7 Reasons Why Today's Breast Augmentation is the Best in History

Why Modern Breast Augmentation is Better Than Ever Before

Today, you have several choices when it comes to shape, material, size, and type of breast implant. Here at Guerra Plastic Surgery Center in AZ, among our priorities is to help patients understand how safe, effective, and life-changing breast augmentation is because of recent advancements.

The following benefits of modern breast augmentation make it easier than ever to look and feel your absolute best.

1. More Breast Implant Options

Saline and silicone breast implants are the primary types of implants, with most women opting for silicone. Within this category, a few newer options are available. "Gummy bear" breast implants are one of which, featuring a revolutionary teardrop shape that mimics the contours of a natural breast. Women often prefer this FDA-approved medical device because they create a fuller look at the bottom, and tapers toward the upper part of the breast.

Round implants are another prime example of the different options you have in modern breast augmentation. Unlike gummy bear or anatomical implants, this variety achieves a fuller and more protruding appearance.

Furthermore, a breakthrough technology called high-strength cohesive (HSC) silicone gel is used to manufacture breast implants in the current era. And, although HSC is the strongest silicone available in the market, the breast implant remains natural-feeling and soft to the touch.

The takeaway here is that you now have more flexibility and possibilities to ensure a regret-proof boob job.

2. Results That Look Natural

For the longest time, people viewed breast implants as a way to get dramatic and jaw-dropping results. But for most modern women, the new goal of breast augmentation is to increase breast volume subtly and correct asymmetry. Beautifully enhanced, yet natural-looking is the desired outcome.

Choosing an award-winning, board-certified plastic surgeon proficient in breast enhancement options and trends is a surefire way to achieve the results you seek.

3. New and Improved Surgical Techniques

In addition to having a multitude of implant options, you can discuss surgical techniques — such as incision type and implant placement — with your plastic surgeon.

The most common area for implant placement is under the breast fold. However, your plastic surgeon can also insert a breast implant through an incision around the areola or armpit. Different incision methods play a role in concealing scars, as well as allows your surgeon to choose the location that works with your body type.

Bear in mind that an experienced plastic surgeon has an aesthetic eye that can help you determine which incision type and implant placement is best for your unique needs and goals.

4. Quicker and Easier Recoveries

There was a time when women would need to lie in bed and take several weeks away from work to heal from breast augmentation surgery. Today, recovery is faster than ever before. Within five to seven days, you may be able to return to your desk job and resume normal activities. Of course, some restrictions include limiting physical exertion. Regardless, being powerless and in bed for prolonged periods is not the case for many. Simply follow your surgeon's instructions on breast implant care after augmentation.

5. Modern Breast Implants Can Last for 10 Years or Longer

The reality is that saline and silicone-filled breast implants are not considered lifetime devices. Still, they are designed to be long-lasting. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), "patients can expect today's implants — the products of decades of research into stronger shells and more stable fillers — to last more than a decade."

Maintaining a good relationship with your plastic surgeon, preferably the one who performs your initial augmentation surgery, is an excellent way to prepare for the eventual need to replace or remove your implants.

6. There is Less Stigma About Breast Augmentation

With over 300,000 surgeries performed in 2018, it is no secret that breast augmentation is one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgical procedures in the United States. Because of the 48 percent increase in surgeries since 2000, there is a high chance that many of your friends, colleagues, and maybe even family members have had the procedure.

In recent years, fewer people have been judgemental about the idea of plastic surgery. The negative connotation associated with implants is almost nonexistent, as more women embrace the truly transformative and confidence-boosting results.

7. Plastic Surgeons are Better Than Ever, Too
