Deciding to have breast augmentation is a big decision both financially and emotionally, and you'll feel much more confident if you ask your surgeon the right questions and know what to expect. So here's a list of questions to get you started ...
1. What are the risks and complications of the surgery? It's important to know what the risks are so you can make the right decision for you.
2. Over the lifetime of your breast implants, how many surgeries will you need to have? The original surgery is just the beginning - implants don't last a lifetime.
3. What is the right size, shape, and texturing for you? Each woman's body is different.
4. What do you recommend for the placement and incision site? There are options.
5. Will my ability to breastfeed be affected? This is especially important if you haven't had children yet.
6. How will my implants look over time? How will pregnancy affect them? You will want to know if they will stay looking as perky as they are now, what type of movement you can expect.
7. How will my implants look after breastfeeding?
8. Are there alternative procedures available to breast implants?
9. Do you take before and after pictures I can look at to see what I can expect?
10. What if cancer occurs or recurs in my breast?
11. Will breast reconstruction interfere with cancer treatments?
12. What are my breast reconstruction options?
13. How much pain is there after the implant procedure?
14. How long is the hospital stay?
15. When can I resume normal activities?
If you get the answers to these questions from your surgeon, you will be more relaxed and comfortable about the procedure you are about to undertake. Why not print the list and take it with you?
