHILDREN?
Breast enhancement does not interfere with breastfeeding and in most cases does not interfere with nipple sensation.
WILL BREAST AUGMENTATION INCREASE MY RISK OF BREAST CANCER?
This is one of the most frequently asked questions by women considering this surgery. Many studies have shown that women who get implants are not at an increased risk for getting breast cancer. In addition, implants do not delay the detection of breast cancer. Numerous studies, as well as evidence from the National Cancer Institute, show that having implants does not hinder the patient or their physician in finding breast tumors. Finally, breast implant patients who do get breast cancer have the same chance of obtaining remission, or being free of cancer for 5 years, as women without implants.
