Do Your Boobs Sag?

Breast Augmentation – Las Vegas Plastic Surgery

Do your boobs sag low? Do they wobble to and fro? If so, then you might be bothered by the changes your are starting to see. Women tend to be overly observant when it comes to their own bodies. We know when something starts to change. The reason for this can partially be because of the type of woman who is always portrayed as beautiful is very thin with nice, tight round breasts. These images of beautiful women are constantly being thrown in our faces via television commercials, magazine ads and billboards. It’s no wonder why your average woman would want to look like that.

With women, a lot of changes with our body occur after starting to have children. After having children, one common effect is that your breasts will start to drop lower than normal. When this happens, it can really start to lower your self esteem. You no longer look the same as you once did when you were younger, and your clothes don’t hug you in all right places like they used to.

We understand that you shouldn’t have to lose yourself after you have children. We can help you to get back what you have lost.

New Techniques Help Women Make An Informed Decisions About Breast Reconstruction

Breast Reconstruction

In an effort to help women make “good decisions” about breast reconstruction, information about breast reconstruction has been gathered, analyzed and published in many medical journals.  Armed with this information, women will be able to make the best possible decisions once they thoroughly consider their personal preferences.

Decision Analysis

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the process involves “finding alternatives, obtaining information about the uncertainty of outcomes, and clarifying preferences and values.”

When you think about it, this makes perfect sense. Women who are facing breast reconstruction have so many options to sort through before they can choose the procedure that is best for them. These women have to consider the purpose for the procedure as well as the results they would like to see from it. They need to think about the best time to have the procedure done and what kind of tissues they are going to use.

When these choices come after surviving breast cancer, you can see how making the best decision may be clouded by an anxiety to get back some sense of normalcy in life. Thankfully, that is when sensitivity analysis comes into play.

Sensitivity Analysis

Sensitivity analysis helps a patient weigh out all of her options in a way that respects the different factors that are involved. Things like costs, recovery time, risk and doubt are all taken into consideration during this part of the decision making process.

Many medical professionals believe that this is a critical step in the decision making process that is often overlooked. Women need to be able to make a decision having considered all their options as well as their concerns. The benefits and successes of breast reconstruction and breast augmentation in Las Vegas need to be weighed just as heavily as the risks and assorted uncertainties.

When women are able to made decisions that are well-informed, their overall experience increases. Patient outcomes increase because they are more aware of the reality of the procedure at hand. Their expectations are discussed and risks are considered before a decision is made.

To ensure that you have the best possible experience, schedule a consultation with a professional at Reynolds Plastic Surgery. The plastic surgeons here are dedicated to providing quality care so they will address your concerns as clearly as possible.

Odd Facts about Breast Augmentation

Odd facts about breast augmentation

More and more women are opting for breast augmentation procedures. The American Society of Plastic Surgeons reported that the number of breast augmPicture showing a glow in the dark breast implantentations has increase
d by one percent in 2013. Women who are considering a breast augmentation need to do their research. Common facts about breast implants are important for women to be aware of before getting the procedure. This includes knowing about the different types of implants and where the incision will be placed. However, there are some odd but interesting facts about breast implants that many people may not know.

Glow in the dark

Some specialty implants are glow in the dark. If you put flashlights underneath these particular implants, there will be a glow. It can be very hard to see through your skin though.

Smart chips

Some breast implants have smart chips implanted in them. The microchip is called “Q inside”. It is heat resistant. The chip contains important information such as the serial number, manufacturer name, date of manufacture and other data. However, breast implants in the United States do not have these smart chips. Instead, tracking information (e.g. serial number, manufacturer, and date) is sent in to the appropriate manufacturing company for patients to look up at any time.

Vegan

The material that is used to make breast implants is considered vegan. Many years ago breast implants were not vegan. They used to be filled with a non-vegan oil designed to be safe for the body in case of a rupture in the implant. This type of implant proved to have too many disadvantages. Clinical trials were done to determine this. Since then, non-vegan implants have been discontinued in the US.

Weight gain

Getting breast implants can cause your weight to slightly increase. Fortunately, the amount of weight that a person will gain is not significant. A single implant that is filled with 450 cc of saline weighs about 1.3 pounds, the smaller the implant, the less the weight. This only affects the person’s exact weight number. Breast implants will not affect the woman’s health.

Tax deduction

Depending on your line of work, you may be able to write off your breast implants as a tax deduction. After the Hess vs. Commissioner Case in 1994, the US Tax Court has allowed women in certain professions to write off their breast implants as tax deductions. These jobs include exotic dancers, cocktail waitresses and the adult entertainment industry.

If you are considering a breast augmentation procedure, schedule a consultation with Dr. Reynolds. He is a board certified plastic surgeon that can answer any questions you may have about the procedure. For more information about breast augmentation Las Vegas, contact 702.410.9800.
