When patients come to the surgeon to talk about breast enlargement, they are often amazed to find that although the basic operation is not complex there are many decisions they must make.
The six most important questions to ask are about the incision, whether the implant is above or below the muscle, the size and the shape of the implant, the contents of the implant and whether or not the surface is smooth or rough (textured).
You should talk about these issues with your surgeon, so that BEFORE surgery you are well prepared.
There are many different ways to do breast augmentation, the outcome will depend a lot on the technique. No one method is best for all people. The surgeon will try to explain and tailor the method to each patient differently.
