Once you’ve decided that you’re ready to move forward with breast augmentation surgery, it’s time to explore your options. Do you have friends, family members, or even co-workers who have had the procedure? If so, they may be able to answer some key questions, provide feedback on the entire process, or make a recommendation regarding which surgeon to visit. You can gain valuable information from these conversations, especially since you will be getting a recommendation from someone who you trust. Once you start talking with your friends and family, you may even be surprised to discover who has had breast augmentation!
Another option is to join online forums and discussion groups to engage with others who are considering or have recently undergone breast augmentation.
Numerous websites are available that provide additional information about breast augmentation and implants. You can visit websites of local surgeons, sites oriented toward breast augmentation education, or the sites of breast implant manufacturers. This allows you to piece together the information you'll need before your consultation. You should have a general understanding about the procedure, the types of implants available, what to expect during recovery, and why you are consulting with a specific surgeon.
Take notes as you do your research, and break it down into categories if necessary: implant type, procedure type, surgeon(s), pre-operative preparation, recovery, special circumstances, etc. A thoughtful approach to information gathering should yield the answers to most of your questions, and you will find yourself better educated and prepared as you move forward with breast augmentation.
