Breast Augmentation & Breast Implants

One of the largest measures of success in today’s society is the amount of self-confidence possessed by a woman; the first step towards self-confidence is looking and feeling as good as possible. Many women find just the image boost they are looking for in breast augmentation. Women in Columbus and other areas of Ohio area often consult with us to find out what breast implants might feel like and what is right for them. The answer is – it depends. We know that is not what you wanted to hear, but everyone is different. Breast implants will never feel the same as natural breasts, but they are pretty close. The smaller the breast implants you choose, the more natural they will feel.

Most women who get breast implants at our Columbus, Ohio offices are very happy with the results and will tell you that their self-esteem has been improved dramatically. Although there are risks associated with the breast augmentation procedure, most women do wonderfully and are back to work in just a few days. After breast augmentation, you may experience pain for about a week, but it can be easily controlled with medication.

Here at the Columbus Institute of Plastic Surgery, serving the Columbus and Dayton areas, we will be with you through every step of your breast augmentation procedure. We will make sure you know all of the information, our nurse will make sure you know what to expect afterward, and our staff will make sure all of your needs are met. All you have to do is relax and heal.

The breast augmentation procedure begins with selecting the best plastic surgeon for you. This doesn't mean a surgeon who performs the most breast augmentation procedures in Columbus, Ohio. Rather, you need to find a physician you are comfortable with and who understands your needs. You also need a plastic surgeon with good training. The best way to evaluate this is to look for a surgeon that is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. You also need to check to make sure that your plastic surgeon has the proper certification with the American Board of Plastic Surgery or the American Osteopathic Association. (Columbus plastic surgeon Bivik Shah is board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgeons.) Read more about selecting a plastic surgeon.

Once you have found the right plastic surgeon for you, the next step is understanding your options. There are many choices that need to be made before finally proceeding with the breast augmentation surgery, and it is important to understand each choice in order to find the best fit for you.
