What You Must Know About Breast Implants

Breast implantsSo, you’ve been exercising, watching your diet, trying hard to maintain your figure, and you’ve succeeded… except for one small thing: Your once voluptuous breasts have transformed themselves into fat-free deflated skin. Fat free, lean body often results in a fat free chest, as well.

Back when you hated your body’s fat tissue, you failed to realize just how much that fat had to do with your cleavage. You liked your cleavage! It made you feel feminine and sexy, and it filled out your clothes. [...]

What You Ought to Know About Breast Implant History

Breast implantsBreast enlargement has a history that goes back over 119 years. During the first 65 years or so the enlargement was done primarily by directly injecting substances like paraffin, fat or silicon into the breasts. This method proved to be rather dangerous and led to many ill effects. Before the year 1962 plastic foam materials were used, however these too did not have much success. In 1963 two scientists namely Thomas Cronin and Frank Gerow did a research on breast implants and came up with the idea of implanting silicon bags directly into the breasts of women for breast enlargement. By the year 1972 a lot of women turned to these breast implants but also complained of many problems like leakage and ruptures. The silicon was then replaced with saline bags containing a saline (salt) solution. Even if these bags leaked there was no harm caused to the body as the water was absorbed up by the body.

The silicon breast implants used in present times for breast enlargement have gone over a number of changes from generation to generation. If we look at the history of breast implants, after 1963 there were three major generations of [...]

Breast Augmentation – How Much Does Breast Implant Surgery Cost?

breast implantIf you’re considering breast augmentation there are a few things to consider in terms of cost before you proceed with any breast enlargement. The costs of breast implant surgery and other breast plastic surgery are not always what they seem. There are many hidden costs that must be considered also.

For an initial breast augmentation surgery you should plan to pay at least $5000 to $6500 for saline breast implants and at least $6000 to $8000 for silicone breast implants. If you find doctors or surgeons who are charging less, be careful. It’s imperative that you make sure the surgeon is a board-certified plastic surgeon. There are doctors in other specialties such as dermatology who routinely perform these breast enhancement procedures.

These costs in the United States don’t vary too much except in New York City where they may be at least 50% more than the rest of the U.S.

When you’re quoted a price for breast implants make sure it includes the cost of the anesthesiologist, the board-certified plastic surgeons’ fee, the operating room, the hospital room and any other expenses. Make sure to ask about these fees because the surgeon’s fee may only be 65%-80% of the total cost of the surgery. [...]
