Breast augmentation is the leading breast enhancement surgery in the world. Not only can this procedure transform your silhouette, but it can also improve various aspects of your breasts, including their size, shape, fullness, firmness, proportion, and symmetry.
Many of our patients approach us to inquire if they are good candidates for breast augmentation surgery in Richmond. Multiple factors can influence whether this procedure is appropriate for you, and our talented plastic surgeon, Dr. Montante, can provide additional information during an initial consultation.
Do I Need Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances and enlarges breast volume and fullness through the insertion of breast implants. Montante Plastic Surgery and Aesthetics uses both silicone and saline-based, FDA-approved breast implants. While breast augmentation surgery is designed to enhance size, volume, and fullness, breast lifts aim to elevate and tighten breasts. If you are looking for both the benefits of a breast augmentation and a breast lift, you may wish to combine the surgeries into one procedure.
While breast augmentation is one of the most popular breast enhancement surgeries, there are a variety of procedures that might be more suited to your needs. During an initial consultation, Dr. Montante and our Richmond team can work with you to ensure you understand all your breast enhancement options and are a good candidate for the procedure you choose.
Am I A Good Candidate For Breast Augmentation?
To be a candidate for a breast augmentation in Richmond, you should be in good physical and mental health, be within your ideal weight, and simply want to enhance your curves.
Physical Attributes of Breast Augmentation Candidates
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery if:
- You are physically healthy and have no serious health conditions
- You are within your ideal weight
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You are dissatisfied with the cosmetic appearance of your breasts
- You wish to enhance your breast size
- You wish to make your breasts appear more symmetrical
- You do not smoke, or you are willing to temporarily quit smoking
These physical factors are important to both the outcome of your surgery and your recovery experience.
Psychological Attributes of Breast Augmentation Candidates
It is equally important that you are psychologically ready for a breast augmentation surgery. Those looking to undergo this procedure should be in good mental health, be capable and willing to follow all directions from our medical team, and have realistic expectations regarding the results of their surgery. In addition, you should be pursuing the procedure for yourself rather than to satisfy external pressures.
