Although breast augmentation is obviously an elective surgery, it still requires plenty of education and preparation. If you have a date scheduled for this big step, then hopefully you have already taken care of the education part. But you may be feeling a little nervous about the latter. Hearing some extra tips about getting ready for your upcoming operation might ease your mind, so try to relax and then read on. As you likely already know, health insurance does not generally cover any of the expenses incurred from breast augmentation in NYC or elsewhere. That is why it is important to discuss potential financing options with your surgeon's office. Or you can pay in full at the time of surgery. This is not an option for most people, as this procedure costs anywhere between five and nine thousand dollars. You should have received an estimate from your surgeon to give you a more specific number. But saving as much as you can beforehand will certainly be helpful. Make sure that your general physician has administered a complete physical so that you can detect any problems that could cause complications during the surgery. After all, there are risks involved with any surgery, especially those for which anesthesia will be used. Discussing these potential risks with both your doctor and surgeon can help you feel mentally and physically more prepared. You will want to know that the surgeon you have selected is the best at what he does. Don't trust exclusively in the testimonials you see on his or her website or in their office. You need to dig a little deeper. Contact the medical board to find out if there have been any formal complaints against them. If there are, don't be alarmed and back out immediately. Instead, try to find out the nature of the complaint so you can use your best judgment over making a reactionary decision. As I mentioned before, there are some natural complications that can occur during the surgery, especially if the patient is not adhering to medical advice. They may blame the surgeon if something goes wrong when they should be taking responsibility for their own mistake. You probably already know that there are three primary times of breast augmentation. The first two involve implants--either silicone or saline. Silicone tend to be slightly more expensive, but they harbor fewer chances of leakage and other complications than saline. The third type is called fat grafting, and it is just what it sounds like. The surgeon removes fat deposits from other parts of the body and incorporates them into the breast. The results are less dramatic than those with implants, but it does look a little more natural. So, make sure that you've made the right decision among these options. You still have time to change your mind before the surgery. You might need to make some adjustments in scheduling and other logistics, but this is your body and your life. You need to weigh all of your options!
