Motivators for a Woman to have Breast Augmentation Myth Busted

motivators for a woman to have breast augmentation

What are the motivators for a woman to have breast augmentation? A recent survey of 1500 British women revealed some surprising results. The survey was done by MyBreast.org, which specializes in British breast augmentation services. The survey clearly busts one myth about what are the motivators for a woman to have breast augmentation.

Motivators for a Woman to have Breast Augmentation Myth Busted 

“Breast implants are not about size or getting a man. Most British women considering breast enlargement surgerywant their busts to be just a bit bigger and say it’sn’t to attract men. A survey by Mybreast.org, Britain’s only specialist breast augmentation service, revealed that seventy-eight percent of women looking into the procedure only wanted to go up one or 2 cup sizes. Only 3 percent of the more than 1,500 respondents said they wanted larger breasts to attract men, while sixty-six percent of women viewed bigger breasts as a way to boost confidence.Thirty percent said it could make them feel more womanly. The 2 most important factors for considering breast surgery were the surgeon’s reputation, qualifications and the quality of the implants”

One myth about the motivators for a woman to have breast augmentation is that it’s related to a man. One version of the myth is that the woman is having breast augmentation to please her partner. The other version of the myth is the woman is having breast augmentation to catch a man. Based upon the survey neither version of the myth is true; both are false.

The survey on motivators for a woman to have breast augmentation establishes that in 96% of times a woman is having breast augmentation for her own reasons. Those reasons are usually have more confidence or to look more womanly.

Here is a related post concerning motivators for woman to have breast augmentation.

Inamed's Breast Implant Leakage Warranty

There are two companies, Mentor and Inamed that produce and sell breast implants in the United States. Both companies have excellent breast implant leakage warranties to cover their product. A recent article covered the key items of Inamed’s breast implant leakage warranty.

If a woman is considering having a breast augmentation then knowing about the breast implant leakage warranty is wise.

Inamed’s Breast Implant Leakage Warranty

The essence of the breast implant leakage warranty is this is a warranty if the breast implants leaks. Both the saline breast implants and silicone gel breast implants can leak. If there is leakage of a breast implant then replacement is usually advised. It is this situation that causes the warranty of the breast implant to be activated.

 

Many plastic surgeons recommend replacement of both the implants if one of the implants leaks.

Saline Rather Then Silicone Gel Breast Implants

Posted on November 8, 2011 by robert

silicone gel breast implants

It is unusual to find an article on silicone gel breast implants that I completely agree with. I have found such an article. The article is titled “silicone gel breast implants are back? So what?”

 

The opinions in the article about silicone gel breast implants are based upon extensive experience. I find the author’s logic faultless. It’s best to read his words.

Saline Rather Then Silicone Gel Breast Implants 

 

“There’s an opinion that’s asserted by breast implant manufacturers — and echoed by many physicians — that silicone gel-filled implants are better than saline-filled implants. In my opinion, “it ain’t necessarily so.”

Since the FDA moratorium on silicone gel-filled implants began in 1992, I, like many plastic surgeons in the United States, had been limited to using saline implants for primary breast augmentation surgery. Between 1992 and 2008, I placed Mentor smooth round saline implants in more than 3,500 patients.

In November 2006, the FDA approved silicone gel implants. Soon after, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported “that plastic surgeons said they would quickly become preferred among the nearly 300,000 women in this country who have breast implants each year.” Mentor called the decision a “historic moment,” while Allergan, the other silicone gel implant manufacturer, said it “created new options for women.”The main selling point was that silicone gel implants feel more natural.

In the two-year period from November 2006 through October 2008, only 4 of my 709 patients requested silicone gel-filled implants. They have not become “preferred” over silicone implants.”

Here’s some more of the same article on silicone gel breast implants.

“The saline implants, which are empty, can be folded and placed through a small incision. My incisions are usually about 3 cm, whereas a pre-filled silicone-gel implant requires a 5-7 cm incision on average. Also, it’s much easier, and requires less dissection, to put an empty implant through an incision than to try to manipulate — without breaking — a gel-filled implant.

In my experience, rippling is a very rare occurrence, even nine months or more after surgery when the skin is fully stretched, the muscle fully relaxed and the breasts completely healed into their final shape. Rippling might occur if a patient has had a significant weight loss with a corresponding loss of body fat, or if moderately droopy breasts get significantly droopier and skin becomes very thin after childbirth.

If a woman were dissatisfied with the feel or look of the rippling, she would be a good candidate for an exchange to a silicone gel-filled implant, but only at this point.

When a saline implant deflates, the breast returns to its original size, and the deflation is very obvious. When a silicone gel implant ruptures, the cohesive gel relatively maintains its shape, and there is usually no physical sign of this change. So, to evaluate these implants for rupture, implant companies recommend that patients have an MRI three years after surgery and every two years thereafter. These MRIs are not covered by insurance.

To top it off, silicone gel implants cost about ,000 more per pair than saline implants.

Saline vs. silicone? If a patient requests silicone gel implants, no problem. But if a patient asks my opinion, I recommend saline, without hesitation.”

The one time I recommend silicone gel breast implants is when a patient is absolutely flat. In a situation where the chest is ‘flat like a boy’ silicon gel breast implants may be the preferred choice.

Breast Augmentation Using Grafted Fat

Posted on November 7, 2011 by robert

DR. MICHAEL D. VENNEMEYER of Cincinnati Ohio has written an excellent article on breast augmentation using grafted fat.

breast augmentation using grafted fat

 

We posted an article on stem cell breast augmentation. That article is a good partner for this article. Some of the same concerns are present with the use of stem cells as with breast augmentation using grafted fat.

 Breast Augmentation Using Grafted Fat 

 

“However, there is an advantage to using fat because most of the breast is made of this in the first place. It feels more natural because it is natural.

Despite these advantages, caution is advised. We do not know the long term effects of large volume fat injection into the breast. It is probably safe, but studies are looking at this. Smaller volumes of fat injection are frequently used as a supplemental procedure in breast reconstruction. It is a fantastic way to fine tune the shape of a reconstructed breast.

One concern is that injected fat does not always survive. When it dies, it can harden from calcium crystals forming in the expired clumps of fat. When you are using the larger volumes of fat required for cosmetic breast enlargement, this creates two potential problems. First, you may feel these calcified areas as lumps. Second, these areas can be seen on mammograms, which may interfere with breast cancer surveillance. These issues are not generally a problem when the fat is injected in tiny amounts. Small particles of fat tend to survive well.

Beyond safety are some practical issues. It takes many hours to perform this procedure since the fat must be injected in minute quantities at a time. It can take as many as six or eight hours. This means that the procedure will cost much more than a one to two hour breast augmentation with implants. Additionally, since all of the fat may not survive transfer, multiple procedures may be necessary to get enough fat to create the right size. Thin women may not even have enough extra fat to achieve the size they want.”

The key point that is made is that breast augmentation using grafted fat is not fully tested yet. It does seem to be effective. It also has some significant drawbacks using present technology. It cannot be done with every patient. Some patients may not have enough fat to allow for breast augmentation using grafted fat.

History and Impact of Breast Augmentations

Posted on November 3, 2011 by robert

History and Impact of Breast Augmentations

The most popular cosmetic surgery procedure in the United States in 2010 was breast augmentation. In that year approximately 300,000-breast augmentations were performed in the United States.

 History and Impact of Breast Augmentations

Breast augmentations often produces dramatic results. I have assumed that this is a modern quest. Then I came across two different articles. The first article deals with some of the historical facts about breast augmentations.

 

When was the first breast augmentation performed? I had assumed it was 1962 in Dallas Texas. Read the truth about the first breast augmentations!

“Breast Augmentation was founded about the 1800s. Vincenz Czerny a Austrain-German surgeon performed the 1st recognized breast implant. Making use of excess tissue from a deformity on her back Czerny attempted to improve the size of the clients’ breast. The process was unsuccessful. Although the operation was a failure, this act led the way to the investigation of a material that could be used for breast enlargement.”

What materials have been used to do breast augmentations? Some of the things in this list I knew. Many of the materials used for breast augmentations surprised me. Be amazed and startled with the list!

“A lot of sorts of supplies had been examined in a attempt to uncover a compatible material that would not only increase the size of the breast but would also retain the natural feel  and look of unaltered breast. Some of the supplies that were investigated were Ivory, ground rubber, ox cartilage, gutta percha (a plant found in Southeast Asia), polyethylene (A widely utilized plastic), Ivalon and a couple of other synthetic materials. All of these materials had been not suitable for breast enlargement.”

After reading the history of breast augmentations I reflected on why this strong desire tohave breast augmentation. I came across to an article that talks about the important benefits of breast augmentations to the woman  from this surgery. Read her discussion.

“Elevated sex appeal is closely tied with a high level of self confidence and self esteem – all three are intricately linked to each other. If you boost one of those three, more than likely you’ll boost the other two at the same time. Sex appeal is far more important to the average woman than it is to the average man. As a direct result of that obvious difference between men and women, the beauty industry is alive and well! Women have a multitude of solutions available that are designed to specifically boost sex appeal. One of those solutions is a surgical procedure called breast augmentation. Perhaps you’ve heard of it?

Breast augmentation surgery is the number one performed plastic surgery procedure in the world. That fact gives credence to the notion that sex appeal is extremely important to women; by purchasing breast implants and improving the aesthetic appearance of her breasts, a woman can considerably elevate her sex appeal by spending a few thousand dollars.

The goal of any type of breast enhancement surgery is to mimic the look and feel of youthful breasts. There are obvious characteristics that are shared between young women in regards to their breasts: they are firm, they sit high on the chest, and there is no visible sag or breast droop when clothing is removed. Additionally, large, full breasts are closely associated with youth and a high level of sex appeal.”

 

Indeed breast augmentations has had a long and colorful history. The benefits of breast augmentations are indeed powerful drivers. The increase confidence, increased sex appeal, and increased self-esteem often result from breast augmentation. No wonder it has become the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States.

Clinical Trials Cohesive Gel Breast Implant

Posted on November 2, 2011 by robert

cohesive gel breast implant

Allyson Quesada recently wrote an article on the cohesive gel breast implant. The FDA for routine use in the United States has not approved the cohesive gel breast implant. They have been used for 20 years in many areas around the world. The cohesive gel breast implant are undergoing clinical trial in the United States.

Clinical Trials Cohesive Gel Breast Implant 

“The term ‘cohesive gel’ refers to the gel’s thickness – how much it bonds together. The thicker the gel, the more cohesive it is. In the case of cohesive gel implants, the gel is a solid mass of gel. Its cohesiveness is such that there is no liquid element whatsoever. With a cohesive device, you cannot squeeze it and displace its filler in the same manner that you can saline devices or traditional silicone devices.

Traditional breast implants are available in two design styles: round and anatomical. The new cohesive gel device is only available in an anatomical shape. The reason why is because its solid form of gel is immune to the pull of gravity; if the implant were spherically shaped it would look abnormal on a woman’s chest because it would never change shape regardless of how the woman positioned her body.

As mentioned above, the new cohesive device does not contain liquid. A non-liquid breast implant is the ideal solution for implant rupture and leakage. For years, the traditional silicone gel implant device has been the subject of extreme controversy over safety concerns relating to the interaction of its silicone gel and the human body. The new cohesive gel breast implant eliminates all leakage concerns simply because it does not contain any liquid whatsoever and therefore it cannot leak its filler into the human body.

The solid nature of the gel and the fact that the implant is always produced in an anatomical shape leads to one potential problem: the implant device will always maintain its shape and form regardless of the pull of gravity. Thus, a woman standing on her head will have the same aesthetic breast appearance as a woman standing in the upright position. Is this a benefit or a drawback? That’s for you to decide.

The human body has a defense mechanism when a foreign object enters the body. It will form a layer of scar tissue around the object and isolate it from coming into contact with the body. When this occurs with a breast implant device, the condition is referred to as capsular contracture. The condition occurs infrequently with both saline and traditional silicone gel devices. The new cohesive gel device appears to be impervious to capsular contracture, at least according to early data collected throughout the world.

There are two negative traits associated with the cohesive gel device. The first is its potential for surgical scarring. Because the device is a solid mass of gel it requires larger than normal incisions in order for it to be inserted into the breast pocket. The second negative trait is if the device rotates it will require corrective surgery in order to restore the implant to its proper position. Of course, all anatomically shaped implants will require corrective surgery should the implant rotate within the breast pocket (not just cohesive implants).”

The cohesive gel breast implant is often referred to as the Gummy Bear implant. This is because its feel is very much like the candy of the same name.

 

The cohesive gel breast implant when used for breast augmentation may have a firmer less natural feel than other implants.

Best Beneath Chest Muscle With Breast Implants

Posted on October 31, 2011 by robert

A patient asks is it best beneath chest muscle with breast implants?

 

best beneath chest muscle with breast implants

37 plastic surgeons from all over the United States provide their responses. 23 of the 37 recommended that it is  best beneath chest muscle with breast implants. 14 of the 37 plastic surgeons said it depends. They sometimes recommend breast implants be placed above the chest muscle. One of the plastic surgeons was not clear about the recommendation.

Best Beneath Chest Muscle With Breast Implants

Here are two responses from plastic surgeons answering best beneath chest muscle with breast implants?

Dr. Michael Law from Raleigh-Durham answers:

“This may be a somewhat controversial statement, but in my opinion there currently is really only one acceptable position for breast implants in an elective cosmetic surgery patient: behind the pectoralis major muscle (sub-pectoral augmentation). There are a number of very compelling reasons to place implants behind the pec major, and the most compelling one of all is the fact that radiologists report that the mammographic imaging of breasts for the purpose of breast cancer screening tends to be more easily accomplished when breast implants are sub-pectoral (compared to pre-pectoral, also referred to as the ‘sub-mammary’ position). An American woman’s current lifetime risk of breast cancer is approximately 1 in 8 to 1 in 9, so the issue of breast cancer screening must be taken very seriously. Mammography is by no means a perfect screening study, but it is the standard of care at this point in time. The most sensitive and specific test for breast cancer is a contrast-enhanced MRI scan, and breast implants do not impair breast tissue visualization by MRI.

The next very compelling reason to select sub-pectoral placement is a cosmetic one. Implants placed on top of the pec major tend to stand out in the upper pole of the breast, creating a rounded, convex and distinctly unnatural-appearing breast profile. With implants in a sub-pectoral position, the upper pole of the implant is flattened somewhat by the muscle, helping to create a smooth transition from the area in the upper chest where the breast begins, and a gradual slope towards the nipple that is not excessively rounded or convex. In some patients with a fuller breast volume preoperatively one may get an acceptable appearance with pre-pectoral placement – initially. The problem is that as breasts age, the fatty tissue atrophies and breast tissue thins out, and the area where this is most obvious is in the upper pole and cleavage area. So a pre-pectoral implant that was initially well-concealed may, after a few years, become painfully obvious (including visible implant folds and ripples) in the upper pole.”

 

Dr. Paul Zweibel from Denver answers:

“Under the muscle is best for:

  • thin women
  • women with little breast tissue to cover the implant
  • women with little or no drooping of the breast
  • softer, more natural draping of the implant
  • concealing implant ripples
  • less chance of developing capsule contracture

Over the muscle is best for:

  • faster recovery
  • women with enough natural breast tissue to cover the implant
  • women with drooping who want larger breasts without a breast lift”

The plastic surgeons gave 4 reasons that it is best beneath chest muscle with breast implants. Those reasons are: there is less rippling, there is less chance of contracture, the breast looks more natural, and mammograms more effective.

 

There were two reasons they felt it was not best beneath chest muscle with breast implants. Those reasons are: when breasts sagging was present and when rapid recovery was the key issue.

Silicone Breast Implants Benefits Tacoma Asks

Posted on October 28, 2011 by robert

What are the  silicone breast implants benefits?

Once a woman has decided to have breast augmented then she has to make several choices. One of the decisions is whether the breast implant is silicone or saline filled. It is important  to know the difference.

silicone breast implants benefits

 

 Silicone Breast Implants Benefits Tacoma Asks

The following excerpt from the article ‘What are the silicone breast implants benefits?’  has a discussion of the topic.


“Although there has been a storm of controversy has surrounded the use of silicone over the past couple of decades, the FDA has approved them for use once again following fourteen years of clinical trials.  Accessible in the United States since 2006, they have been the implant of choice around the globe.

 

You need to comprehend that the silicone breast implants of nowadays are significantly different than those used in the early years of breast augmentation.  Now recognized as fifth generation implants, the silicone filler right now is called cohesive gel.  The benefit to this kind of silicone is that is thick and will hold together even upon rupture.  Even if cut in half, the silicone gel holds to the implant shell which also thicker and more durable than in earlier generations.

Most females and plastic surgeons will say that using silicone implants in breast augmentation will result in a fuller a lot more natural seeking breast.  Definitely this is 1 of the biggest concerns in breast augmentation is to develop a breast that looks and feels as although it is natural.  In addition, a lot of will also say that it outcomes in fuller cleavage than with a saline implant.

There is also a benefit in that silicone implants will not usually have the rippling impact that a saline implant may possibly have.  Some girls have noted that a saline implant will even make a sloshing sound throughout movement which of course does not happen with a silicone breast implant.

Silicone breast implants arrive to the operating room already prefilled with a predetermined quantity of filler.  This makes it even far more important for you to have decided which breast implant size is appropriate for you.  Given the price you will incur with silicone breast implants it is far more critical that you choose the proper breast implant size ahead of time.”

The author of the article correctly points out that silicone implants cost about $1000 more than saline implants. One disadvantage of the silicone implant is that if it ruptures you may not be able to tell without an MRI. That is why the FDA recommends women with silicone breast implants obtain an MRI every three years.

Silicone gel breast implants are extremely valuable in women who have very little fat or breast tissue. The breast will feel much more natural than when saline is used.  This  is one of the silicone breast implants benefits.

Tacoma Breast Augmentation More Likely?

Posted on October 27, 2011 by robert

breast augmentation more likely

In which part of the country is breast augmentation more likely?

 

CBS news took a careful look at the statistics supplied by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. They divided the country into five sections. They wondered is breast augmentation more likely in any of the five sections. They compared statistics from each section. They published the results. In which part of the countrywould you say is breast augmentation more likely ?

 Tacoma  Breast Augmentation More Likely? 

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons more than 296,000 breast augmentations were performed in the United States in 2010. Here’s the breakdown of the five sections of the United States and the percentage from each section. Did you guess where is breast augmentation more likely?

  • -the New England and Middle Atlantic region consists of Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Vermont, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania.
  • “Breast implant surgery accounts for 14% of all plastic surgeries performed in the region.”
  • –the South Atlantic region consists of Delaware, Washington DC, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia.
  • “Breast implant surgery accounts for 15% of all plastic surgeries performed in the region.”
  • –the North-Central region consists of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, and South Dakota.
  • “Breast implant surgery accounts for 16% of all plastic surgeries performed in the region.”
  • –the South-Central region consists of Alabama, Kentucky, Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Texas.
  • “Breast implant surgery accounts for 16% of all plastic surgeries performed in the region.”
  • -the Mountain and Pacific region consists of Arizona, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, Arkansas, California, Hawaii, Oregon, and Washington.
  • “Breast implants are biggest out West–they account for 38 percent of the plastic surgeries in the region.”

 

After looking at the statistics I’m amazed. I expected to answer the question ’is breast augmentation more likely in certain parts of the country’  with a yes. I expected there to be a difference yet not as dramatic a difference. I would sure like to know if the average age of the patients that had breast augmentation is different in various sections of the country? There are many different ways these statistics can be looked at. I wonder if breast augmentation is less accepted in certain parts of the country? What are the cultural differences that caused this striking difference in statistics?

 

Please post comments you have concerning ‘is breast augmentation more likely‘ in the space below. Thank you.

Understanding Breast Augmentation Risks

Posted on October 26, 2011 by robert

breast augmentation risks

Understanding the risks associated with a surgical procedure is part of the preparation for surgery. The breast augmentation risks can be divided into short-term and long-term risks.

 Understanding Breast Augmentation Risks

Here are the

that were discussed in a recent articlein the Articles Factory.

 ”One common complication that happens during breast augmentation surgery is risk for infection. Like any invasive surgery, there is always some level of risk. Plastic surgery procedures are also referred to as elective surgeries, implying that since these are medically unnecessary one would elect to have them done. Because of the elective nature, surgeons are very careful to qualify patients for surgery, taking on patients whose bodies are healthy enough to under go the procedure to help alleviate risks of infection or other health complications associated with heart conditions and blood clotting.

Capsular contracture is when scar tissue grows and builds up around and onto the implant. This is most common with silicone implants. The problem is that scar tissue constricts the implant. This may cause a variety of complications such as sensitivity, pain, or it can cause the implant seal to break. When this happens, implants need to be removed immediately. Because this is your body’s way of dealing with a foreign object in your body, you may have to consider an alternative to breast augmentation, such as a fat transfer.

Asymmetry is also a common problem after a breast augmentation surgery. This is when your implants are not symmetrical in size, shape, or orientation. In natural breasts there is always some slight occurrence of asymmetry but when going in for surgery, the asymmetry can be instantly noticeable. In these cases, often both implants need to be replaced. To avoid complicationsFree Web Content, it is important to make sure that you take care of yourself during the initial recovery period. “

The three main  breast augmentation risks that were discussed were infection, capsular contracture, and asymmetry.

 

I looked at the breast augmentation risks in terms of short-term risks and long-term risks . The short-term breast augmentation risks are infection and bleeding. If infection occurs around the breast implant the breast implant needs to be removed. It is then usually replaced after six months time. The incidence of infection around a breast implant is less than 1%.

 

The other short-term breast augmentation risk is bleeding. This is commonly called a hematoma. This occurs in approximately 4% of women who have breast augmentation. The treatment of a hematoma is to remove the blood collection and replace the implant.

 

The long-term breast augmentation risks are capsular contracture, asymmetry, and deflation.
