Plastic Surgery of the Breasts
Many women develop breasts which are not a natural fit for their body shape. The breasts may be disproportionately small or large. Sometimes one breast will be significantly different from the other. For some breast shape can change after weight gain or loss or pregnancy. Breast surgery can provide or restore balance to overall body shape.
Breast augmentation may be an option for women who would like to increase volume or improve breast contour. Small breasts may be the result of inadequate development or shrinkage subsequent to pregnancy or weight loss.
Women who have significant uneven breast sizes may also benefit from breast augmentation.
Dr Stradwick uses the bio-dimensional approach to recommending a size for patients so that the result is a “natural look”, appropriate for the patients body frame.
Most patients do not need an overnight stay as breast augmentation is performed as a day procedure. Some time off work may be necessary – most people return to normal duties after 1 week and to exercising after 4 to 6 weeks.
Patients who are in good health, emotionally stable and have realistic expectations are suitable for breast augmentation. It is important for a person to decide what they hope to achieve from having this procedure and to do thorough research before making any firm decisions.
