Breast implants remain the best means of making breasts larger. Today, they are recognized as safe, and many of the little problems that for years shaded their reputation have largely faded away. The saline (salt water) filled silicone implants is by far the most popular option. Other materials have been introduced, but plastic surgeons will have to be convinced that they are at least as good before they are widely accepted.

The preferred incision site is along the bottom edge of the dark areola skin. The plastic surgeon then tunnels around the breast tissue and lifts up the pectoralis muscle to make a pocket behind it about the size of the implant. It goes in empty and saline is then added through a fill tube attached to a valve on the front of the implant. When it is full, he does some last minute contouring altering the pocket to allow the implant to fill out the breast. If one breast is larger, he compensates by adding different sized implants or by varying the amount of saline. When size and shape are optimal, the fill tube is removed, the valve is plugged and the incision is closed with a suture designed for minimal scarring. The scar at the edge of the areola is typically difficult to see after it matures.

In some cases, implants can be in front of the muscle, however most women look better when they are placed behind the muscle. By positioning the implants appropriately, the surgeon can make the desired cleavage. The disadvantage with placement in front is that if there is not enough breast tissue to cover then, saltwater implants can show waves or ripples through the skin, impairing the natural look. Front placement can also impair visualization in routine mammography.

Alternatively, incisions can be in the crease under the breast or in the axilla (armpit), but these tend to be more noticeable. The endoscope (an instrument designed for better visualization) does make the axilla incision acceptable, but it is a bit clumsier to do and the result is not any better. Despite what many have heard, numbness of the nipple after surgery is not more likely with areola incisions.

Taking some of your own fat and injecting it back into your breasts to make them bigger is a rare technique used by a few surgeons. Fat transferred this way can form little "eggshell" calcifications, making mammograms difficult to read. Doctors who have experience with this operation say that breasts can indeed be made larger, but it is difficult to make them "perkier" the way implants will. It is also possible to get lumps from fat injections, making breast exams difficult to do effectively.

A new technique is being developed by which a woman wears a harness around her chest for a few weeks. Negative pressure (suction) is applied and her breasts slowly enlarge. This works only for someone who wants to be a little larger. It is cumbersome but the results, though not immediate, have held up for a few months after the harness came off. It is still too soon to know if it will be useful.

For women seeking a natural look, saline filled breast implants produce the most beautiful result.

The breast enlargement surgery is extremely popular since the last 20 years. Women from around the globe decide to have a breast enlargement and the trend continues to be on the rise. The "boob job" (also referred to as breast augmentation) increases breast size and creates more shape and these women seem more feminine and confident.

The breast implants solution is usually considered by women who have always wanted bigger breast, after breast feeding, pregnancy or sudden weight loss.

Breast enlargement is one of the most popular form of plastic surgery procedure. Women are usually very satisfied with the results. Women with small breasts sometimes lack in self-confidence and the breast augmentation surgery can have spectacular effects on self-esteem.

Imagine having the chest of Calista Flockhart for most of your life. Then one day you wake up and you have a figure similar to Salma Hayek or Carmen Electra? It would do wonders for your self-confidence.

Breast enlargement is a simple, tried and tested plastic surgery procedure. It is performed under general anesthesia and it lasts under two hours and you will be required to stay in the hospital for the night for monitoring.

Breast Enlargement

BREAST ENLARGEMENT PROCEDURE

For many women, the volume of their breasts is an issue. Women who have small breasts, after childbirth for instance, may develop issues with their body. Many other women opt for breast augmentation surgery or breast enlargement (boob job) because they are not happy with the volume or shape of their breasts. It is a personal decision that should not be taken lightly obviously.

The breasts are composed of blood vessels, glandular tissue, fatty tissue, nerves, ducts and lymph nodes. Because they do not contain any muscle tissue, they cannot be enlarged by exercising them. Also, doctors do not recommend hormonal supplements because of their severe side effects. Therefore, only breast enlargement surgery ensures a beautiful and effective result.

On the first consultation, the cosmetic surgeon should explain the risks and benefits of breast enlargement. He should present the different types of implants because they vary depending on the size, filling and shape. To achieve the best result, the cosmetic surgeon will evaluate your physical condition and prpose breast implats that are adapted to your body.
