An Explanation of the Breast Enlargement Procedure
Thousands of women each year get implants, or some kind of breast enlargement surgery.
There are really many different reasons women get these procedures.
Some get them as reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy to make their shape look better.
Other women do it because of the shape of their breasts themselves, maybe they started sagging after childbirth, or developed differently, making one small, and one large.
Others do it to boost their self-esteem because they may feel the size of their breasts are inadequate when compared to their friends, or what their idea of a perfect figure should be.
Exotic dancers often have breast enlargement procedures so they can make more money in their profession.
For whatever reason, there are costs and risks involved with this surgery.
First of all, the cost of breast enlargement surgery is not cheap.
The average surgeon's fees range from $3000-$4000.
This doesn't include other costs involved, and while these fees include the implants, and installing them, there are other fees as well.
There is the anesthesia, surgical garments, facility fees, testing, and blood work, as well as pre- and postoperative visits and care.
These fees all vary, depending greatly on the location of the facilities.
If the area you live in doesn't see a lot of these surgeries, these costs can be higher.
While these costs may not necessarily be a factor in getting you breasts done, you should still be informed.
In general, you are going to pay for your surgery out of your own pocket.
Insurance usually doesn't cover the costs of cosmetic surgery, and many enlargement procedures fall under this category.
There are exceptions to this rule, such as needing an implant when having reconstructive surgery after breast cancer.
More importantly, though, be aware that if you do get implants as part of an elective surgery, many insurance companies won't cover you if there are complications, and some won't even cover any kind of breast problems after this surgery.
Before deciding on breast enlargement, you should contact your insurance company regarding their policies in this matter.
Beware of 'cheap' breast enlargement procedures.
Having learned of the costs of this surgery, be wary of doctors who offer to enlarge your breasts cheaply.
There is a reason for these costs.
It is because the doctors performing breast enlargement are board certified, and experts in their field.
While there will always be risks involved, only an experienced doctor will do the best job to limit any complications.
There are already too many horror stories about breast enlargements gone wrong, and you don't want to be one of those statistics.
There are other factors to consider when choosing a breast enlargement procedure as well.
Just because the price is high, doesn't necessarily mean the doctor is good.
What you need to do is check around for doctors who perform these surgeries in your area, and compare prices.
The things you want to be on the lookout for are education, board certification, experience, and how you feel when you go for your consultation.
You should always get references from their patients and call them.
