Breast implants and breast augmentation are the bread and butter of Plastic Surgery as breast augmentation has been the top cosmetic surgical procedure in the nation since 2006. When a patient comes in for a consultation and the plan reveals itself to be 'straightforward’ breast augmentation (let's face it, is there really anything completely straightforward?), the decisions regarding how exactly to proceed are relatively easy for me to reconcile but I feel strongly that knowledge is power and spend an inordinate amount of time explaining to my patients the pros and cons of every decision made to come to the best conclusion for them. Let me share with you some of these points to perhaps educate yourself if this is something you are considering or perhaps already have breast implants for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons and have some questions.

A mommy makeover is a general term that means ‘we’re going to fix baby damage.’ It is generally a combination of breast and body surgery but what those surgeries are is specific to each patient.
