Dallas – Fort Worth metroplex, Texas Breast Augmentation
If you are unhappy with the size or shape of your breasts, you may be considering breast augmentation to improve your appearance. If you have decided that breast augmentation is the right procedure to help you get the breasts you desire, you want to know whether you are a candidate for the procedure.
This page gives basic information on who is a candidate for breast augmentation, but it cannot listen to your cosmetic goals or evaluate your medical history to ensure whether you actually are a candidate. The best way to determine whether you are a candidate for this procedure is to talk to a plastic surgeon in person about the procedure and whether it is right for you. If you are in Dallas, Texas, please contact breast surgeon, Dr. Vasdev Rai at the Cosmetic Surgery Center to learn whether you are in fact a good candidate for the procedure.
Can Breast Implants Achieve My Goals?
Breast augmentation with breast implants is a versatile procedure that can address many of the most common complaints women have about the appearance of their breasts. Breast implants can improve the appearance of breasts that are:
- Too small
- Uneven
- Of an unattractive shape
- Lack fullness in the top of the breast
- Have mild sagging
Breast implants can give great results for women with these cosmetic concerns about their breasts. They can help if you are never able to get adequate cleavage or generally feel uncomfortable in clothes because of your breasts. It can also help if you feel your figure is imbalanced because you have a pear-shaped body.
However, if you have significant sagging in your breasts, you may be a more ideal candidate for breast lift with implants.
Am I a Healthy Candidate for Breast Implants?
There are a number of health factors that Dr. Rai will take into account when deciding whether you are an ideal candidate for breast implants. These factors include whether you:
- Are you 18 (22 for silicone breast implants)?
- Are you in good general health?
- Are you a nonsmoker?
- Are you free of active infections?
- Are you free of breast cancer?
- Are you not taking medication that may increase your risk of complications?
Even if you cannot definitively answer yes to all these questions, you may still be a good candidate. During your consultation, you can talk to Dr. Rai about the significance of these factors and how they impact your candidacy or the ultimate quality of your results from breast implants.
Am I Psychologically Prepared for Breast Implants?
Another important factor for being an ideal candidate for breast implants is being psychologically prepared for them. For breast implants, that means that you should:
- Have identified your breasts as a specific appearance concern
- Understand the procedure’s potential benefits and risks
- Be prepared to follow all postoperative instructions
- Not be suffering from depression or other mood disorders
If you meet all these criteria, then you are an ideal candidate for breast augmentation with breast implants.
