All about breast enlargement

Breast enlargement can be accomplished by hormone treatment or breast implants. Many women who take hormone-based birth control pills will often report and increase in their breast size but, in general, hormone treatments for breast enlargement is often the course of action for transgender males but it is not a therapy that should be undertaken by healthy women who wish to visit a Beverly Hills California breast enlargement specialist for cosmetic purposes only. Hormones have unknown side effects and through the use of breast implants, a woman can enhance her breasts and remain free from potential problems.

Any relatively healthy woman is a good candidate for breast enlargement surgery. The best candidates are those who are in peak condition, at or near the ideal weight for their height and build and non-smokers. Although the surgeon can make up for limited breast tissue to cover the enhancement, it is best if the woman has enough tissue for this phase of the operation.

There are very few risks associated with a Beverly Hills California breast enlargement, however, like all surgery, there is the potential for complications. These complications include the possibility of infection, excessive bleeding and bruising, all of which are easily controllable. There are two basic shapes of a breast implant, round and tear drop shaped. In some cases a tear drop shaped implant may rotate which can cause the breast to appear somewhat misshapen.

Once the decision has been made, in co-operation with your cosmetic surgeon to have breast enlargement, certain choices have to be made. Depending on these choices the downtime for recovery can vary but normally two days of rest and then a further few days of reduced activity is all that is necessary to get back to a normal routine. Although soreness may be present for a few weeks, this will not stop you from returning to work and most normal activities.

The choices that need to be made concern the texture, shape and composition of the actual implant; implants can have a smooth exterior or one which is somewhat dimpled or rough. Many cosmetic surgeons believe that a textured implant is superior as it tends to reduce the risk of capsular contracture which is a hardening of the breast due to scar tissue. Many women prefer the tear drop shaped implant as it more closely mimics the shape of a natural breast. Up until a couple of years ago American women could only access saline implants but silicone implants are now back on the market after a long hiatus.

Whatever choices are made, the results are striking, giving a woman back the shape she so much desires.
