Breast augmentation is one of the most popular elective cosmetic procedures in New York City and has been for years. The placing of implants to create a larger, firmer and more appealing bust line is one of the more popular options under the umbrella of augmentation, which includes other procedures such as reconstruction, reduction and lifting. If you are dissatisfied with the volume of your bust and are open to considering a permanent solution, breast implants may be the right choice for you.
Hallmarks of a Good Breast Implant Candidate
While every person is an individual and your health history and current status will be carefully reviewed by our surgeon, there are some features shared by most good surgical candidates. First, you should be in good general health to receive breast implants. Next, you should ideally be a non-smoker and a non-drinker with no current addiction issues. Smoking, drinking alcohol to excess and using recreational drugs can compromise your body’s ability to heal. Finally, you should have realistic expectations. Breast implants may not necessarily give you the bust of a Hollywood starlet. If you go into the procedure with realistic expectations, you are far more likely to be satisfied with your results.
Preparing for Breast Augmentation
Breast implant placement in Hackensack should only be considered if you feel you have done all you can with your current diet and exercise programs. The reason for this is that gaining or losing weight, including muscle mass, can have a big impact on the size of your bust. For example, a woman who receives implants and then builds up her pectorals at the gym may not be happy to see her bust growing far larger than she anticipated. Ideally, you will want to be at a healthy, stable weight and be at a fitness level you plan to maintain in the long-term before considering breast implants.
