Having cosmetic plastic surgery in South Carolina encompasses many different procedures. One of them is breast augmentation surgery with breast implants. Breast implants come in a variety of shapes, surface textures, and sizes. Depending on the desired shape you wish to achieve, you and your plastic surgeon may choose a round or shaped breast implant shape. Generally, the larger you want your cup size, the larger the breast implant the plastic surgeon will consider (measured in cubic centimeters, or cc\'s).
Virtually all breast implants are made of a round or shaped silicone elastomer (rubber) shell, and are now commonly filled with a saline solution (salt water). Saline solution is used to fill the breast implant because it is similar to the fluids in your body, and will be absorbed by your body should the breast implant leak or break.
Your plastic surgery specialist will evaluate your existing tissue to determine if you have enough to cover the breast implant. If you desire a breast implant size too large for your tissue, the plastic surgeon may warn you that breast implant edges may be apparent or visible post-operatively. Contact a South Carolina plastic surgeon today.
You’ve obtained names of plastic surgeons, and you’ve checked their credentials, read testimonials, reviewed before and after\'s and have narrowed the list, then gathered and evaluated information from each of their offices. Now it’s time for the main event—your consultation with plastic surgeons. No matter how great you may think one is, you don’t really know if you don’t compare! You’re cheating yourself if you don’t consult more than one plastic surgeon.
Your best chance for a full consultation is at a time when the plastic surgeon is least likely to be rushed. Many plastic surgeons operate in the morning and see patients in the afternoon. Ask if appointments are available in the morning or any time on a day when the plastic surgeon is not operating. You won’t sit in the waiting room as long.
If you make the right choice of plastic surgeon, the rest is easier. The best plastic surgeon should always present you with options and should discuss the trade-offs of each option or set of options, as well as discussing factors that are not controllable and what a breast augmentation won’t change about your breasts.
