Breast augmentation
Discuss volume, proportion, and long-term planning.
Discuss this procedure ↗A consultation is a conversation. Surgery is a separate decision.
What to understand
The purpose.
And the perspective.
Breast augmentation is a conversation about volume and shape using an approach appropriate to the individual. Implant decisions require discussion of device-specific risks, monitoring, and the possibility of additional surgery.
Whether surgery is appropriate depends on an individual assessment, medical history, goals, and informed discussion. No outcome is guaranteed.
General reading: American Society of Plastic Surgeons ↗
Make the conversation useful
What are the specific risks and follow-up needs of each option?
What costs could arise from future monitoring or surgery?
Points to bring with you
Look at the whole decision.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices.
Discuss the FDA patient information and decision checklist for any proposed implant.
Pregnancy, weight changes, and aging can affect breast appearance.
These are discussion prompts, not a complete list of risks. Ask for the proposed procedure's full consent information and an explanation of your individual risks.
Your pace. Your decision.
