Breast augmentation involves the use of implants or fat transfer in order to increase size of breasts. It is a procedure that can also be used for restoration of volume of breasts that was lost after weight loss or pregnancy. That is so as to achieve more rounded breast shape and to improve their natural size. When considering breast augmentation Chicago residents need to know what the procedure involves.

Going for the procedure is something that is deeply personal and therefore it is important that one makes a decision for themselves. It should not be done for another person, even if they will be the one to pay. Not all people are candidates though. For you to consider the procedure, you should have realistic expectations. You need to be physically healthy but not pregnant or breastfeeding. It is also ideal for people who are not satisfied with their breasts losing volume and shape.

The costs will vary depending on a number of factors. After you get estimate for the costs, you need to find out what the charges include and what is excluded. The costs should cover operating room expenses and cost of anesthesia. Surgeon fees are varied depending on factors like experience level, the cost of implants that are used and type of procedure. For most patients, a surgeon will offer financing options. Insurance will never cover for the procedure when it is performed as a cosmetic procedure. Even if there are complications thereafter, the costs are not covered.

There should be consultation before the surgical procedure. You will discuss a number of things during that time, including why you are considering the procedure. The surgeon will also ask about your expectations and desired outcomes. If you suffer from any medical conditions, you will need to discuss them. There will be an evaluation of your health status and any pre-existing health conditions. There will be a discussion of the options and recommended treatment mode.

After one is sedated, incisions will be made in areas that are not conspicuous so as to ensure scars are not seen. The surgeon will take you through options of incisions which give the required results. Incisions can be in the armpits, at the folds under breasts or along the areolar. There is the belly-button approach which is not commonly used owing to the complications it comes with. Incisions will be varied depending on what type of breast implants are to be used.

After incisions are made, there will be insertion of implants. The insertion can be under the pectoral muscles or directly behind breast tissues. The technique that is used to insert and position implants will depend on type of implants, your body type, degree of enlargement that you require and recommendations of the surgeon.

During recovery, breasts are wrapped in gauze dressings. There could also be use of a support bra that minimizes swelling and supports breasts during healing. The final results could take a couple of weeks as the swelling reduces.
