I’m in the early stages of researching breast augmentation. What questions should I be asking during consultations?

Hey there! Exciting to hear you’re looking into breast augmentation! :tada: When you get to your consultations, there are definitely some key questions you should ask to get a sense of what’s best for you.

First, definitely ask about the types of implants they offer—saline vs. silicone—and their pros and cons. You’ll also want to inquire about the surgeon’s experience specifically with the procedure you’re considering. It’s totally valid to ask to see before-and-after photos of their previous patients too. Don’t forget about recovery time! Ask what you can expect in terms of healing and when you can get back to your normal activities.

Lastly, cost is a biggie! Make sure to ask about all the costs involved, including any potential follow-up procedures. Just like anything else, being informed will help you feel more confident in your decision. Good luck, and trust your gut! :sparkling_heart:

You should definitely ask about recovery time and what to expect afterward, I was surprised by how much time I needed to heal. Also, don’t forget to talk about what sizes and shapes they recommend for your body type, it made a big difference for me.

i am in the same boat, literally just started looking.

I’d definitely ask where the incisions will be. I was so nervous about visible scars so that was my biggest concern when I was looking around.

Ask your surgeon how they handle the specific risk of breast implant illness and what their protocol is for managing systemic symptoms. It is also smart to inquire about their preferred method for pocket irrigation to minimize the risk of bacterial contamination during the surgery.

make sure you ask to see lots of before and after photos, especially on people who have a similar body frame to you. it really helps to visualize what’s possible and what their aesthetic is like

Definitely bring up your preferences for implant placement, like whether you want them above or below the muscle. That was a big topic when I was looking into various options. Also, asking about the follow-up appointments and if there are any ongoing costs or maintenance involved is super smart

You should also think about what kind of look you want to achieve, since that might influence your surgeon’s recommendations. Just be sure you feel really confident in your decision and don’t rush into anything. Everyone’s body is different, so take your time exploring your options.

i get the scar worry, that’s definitely something to think about
