Are you unhappy with the size of your breasts? Have you lost weight recently, or breastfed and noticed a decrease in the size of your breasts? This is extremely common, and often causes women to lose their self-confidence. However, there are options to improve the overall look and feel of your breasts, utilizing breast implants.
Known in the plastic surgery world as a breast augmentation, but often referred to as a “boob job”, breast implants is a procedure where an incision is made around the breast, and an implant is inserted. For women in Draper and Salt Lake City, this can create a balance of the body, balancing the breasts and the hips and creating that coveted hourglass figure.
Oftentimes, breast implants are confused with a breast lift. Implants increase the overall size of the breast, while a breast lift raises them up and reduces the amount of sagging. However, a breast lift can often accompany breast implants—if you’re a woman in Salt Lake City, talk to Dr. Howland at Howland Plastic Surgery if you’re interested in doing the procedures together.
Patients considering breast implants should be healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding. Oftentimes, people come in for breast augmentation when they feel the upper parts of the breasts are empty, or if they are asymmetrical. Meet with a doctor to discuss your options and whether or not you are a good candidate. Your doctor will discuss with you any pre-existing conditions and take initial measurements and pictures. They will ensure you know all the aspects of the treatment.
