Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation improves or increases the breast fullness and size. Although there are several reasons for women to undergo breast augmentation surgery, many have one thing in common, and that is to feel better than they did before. Women feel more confident when they feel good about themselves; this is not only true to women but to men as well.
How much should you pay?
While the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery states that breast augmentation prices may vary from $ 3,500 to $4,000, that amount usually only covers the cost of the surgeon and the implants. Other things you may need to consider are the anesthetics, pre and post operative medicines, hospital equipment and clothing, risks and changes that may occur during surgery. Some established practitioners may charge also charge a bit higher than others, same as larger cities and communities may have a slightly higher cost for the procedure. All these factors contribute to the total price of breast augmentation. Current estimates show the total cost of the procedure can range from $ 7,000 to $ 15,000. That is anywhere from double to four times the amount quoted by the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. Most insurance health plans consider breast augmentation a cosmetic surgery and do not cover the cost of the surgery.
Here are things to expect post operatively. In the first three days after the procedure pain and swelling is most evident. The pain and swelling reduces or is completely gone a few weeks later. You should expect your doctor to monitor your progress some time after surgery. He can also give you some restrictions on the activities after the procedure, as well as exercises to increase healing. Complications of the procedure can occur, though in a small frequency. Many women, despite the risks, can still feel comfortable having the breast augmentation procedure.
