Breast Augmentation Overview
Breast augmentation surgery is designed to enhance the size of breasts to make them appear more proportionate, fuller and more attractive. In some cases, the procedure may be performed for reconstructive purposes or to improve the symmetry of breasts. An experienced cosmetic surgeon will first evaluate whether a patient is a good candidate forbreast implants, and explain all the aspects related to the procedure. Dr. Smith in Las Vegas, NV makes sure that his patients are well-informed and can make the most appropriate choices to suit their aesthetic goals.
The procedure involves surgical placement of saline or silicone gel based breast implants to enhance the size, volume, and fullness of breasts. Breast augmentation can address the needs of patients who are unhappy with the naturally small size of breasts, or wish to achieve bigger breasts to make them more appealing, or may be compelled to go for this procedure because of mastectomy or damage to breast tissue, or to restore the symmetry of unevenly sized breasts.

Choosing the Right Procedure
At the time of initial consultation for any cosmetic surgery procedure such as breast implants, tummy tuck, breast lift, rhinoplasty, labiaplasty, or liposuction, an experiencedplastic surgeon will explain the pros and cons of the procedure in the best possible way. The surgeon will also make use of before and after pictures of previous patients who have undergone the same procedure. These pictures are taken discreetly with the permission of the patients, and used to help new patients understand what the procedure can or cannot do for them.
Making an informed decision is critically important from a patient’s perspective, particularly when she is considering an aesthetic surgery for breast enhancement. Dr. Smith believes that educating a patient is one of the most important and primary elements of the treatment process.
Patients who know exactly what they are choosing to go for, will be able to cooperate with the surgeon in the best way and usually achieve optimal outcomes. It is very difficult and complicated to undo a surgery or revise it later on. Therefore, it is imperative that the patient takes the most appropriate and correct decision the first time itself.
Selecting the Right Type of Implants
Success of any plastic surgery procedure such as breast augmentation, tummy tuck, breast lift, rhinoplasty, labiaplasty, or liposuction depends to a considerable extent on the right treatment approach and technique chosen to suit the anatomy and aesthetic needs of a patient. In case of breast enhancement, the success of the procedure also depends to a significant extent on the choice of breast implants. Both saline and silicone gel based implants are approved by the FDA, and are equally popular among patients.
Implant size, shape and texture must also be chosen to match with the unique needs of the patient. Before and after pictures can play a key role in this area as well. The surgeon can show various pictures of previous patients who have chosen different types and sizes of implants. Through these pictures, a new patient can try to visualize how she will appear with a particular type and size of implants. Implants are available in natural tear shape as well as rounded shape. Here again before and after pictures can be used to make the best choice.
Realistic Expectations
Apart from the obvious benefit of before and after breast augmentation pictures in helping a patient choose the procedure as well as choose the right type, size and shape of implants, there is another benefit of these pictures. An experienced cosmetic surgeonsuch as Dr. Smith shows these pictures to his patients in Las Vegas, NV to help them have realistic expectations from the procedure. Many patients have just a vague idea about what the breast augmentation can or cannot do for them when the first visit the surgeon for a consultation.
With the help of before and after pictures, they know exactly what kind of outcomes to expect. With this realistic expectation, the patient is usually able to draw a better satisfaction level from the procedure. Unrealistic expectations may dampen the patient’s joy after the surgery, even if the actual outcome is outstanding and terrific. This situation can be avoided with simple before and after photos. This is not a meaningless step at all and this will help bolster the clinic’s practice and business.
