By Coleen Torres


There are various reasons why women look to have their breasts enlarged. The reasons could be medical or cosmetic in nature and are dependent on underlying needs that need to be looked into. When looking to go for breast augmentation Anchorage residents have a number of options they can consider. The need to have larger breasts is the most obvious reason for this procedure. If anything, it is what the procedure does. Women with small breasts aim to look more feminine through enlargement.

Proportionality of the body is yet another driving factor for the procedure. For women that feel their bodies are not proportional due to the size of their breasts, augmentation is among the best ways to address that. The physical appearance will improve and as a result, the self esteem too. Changes in the body due to pregnancy also compel or encourage women to consider enlargement. In this case, augmentation is done as a way of restoration rather than enhancement of size.

For victims of breast cancer, the procedure is part of the healing process. It will help them in regaining part of their lives that might have been lost during the treatment of cancer. The majority of women will feel incomplete after mastectomy and thus reconstruction of their breasts will be an important part of the recovery process. A good number of mastectomy patients consider this procedure after their treatment.

Normally, the two breasts are supposed to be of almost the same size and shape. Any differences should not be noticeable; otherwise there will not be symmetry. In the event of breasts that are asymmetrical, enlargement of one will introduce a level of symmetry and improve self esteem of those involved. The decision to go for enlargement of breasts should be made personally without considering the opinion of others.

Thorough preparation for surgery will be required. The surgeon provides preoperative instructions and answers any questions the patients may have. Also important will be the medical history of the individual and a physical exam to determine how fit they are for the surgery. It is also important to track any changes in breast tissues. This is done through a mammogram before the surgery and another some months after the surgery.

There are precautions that need to be taken before the actual day of treatment. For instance, smokers will be required to abstain from smoking for the six months preceding surgery. This goes a long way in enhancing the process of healing. Taking of aspirin and any other anti-inflammatory drugs is also prohibited. These will likely increase bleeding. Hydration prior to and after surgery increases the chances of safe recovery and is thus recommended.

In the case of augmentation that is done using autologous transfer of fat, one may be required to wear special bra. This serves to help in expansion of the skin and tissues around breasts to make them ready for injection of fats. The entire procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Patients should make arrangements on how to get home on the day of surgery.

Risks and limitations of the procedure are uncommon. Just like any surgical option, such risks as allergic reactions, scarring and damage to underlying tissues are expected. Complications are however almost unheard of if it is done professionally.
