Over 80,000 women in the United States, many in the Tampa Bay area, have chosen to have some form of breast augmentation over the past three years. Women seek surgery for many reasons:

• to improve their body contour

• breast reductions

• better symmetry

• restorative measures

Most often, the main goal is to achieve a natural look that will improve your overall appearance and help you to shape your concept of the body you want into a reality.

All breast augmentation procedures need consultation and personal attention for each patient to provide them full satisfaction. As Tampa’s breast augmentation specialist, Dr. Egozi takes each patients unique needs, wants and personal situations into consideration prior to scheduling any procedures.

There are a number of decisions which needs to be made prior to having any breast augmentation procedure.

The questions you should ask of yourself and your plastic surgeon include:

• Should saline breast or silicone implants are required?

• Where the surgery is to be performed, in a general hospital or private hospital?

• What is the right custom fit implant dimensions for your body?
• What type of recovery will you have after the surgery?

There should be no actions taken until and unless these questions are answered fully and only after you are comfortable to go ahead with the surgery.

Breast augmentation surgery, like all surgeries, can have certain complications. Though these complications are rare, it is always advisable to consult an experienced, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon who will be able to help you if any such situations may arise.  In most cases, normal activities can be resumed within two days after the surgery and you can return back to work after five days. It is advisable to comply with all the post operative procedures and precautions to avoid any complications later on.

If your practitioner is good, he will inform you of all the cost involved during breast implant. Costs usually  include:

• surgeon fees
• facility charges
• anesthesia charges

Knowing these costs earlier will not lead to any price shocks later on. Be honest to your practitioner regarding your goals in the consultation and be ready to trust your instincts regarding your surgeon’s capabilities.
