Whatever their age, the results for women
undergoing breast implant
surgery goes way beyond the aesthetic
effects of having larger, fuller
shaped breasts. The boost in confidence can
be immense, with the
rippling effect of this newfound
self-assurance spreading into all areas of
their life. Many women become more secure
with their curvier shape,
which impacts in the way they dress and feel
about themselves
generally, and many more find that their
personal and sexual
relationships improve as they develop a more
comfortable attitude to
their bodies.
Implants can be placed under or over the
pectoral muscle, which lies
beneath the breast. Suitability for each
method is based on individual
analysis, subject to a surgeon’s
recommendation after an examination:
Over the muscle:
For this method, the implant is placed
directly behind the breast
tissue, over the pectoral muscle. The
surgeon forms a cavity
under the patient’s remaining breast tissue
and inserts the
implant into it, which lifts and shapes the
breast as it fills out
the space. As the implant lies between the
breast wall below
and the natural tissue above, the breast
retains a natural
look and feel.
Under the muscle:
For the majority of patients the implant is
placed under the
muscle. In these instances the implant lies
between the breast
wall and the pectoral muscle, with the
natural breast tissue
remaining on top for the most natural look.
There is a little more
discomfort post-surgery with this option,
but the aesthetic results
are worth it, especially for very slim
patients, as
placing the implant
in a sub-pectoral position
prevents the
outline of the implants being
visible on a lean chest. |
