Many women have body image issues which affect their self-confidence and the ability to socialize. They seek recourse to breast augmentation, which involves cosmetic surgery to insert breast implants through incisions. Also, women who have undergone surgery for breast cancer seek plastic surgery and implants to boost their self-image.
One of the important decisions to make before opting for a breast implant is to decide what kind of implant you want. There are silicone gel implants and saline ones – the former more popular among women who want a natural feel. The saline ones are less expensive, while the latest in silicone implants, the gummy bear in slang, is made of denser gel and is more expensive.
The size of implants also matters, and you can seek an appointment with cosmetic surgeon from Newport Plastic, Dr Hisham Seify, who is easily accessible for people in Newport Beach or Orange County, CA. You can also ask him for some breast implants before and after photos which can help you in making a better choice related to the surgery.

The plastic surgery involves making incisions in certain parts such as underneath the breast, around the nipple area, under the arm or near the belly button region. Dr Hisham Seify will also explain to you the post-operative care you need to take, and the cost involved in the cosmetic surgery.
Digital photographs of your breast region will be sought by your plastic surgeon so as to assess the exact size. You may also be shown galleries of before and after images to make you understand what to expect once the surgery is completed.
Once your cosmetic surgery is done, you will be required to stay in the facility for a day and night, sometimes more. You will be provided with a surgical bra to wear till your plastic surgeon decides you can wear normal bras.
In the initial few days immediately after your cosmetic surgery, you may experience tiredness and soreness in the breast area. For weeks or a couple of months, your plastic surgeon will tell you not to take part in any hectic physical activity. Also, you will need to schedule follow-up visits and get your breasts examined to ensure there are no complications later.
You will be able to observe the enhanced nature of your breast only between six months and a year after your plastic surgery. The implants will take many months to settle down and the swelling will subside, eventually giving you an idea of the exact size of your breast.
