Ladies, are you satisfied with the size of your breasts? If so, you are not alone. A 2008 study by the International Journal of School Health found that 70 percent of women that were polled were displeased with the size and/or fullness of their breasts. If you want to change the appearance of your breasts, the expert plastic surgeons at GLOW Surgical Arts can perform a breast augmentation procedure.
Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular procedures in all of cosmetic surgery.
Patients have chosen to have an augmentation surgery for a variety of reasons. Perhaps they wish to make their breasts larger. Lack of volume, lack of breast projection, and having two breasts of different sizes also are rather common reasons for pursuing this cosmetic procedure. You also must plan this procedure around your work schedule and arrange for time off your job and for help around the house during the initial days and weeks following the surgery as you go through the initial period of recovery.
A fat transfer can achieve many of the same goals as a traditional breast augmentation procedure with implants.
You probably know about liposuction as a means of improving the contours of an area of the body that has deposits of fat that are stubborn to remove, but did you know that you can take unwanted fat from one area and transfer it to improve the appearance of another location of the body? A fat transfer, also referred to as a fat intigrafting or a fat injection, accomplishes this very goal.
First, the fat is gathered through a minimally invasive liposuction procedure. Next, the fat is processed and injected into the preferred target area: whether it be the buttocks, the face, or, in this case, the breasts. Using fat transfer as a means of breast augmentation is becoming more popular. Evaluating data from across the country for 2016, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons found that the number of breast augmentations using a fat transfer increased by a staggering 72 percent.
Breast augmentation is more affordable than you might think.
No matter what means of breast augmentation that you choose, these procedures no longer carry a huge price tag. Many plastic surgeons will work with their patients to find a payment plan or financing that fits with their budget. For any procedure performed at GLOW Surgical Arts, our staff provides a single all-inclusive price with no hidden fees or complex line items.
Remember that, in the case of breast augmentation like so many other things, you get what you pay for. Breast augmentation costs less across the cosmetic surgery industry because of the advent of new technologies, but remember that a highly qualified plastic surgeon is likely to charge more than a “budget” location.
