The way you care for yourself throughout the days, weeks, and months following breast augmentation will end up playing a major role in your final results. But before you go into surgery, knowing more about how you’ll feel immediately after your procedure can help you cope and get through your earliest hours with new, enhanced breasts.

If you’ve been thinking about enhancing the appearance of your breasts, there are two common breast surgeries that can help you achieve your ideal look, depending on your personal goals. Breast augmentation helps increase breast volume and enhance breast shape, while breast lift surgery helps reshape breasts that have started to droop or sag.

 If you’ve already scheduled an appointment for breast augmentation, you’re most likely feeling excited about the positive changes that will soon be happening to your body and emotional well-being. After all, cosmetic surgery not only helps enhance your physical appearance and the way you feel about your body, but can boost your confidence and self-esteem, too!

To ensure the best possible results from your breast enhancement procedure, you must follow a set of steps in the weeks and days before your procedure that will help you prepare for surgery.

Weight loss can improve your health, make you feel better, and enhance your physical appearance, but there’s a downside to losing weight that most women don’t anticipate. You want to be healthy and take care of yourself, so you start exercising and following a healthy diet. You might feel happy about fitting into smaller sizes, and perhaps some of your problem areas are shrinking and you have more energy.

Many women look for ways to increase their breast size without having surgery. Some are too busy to take time off for breast augmentation surgery, while others may be looking for a more subtle cosmetic enhancement, and aren’t sure whether they want breast implants.

If this sounds like you, consider having an alternate cosmetic procedure known as breast fat transfer. Just as the name implies, your cosmetic surgeon harvests your body’s own fat (usually from an area like the thighs, abdomen, or flanks), processes it with special equipment, and injects it into an area where you really want it -- your bust line.

Breasts can start increasing in size early in pregnancy, and continue to grow as months progress. If a woman breastfeeds, she’ll likely keep her increased size until completion of nursing. For a woman who always had small breasts, this can be a welcome change. But what about the months and years that follow? You may have heard other women talk about enjoying their new, larger breasts obtained through pregnancy. Is it possible to keep bigger breasts while eliminating excess skin and weight?

Last year, more than 300,000 women of all ages, shapes, sizes, and professions underwent breast augmentation surgery.

Most cosmetic surgeons will tell you there is no “magic age” or special formula to determine when you should choose breast augmentation. Each woman’s situation, personality, and life is different, so it’s a deeply personal choice. So how can you make such a big decision? The following factors are good indicators that it’s the right time to consider breast augmentation:

When it comes to breasts, you want the shape and size to complement your figure and make you look your best. That’s why thousands of women undergo successful breast augmentation each year. Whether you go with larger or smaller breasts, most women have one main concern: they want to look natural.

Of course, what looks natural on one woman may not be desirable on another. And, “natural” means different things to different people. That’s why when you’re deciding upon the implant size you want, you’ll need to take into account not only your own wishes, but also the size of your frame, how you want your clothes to fit, and what’s practical for your body type.

In one year, about 300,000 women undergo breast augmentation surgery. Perhaps thousands more women are thinking about getting breast augmentation -- but they haven’t taken that first step.

Moms in particular often hesitate to get cosmetic surgery. Most mothers today are stretched thin between family, work, and social obligations -- so getting cosmetic surgery is often at the bottom of a very long to-do list. But what they don’t realize is that finding a little time to get the procedure they’ve been wanting can do so much for their personal and professional well-being. Here are some of the most common reasons moms feel they can’t get the breast augmentation they really want -- and what to do about them:
