5 useful tips for those considering breast surgery

According to the American Association of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation was the most requested cosmetic surgery in 2014. Small, underdeveloped breasts or ptotic breasts (sagging breasts, e.g., after pregnancy) can be corrected with additive mastoplasty. Then, the femininity and sensuality closely associated with beautiful, full breasts can be enjoyed and rediscovered once again.

5 nützliche Tipps für diejenigen, die ihre Brüste korrigieren lassen wollen

If you are considering having your breasts corrected, there are a few things you should know before going to your consultation with a specialist.

  1. It is not possible to go from a very small size to an oversized size immediately. If you are currently a cup size A, you cannot expect to change to a cup size D in a single procedure. It is important to set realistic goals. Your body and skin need time to adapt to drastic changes, which is why we change cup sizes gradually. Over the course of a few years, you can then reach your desired size.
  2. Being overweight and excessive reliance on cigarettes can jeopardize the success of the procedure. Regardless of the decision to undergo cosmetic surgery, a healthy lifestyle is important. In any case, individual interviews and check-ups are conducted before any surgery to assess the patient's state of health.
  3. There are different types of procedures, and you will decide with Dr. Agostini which is the best option in your case: under the breast (inframammary approach), around the areola, or in the armpit. Your doctor will take into account the normal size and shape of your breasts as well as various other factors before you decide together which method is the best choice for your body.
  4. To be able to undergo this type of procedure, it is mandatory for patients to be of legal age. In Italy, such procedures have been legally prohibited for persons under 18 years of age since July 2012: this is intended to avoid superficial and rash decisions that carry an increased risk of regret.
  5. Do it for yourself! Think carefully about the motivation that is driving you to such a procedure and do not do it to please someone else. It is important to understand the deeper motives behind the desire for breast augmentation, and our team is always there to help you make your decision and clear up any doubts.
