Unhappy with the Size of Your Breasts? Read This (Part 1)

by

What would you like to change about yourself? For many women, it’s their breasts.

More than 18,500 women in 40 countries participated in the Breast Size Satisfaction Survey, the results of which were published earlier this year. It’s believed to be the largest cross-cultural study to examine body image ever undertaken. Nearly half of the women who participated (48%, specifically) said they wanted larger breasts. (The average age of the participants was 34.)

The researchers behind the study also discovered that that dissatisfaction was associated with poorer psychological well-being, including lower levels of self-esteem and happiness, and that those women were more likely to be unhappy with their weight and overall appearance, too.

So, if you’re feeling insecure about your breasts, you’re far from alone. Whether you want to increase your cup size or lift them post-pregnancy or -weight loss, consulting with a board-certified plastic surgeon may not only prove informative but it could also help you feel less, well, stuck.

The consultation

A consultation isn’t a purely one-way experience. You should come prepared with some basic background knowledge of what breast augmentation entails, which will enable you to ask more pointed questions about both the procedure and the and the surgeon him- or herself, such as:

  • How many breast augmentations did you do last year?
  • What was your complication rate?
  • What shape, size, surface texturing, incision site and placement site are recommended for me? (More on that in a moment.)
  • Where and how will you perform my breast augmentation surgery?
  • How can I expect my implanted breasts to look over time? After pregnancy? After breastfeeding?

Also ask to see before-and-after photos specifically of women with your body type.

Meanwhile, the plastic surgeon’s also going to try to get to know you and understand the motivation that brought you to his or her office. They’re also going to ask about your medical background, in case there’s anything that may have relevance to the surgery.

Finally, they’re going to examine you physically. Your anatomy plays an important role in determining the size and shape of your implants.

Size and shape

The plain truth is: Some have more capacity for breast implants than others. But breast augmentation also isn’t purely about the size of the implant. A plastic surgeon who’s experienced in the procedure will be keenly aware of creating the right aesthetic balance of tissue above and below the nipple. Breasts that aren’t slightly fuller below the nipple tend to look noticeably artificial.

The shape of the implant itself is also an important variable. There are two different shapes, generally speaking, round and teardrop. The teardrop offers a slightly more natural look. But, again, it depends on your anatomy. The idea is to work with your body as much as possible, not against it.

In my next post, I’ll discuss what the surgery entails, the difference between breast augmentation and a breast lift, and what the recovery’s like.

Preparing for the Future of COVID-19

by

Something that we are very proud of here at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery is our commitment to progressing the world of plastic surgery. Regarding the future of COVID-19, our practice has been tasked with looking forward to the long-term implications of this virus.

As you may know, we have instituted brand new ways for you to have your consultation preformed. After speaking with plastic surgeons around the world, Dr. Steven Davis has concluded these innovative procedures aren’t going anywhere soon.

Fortunately, our team continues to prepare for the future of COVID-19 and how it may affect the future of plastic surgery.

As the chief of plastic surgery at the Jefferson Health Systems of all the South Jersey, Dr. Steven Davis sees first-hand the effects of this pandemic. As we prepare for the future of COVID-19, we would like to extend our appreciation to all health care works on the frontline. We support you.

[Transcript]

Hi, everyone, coming to you from a bunker, as I’m self quarantining, like I’m sure all of you are also. One of the things I wanted to talk with you about, is how Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery and my whole staff and myself are really trying to look ahead and try to gear things up for when we all come out of this.

And I’m involved in a lot of different activities. So I’m getting an opportunity to see both ends of the spectrum, of very critical situations that I’ll explain, and also from the aesthetic plastic surgery side. So as you most likely know, I’m the chief of plastic surgery at the Jefferson Health Systems of all the South Jersey.

And we’re seeing a lot of patients that are very critical, and really going through a lot with this COVID-19 crisis. And what I’m seeing is such an unbelievable and overwhelming response in the community in trying to get everybody to really pitch in and do what we can to help out.

All the hospital staff and the hospital workers, and all my fellow physicians and nurses are really doing everything that we can to support everything that we need to do in South Jersey to make a very positive approach to this.

And part of that is me being available to go into the operating room and do traumas and other things that may be necessary, because a lot of the healthcare people, the nurses and surgical techs may not be able or available because they may be sick or their family members may be sick.

So from that end, I’m really seeing a lot of that side of what’s going on with this whole pandemic. But I’m also a member of the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons. And I just got off of another webinar, because weekly we’re having meetings.

And in this webinar, it’s really fascinating because five different continents are being represented. In this meeting today, there were people from Greece and Italy, and Argentina, and just talking about what they’re going through, and to hear how people let’s say, in Saudi Arabia, have potentially had less of this Covid-19 crisis because many of them are wearing veils and masks all the time. So, it’s very interesting to hear their perspective on things.

But what I can tell you is that coming out of this, one of the things that we’re all going to be very, very, very attuned to, is hygiene.

And very attuned to when you’re coming back into the office, we’re going to have special ways of getting you from your car, into our office, making sure that we’re really doing the very best in taking care of you as well as our staff, and the rest of the facility.

We’re also going to step up our in-office procedures, because a lot of going back to different facilities may be a little bit of a delay.

So I want you all to continue to stay focused and keep up to date on what we’re doing at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, because I do think we’re gonna have a lot of very, very special ways of creating an atmosphere that you’re going to feel very safe in, we’re going to feel very safe for you to come into, and a lot of it’s in flux right now.

But, I’m going to be coming to you with more and more videos and more podcasts to explain to you all the different things we’re doing at Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery to stay up to date on things. So take care and stay safe.

Dr. Steven Davis of Davis Cosmetic Plastic Surgery in Cherry Hill, New Jersey wants to ensure the comfort of all patients, which begins with education. We hope our video series can provide useful information for those with upcoming appointments or interested in the behind-the-scenes action of plastic surgery.

Thank you for watching Dr. Steven Davis discuss the future of COVID-19. If you want more content in audio format, please check out The Plastic Surgery Revolution. Also, check out Dr. Steven Davis on Instagram, Facebook & Twitter!
