Surgery and You



Your decision is as personal as your desired result

Women explore breast aesthetics for a myriad of reasons. Your reasons may be unique to you or be similar to others considering breast augmentation or reconstruction surgery. You may have a desire for more proportioned breasts, to return to your pre-pregnancy shape, to regain a figure altered by cancer or other trauma or simply just to turn back the clock. Today, whatever your personal reasons for surgery, your results will reflect the unique characteristics of your body (size, shape and tissue characteristics) and goals of surgery. The right fit is a surgical outcome that does not change you, but takes the best of you and makes it better.

Whatever your reasons, surgeons feel that good breast implant candidates share three specific characteristics:

  • A desire to educate yourself regarding the specific shape, size and style of breast implant that is right for you.
  • An internal motivation to do this for yourself, as opposed to doing it for a loved one or other outside influences.
  • Most importantly, have realistic expectations about the outcome of your surgery.

 

1. Educate Yourself

Because all surgery carries some risk, you should take the time to become informed. For many women like you, that process begins with asking friends and family who have experienced breast implant surgery. Another excellent information source is the internet. Take the time to explore a variety of information resources. However, remember that your surgeon is your most valuable education resource. Trust their experience and expertise to provide you with the information you need to understand the risks and complications associated with breast implants and surgery.

2. Do It For You

Natrelle™ Gel-Filled Breast Implants are approved by Health Canada. So, for many patients, the surgery carries acceptable risk when performed by an experienced surgeon. However, even with such assurances, it is important to consider all the benefits and risks when considering breast implant surgery. Surgeons who implant the Natrelle™ Collection of Breast Implants have tools that will help you to understand the process and what to expect from surgery. All women have different body shapes and proportions, therefore implants are not a one-size (or shape)-fits-all device. A Natrelle™ experienced surgeon has the flexibility to meet your unique individual needs. Carefully consider all the factors surrounding your surgery and talk to your surgeon about why you believe breast implants are right for you.

3. Bring Realistic Expectations

There are many reasons to enhance the size or shape of your breasts - everyone wants to feel great about themselves. Remember that no two people are exactly alike. Your best result is one that fits your body type and meets your goals. That is why it is important to talk honestly with your surgeon about your expectations for surgery.
