Feb. 10, 2010 - PRLog -- Dr. Sid Mirrafati of Mira Aesthetic Medical Center on Breast Augmentation

There are many reasons why women consider getting breast augmentation surgery, either because they want a larger breasts size, breasts with a better shape, retaining lost breast shape and volume due to age and childbirth, or breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Dr. Sid, leading cosmetic surgeon at Mira Aesthetic Medical Center, Mirrafati’s goal is to give women the confidence and self esteem when it comes to parts of themselves they may not like most of the time.

Dr. Sid Mirrafati: Things breast augmentation surgery can do for you is:
•   Increase breast size and shape
•   Balance the symmetry of your body
•   Boost self-esteem and confidence

The real name of the surgery, Dr. Sid Mirrafati, owner of Mira Aesthetic Medical Center, shares that the actual procedure fro breast segmentation is augmentation mammaplasty, which involves surgically inserting a breast implant prosthesis under either the fatty tissues of the existing breast or under the breast muscles, depending on what look you are trying to obtain.

Mira Aesthetic Medical Center: Is Breast Augmentation right for me?

The decision to undergo this procedure is one that you should definitely think about. Be sure that your motivations are centered around obtaining and enhancing your own sense of innate beauty and self-image, as with any cosmetic surgical procedure.
Dr. Sid Mirrafati says that breast augmentation surgery can be a good choice for those who:
•   Are physically healthy
•   Have realistic expectations
•   Have breasts that are fully developed
•   Feel it is necessary for larger, fuller breasts
•   Wish to restore their breasts to pre-childbirth condition and reverse the natural sagging produced by age and fluctuations of weight gain and loss
•   Have uneven, asymmetrical or misshapen breasts

In order to create the best possible results from your breast augmentation surgery, it is important that your surgeon, such as Dr. Sid Mirrafati of Mira Aesthetic Medical Center,  consult with you to discuss your wants and expectations, and how breast augmentation surgery will impact your health, lifestyle and general well-being. It is always a good idea to prepare by considering the following before your consultation with Dr. Sid Mirrafati:

•   Checking the companies’ website for choices on what types of breast augmentation you may receive as well as previous before and after photos.
•   A detailed account of current prescription medications, supplements (vitamins or others) that you take
•   Any use of tobacco or other drugs
•   What are your motivations and expectations of the surgery?

Dr. Sid Mirrafati and Mira Aesthetic Medical Center: Breast Implants Options

There are many types of prosthetic implants available today, including the most popular implants made from saline and silicone gel.

Both types of implants are comprised of a shell which is then filled with either saline, (sterile salt water) or silicone gel. Each offer the option of varying size and shape, that will affect the nature of the implants such as firmness and shape. Saline and silicone have their advantages and disadvantages, but both have been approved by the Federal Drug Administration as being safe to use. However, if an implant were to rupture, the results are dissimilar depending on the type of implant. Since saline is essentially water, it can be absorbed and expelled naturally by the body. In the case of silicone, however, the elastic gel may or may not leak out of the shell, but if it does, the silicone gel will leak into the breast implant pocket, creating an uneven, unnatural look.

No matter which condition it is still important that you know the implant must be removed and/or replaced.

Mira Aesthetic Medical Center: Important facts about the safety and risks of breast augmentation

Ultimately, the decision to undergo breast augmentation surgery is yours alone. After careful consideration of both the risks and benefits of surgery, you’ll have to weigh the risks against the potential benefits to make an informed decision that you can live with. Your health care professional will go over all potential risks of surgery and will make themselves available to answer any and all of your questions.

Mira Aesthetic Medical Center: Other important considerations:

Breast implants are not guaranteed to last a lifetime, as with any prosthesis. Replacement surgery may be required due to any number of factors, which include weight gain or loss, pregnancy and fluctuations in hormones, among others. Once again, check with your surgeon, such as Dr. Sid Mirrafati, for all potential risks so you can make an informed decision.
