 Are Breast Impants for Me?
Cosmetic
Surgery Is A Personal Choice
Many (if not most) people that come for an Atlanta breast implant consultation have
been thinking about it for a while...sometimes years.
Some worry about what others will think. Others have personal
issues with regards to surgery. It is a philosophical
issue really, especially to those who believe that they
should be taken for "what they are." In our
body-conscious society, many people exercise incessantly
to maintain their condition. Some issues are more easily
"exercised-away" than others. Consideration
of Atlanta cosmetic surgery for those issues that persist is a
frequent complaint in those patients that do come for
consultation. Only you can decide whether looking into
this option is right for you. Regardless of the decision you make in the long run, we are happy to provide you with most current and helpful Atlanta breast lift and augmentation information so that you can make an educated decision for yourself. |
The
Opinions of Others
Within this framework, we must always consider the opinions
of others. Some may consider the act of surgery (especially
upon a well person) as somewhat wrong. Many people ask
how they should tell these other people about their surgery.
Some people choose not to tell these people. I know my
place and it's not to tell everyone what to do with their
lives. |
"Will
I Be Happy With The Result?"
Patient satisfaction is an interesting issue. The vast
majority of well-selected patients are happy after their
procedure. Satisfaction has a good deal to do with the
patient's pre-operative expectations as well as his/her
personality. Most patients listen carefully to their doctor
at consultation and accept the fact that their own anatomy
has something to do with their potential result. Breast
Implants come out of a box but breast augmentation results
do not. Most women have breasts that are a little different
than one another pre-operatively and guess what they are
a little different than one another post-operatively as
well. The degree of difference has a lot to do with the
degree to which they were different before surgery and
what is proposed to make them more similar....a simple
breast augmentation (placement of breast implants) will
not change these differences as much as if a breast lift
is added. Even with more surgery, there will probably
still be a degree of difference. The amount of surgery
is usually tailored to the patient's desires. Not everybody
"needs" a breast lift.
The bottom line here is being reasonable and most patients
are, but if you see yourself as a person desiring perfectly
even breasts or thighs or anything, then cosmetic surgery
may not be a great idea for you. If you never seem to
be happy with your hair stylist, your dentist, or your
gardener, their is little reason to believe that you will
be happy with the results of your cosmetic surgery.

So
Where Does That Leave Me?"
The above discussion may display the obvious, but sometimes
people don't think very clearly when discussing their
own personal health. The bottom line is that no one should
make this decision for you. The possibility that something
could go awry is in general very small...but if something
does happen, you have to accept it.
Don't let someone talk you into surgery.
Don't do it for anyone, other than yourself.
