Breast augmentation, better known as a “boob
job,” is not something that should be entered into lightly. Whether you
want to increase your cup size, reduce your breasts or lift them post-pregnancy
or weight loss, you want to enter into the process with your eyes wide open and
fully informed.
How do you decide the size and shape?
One of the things I talk about is an aesthetic goal. I
spent a lot of time trying to define what a naturally attractive breast should
look like. Essentially, there are four key features of the breast that render
it attractive. The end goal is trying to achieve this same attractive look
whether lifting, going bigger or smaller:
The magic ratio between the upper pole and lower pole
(meaning the amount of tissue above and below the nipple). It should be a 45:55
ratio 45% above the nipple and 55% below it. You want the breasts to be
slightly fuller below than above.
Are there different types of implants?
In general, terms there are two different shapes: round or teardrop. They do different things and offer slightly different looks. People who want a more natural look will go for a teardrop, while those after a less natural look will go for a round. Anatomy may favor one over the other. In some instances, I may say you need a teardrop for your particular breast shape, or, on the other hand, round.
Risks and complications:
Every surgical procedure has risks. Among patients who
undergo breast reconstruction, 46 percent of women with silicone gel implants
and 21 percent of those with saline implants had at least one additional
operation within 3 years. Eight percent of women with saline implants and 25
percent of those with silicone implants had surgery to remove the devices. Nearly
50 percent of those having cosmetic breast augmentation experience some kind of
complication, for example, pain, hardening, infection, or the need for
additional surgery.
Some of the risks and complications associated with
breast augmentation are:
- Painful
breasts
- Infection
- Sensation
in the breast, the nipples, or both, may change temporarily
- Rupturing
or leaking of the implant
- Bleeding
- Fluid
accumulation
Other issues:
There is some concern that toxins may lead to
neurological symptoms in women, possibly leading to problems with thinking and
memory. The skin on the breast above the implant can become rippled or
wrinkled, especially in very slim women or those who suddenly lose a lot of
weight.
If a woman chooses to remove the implants, her breasts
may look less attractive than they did before surgery. If the implants rupture,
removal surgery can mean a loss of breast tissue. Breast augmentation surgery
can be expensive. The ASPS note that in 2015, the average cost was $3,822, and
the cost for implant removal was $2,380. Women whose implants wear out will
also need to consider the cost of replacement.

A boob job is certainly useful for anyone who values
her appearance, especially if your occupation requires a presentable look. Now
