Plastic surgeons can increase the size and shape of a woman’s breast through a procedure called breast augmentation. Normally there are two occasions when a woman needs this procedure, the first one is the cosmetic procedure to enhance the self image due to a short or asymmetrical breast and the second one is the reconstruction surgery after breast cancer or other breast disease. Breast augmentation is done by expert plastic surgeons under a general anesthesia.Dr.Bloch of Bodybybloch.com is an expert in doing breast augmentation North Shore surgeries. Nearly around 400,000 women have undergone this procedure in 2013 in America.

Why It Is Done?

A woman’s reasons for choosing breast augmentation are highly personal.

Breast augmentation might help you:

• Enhance your breast appearance if you feel your breasts are too small or you’re concerned that one breast is smaller than the other.


• Adjust for a reduction in the size of your breasts after pregnancy.


• Reconstruct your breast after having breast surgery for cancer or other conditions.


• Improve your self-image or self-confidence…..

To increase the size of the breasts, plastic surgeons use breast implants that are surgically inserted within the breasts. Generally they use two types of implants, the first one is the saline implant that is filled with sterile salt water and the second one is the silicone implant that is filled with silicone gel. Both are FDA approved implants, but the minimum age for saline implant is 18 years and for undergoing silicone implant, a woman needs to complete minimum 22 years of age.

Recovery after Breast Implantation:

Your breasts will be covered with gauze after the surgery. You may have drainage tubes, which will be removed in a few days. You may need to wear a surgical bra as you heal.

You’ll need to take it easy for a few days after your breast augmentation surgery. For instance, you shouldn’t do any heavy lifting for up to six weeks after getting your implants…..
