Questions To Ask Before You Sign Up For Surgery

Tag Archives: Breast Augmentation Atlanta

Going through with any cosmetic surgical procedure, whether it’s a simple breast augmentation of a complex tummy tuck, is something that every patient should take seriously. During consultations many patients struggle to remember important questions they might have about the procedure, possible outcomes and aftercare. This list of four questions should help cover most of the vital information needed to feel safe and knowledgable about your surgery.

Is your surgeon qualified and experienced in your chosen procedure?

In the same way you wouldn’t expect a certified plastic surgeon to perform neurosurgery, you shouldn’t expect an OBGYN to be able to perform a tummy tuck. Only plastic surgeons are qualified and trained with techniques to give the best results possible in cosmetic and reconstructive surgeries, experienced surgeons will have plenty of before and after photos to showcase their hard work and expertise.

What are common issues patients experience after the procedure?

There are some common problems that cause patients undue stress following procedures, that would not if www.meaganophotography.com they were thoroughly explained before undergoing surgery. Ask your doctor what you should expect to see and feel while recovering from surgery and what to look for that could be a more unusual issue.

What should you expect during recovery?

Every surgical procedure has a very different recovery process and different things to avoid. How long the recovery period lasts also varies between procedures, breast augmentation patients may begin to feel back to their usual selves in a matter of days while the recovery following a tummy tuck is longer. Following breast augmentation patient avoid carrying heavy objects, arm exercises and reaching for high objects, however after a Brazilian Butt Lift patients must avoid applying and sort of pressure to the buttocks. Some of these directions may seem obvious but it is important to be absolutely clear on any instructions before undergoing surgery.

What results can you realistically expect from your surgery?

While any surgeon will do their best to create results that are as close to what the patient desires as possible, there are sometimes physical limitations to how close they can get to achieving this. Either because of the patients safety or simply because there is only so much surgery can achieve. Make sure that before surgery your expectations and desires are in line with your surgeons so that you can have the greatest confidence in the outcome of your procedure.

It is always important to address any concerns with your doctor, take notes or ask a family member to go with you if you feelthat you may forget key point made during your consultation.

Large, sagging breasts can be the cause of serious back and shoulder pain for many women. Aside from the physical aspects, women can also feel lower self esteem and confidence due to the over-sized or drooping breasts. Breast reduction involves reducing the amount of breast tissue and is usually combined with a lift to reduce any excess skin and sagging that is associated with larger breasts. During the procedure the nipples are relocated to a higher more desirable position and the areolar size is reduced if needed. There are different incisions that may be used during a breast lift procedure that are chosen after consultation with the surgeon. You can see Dr McCluskey explains the differences between these incisions here!

Breast augmentation is a great way for patients to enhance the female figure and in many cases improve self esteem. This young transgender patient had undergone silicone injections into her breast tissue in the past. Following consultation with Dr McCluskey, the patient chose to undergo a breast augmentation with 550cc silicone breast implants while having Dr McCluskey simultaneously remove any of the old injected silicone and scar tissue. When silicone is injected it is extremely difficult to remove and only a limited amount can be removed with out causing safety risks for the patient. The patient selected a periareolar incision, meaning the incision line is around the nipple. Please watch and leave any comments or questions you may have!

One of our patients kindly decided to describe her breast augmentation experience at the Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta.

“I debated for years before I finally decided to undergo a breast augmentation with Dr. McCluskey. Plastic surgery was not something I felt desperate for, nor did I think it would change my life. I was always unhappy with my breast size. As a kid I was made fun of by my childhood friends for not developing when they did. As a cheerleader I used to stuff my sports bra so that I wouldn’t look weird in my uniform. Thankfully, these insecurities never caused me to fear going out in public like other women I have seen undergo breast augmentation. As I got older I was confident enough with my body yet I wanted breasts. Not huge breasts but larger ones that could give me an added curve to my body on top. Even pregnancy did not enlarge my breasts. Pregnancy was the one thing I thought for sure would take me out of my training bra finally into a bra for the adult female. Go figure. During my consult with Dr. McCluskey I felt extremely comfortable and he was so kind to answer all of my questions. My experiences with other offices weren’t as easy. I felt a lot of the doctors seemed rushed. I was able to get all the information available about implants from the different kinds (saline and silicone gel) to what my post op experience would be. The day of my surgery could not have gone more smoothly. Dr. McCluskey’s entire staff was extremely helpful and attentive to my needs. Any surgical procedure is scary and it was wonderful having the kind of patient care his staff gives.

I went with an implant size (350cc Hi Profile Gel) that looked more natural. I did not want many people to know I even had the surgery done. The fake look was not my goal. I just wanted to finally wear that Victoria’s Secret 34C bra I eyed for so long. And four weeks after my surgery when I tried on that bra in the VS dressing room I was satisfied. I continue to be in love and happy with my breasts. My fiancé loves them too!! Thank you Dr. McCluskey and the entire staff at the Plastic Surgery Institute of Atlanta!”
