The least asked but most important questions to ask
about Breast Augmentation usually involve post-op recovery, pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and a few others. Here are a few important factors to consider when preparing for Breast Augmentation.

1. What to look for in before and after photos?

When choosing a surgeon for your procedure, always make sure to look at his previous work. The “before and after” photos are one of the ways to gather more information about your doctor. First and foremost, the “after” pictures should always reflect an improvement in a woman’s appearance. Pay attention to proportions and symmetry and scar placement. Even though all surgical procedures leave a scar, a skilled surgeon will minimize their appearance. The breasts should look natural and suit the frame of a patient. Look for good results in many of their previous patients, not just one. If you’re seeing a lot of women who are happy with the results of their procedure, that’s a good sign.

2. Should I lose weight before or after Breast Augmentation?

Some women may require an implant revision or a breast lift after pregnancy. However, in other cases no additional procedures are necessary.
