Previously confined to actresses, breast augmentation surgeries are pretty common nowadays. The standards of beauty have risen higher to the point that almost every single woman out there plans to get cosmetic surgery done and breast augmentation is one of them. Women invest in such operations because of their physical insecurities. That is precisely how the beauty industry has grown – benefiting from their insecurities.

However, there is nothing wrong with feeling good about yourself, and that is what breast augmentation does to your body. While many women are getting their breasts implanted, they need to understand several factors before going for breast augmentation. So, without further delay, let talk about these factors.

Your saggy breasts cannot be fixed with a breast augmentation

The breast augmentation will not help you in getting rid of the saggy breasts. It will lead to more saggy breasts because of the increased volume of the breasts. Be sure to know the type of surgery you need, when do you need it and why. Talking about sagginess, the best procedure for it is mastopexy or breast lift. Get your breast augmentation procedure done from a reputed cosmetic surgeon such as Absolute Cosmetics that deal with all types of surgeries. 

Sooner or later, you will need to replace breast implants

Even though breast augmentation is a safe and generally thought to be a long-lasting solution to your problem, it is not a permanent treatment. The breast implants will only last for a decade or so, after which you have to replace them. People who have gone through the surgery will have to go for annual checkups from time to time. I recommend you do ample research before going through this life-altering procedure.

Don’t think this is a one-time job, expect another surgery in the future

Majority of the people who have done breast augmentation believe that it is a one-time job. Although there is a possibility that you will outlive your implants, you will need another breast surgery in the future.

It isn’t as simple as you think it is

There is a lot of research that pertains to the breast augmentation. You will have to choose several things and finalize the best. From selecting the shape of your breast implants to its texture, you will have to dig into every minor detail before moving ahead.

Breast augmentation takes time to fully mature

What you will see right after the surgery isn’t the final result. The whole procedure takes time to settle down. Initially, you will experience swelling and bruising on the breasts. These may last for a couple of weeks after which your breast implants will fully heal and transform. So, be patient, wait for the desired results, and follow your surgeon’s advice.

Rita Wilson, who took a break from her Broadway play Fish in the Dark last week to have surgery, said she had been diagnosed with invasive lobular carcinoma after seeking a second opinion from pathologists.

“I share this to educate others that a second opinion is critical to your health,” the actress wrote.

“You have nothing to lose if both opinions match up for the good, and everything to gain if something that was missed is found.”

Rita Wilson, who appeared with Tom Hanks in Sleepless in Seattle and has a recurring role in TV series The Good Wife, is expected to return to Fish in the Dark on May 5th.

Jean-Claude Mas, the founder of French company PIP, which distributed defective breast implants around the world, has been sentenced to four years in prison for fraud.

Jean-Claude Mas was also fined 75,000 euros ($101,000) by a court in Marseille.

He will remain at liberty until a French court hears an appeal lodged by his lawyer.

PIP’s sale of faulty implants caused a global health scare which affected about 300,000 women in 65 countries.

The company was found to have used sub-standard silicone gel – rather than medical-grade silicone – which the result that many implants ruptured.

Apart from Jean-Claude Mas, four other former PIP executives were convicted and given lesser sentences.

With more than 5,000 women registered as plaintiffs in the case, and about 300 lawyers, the trial was considered one of the biggest in French legal history.

The health scare came to public attention in 2011 when the French government recommended that women have PIP implants removed due to an abnormally high rupture rate.

The issue of whether the sub-standard silicone used in the implants posed any danger was not resolved by the trial, AFP news agency notes.

Jean-Claude Mas, 74, showed no sign of emotion as sentence was passed. His lawyer, Yves Haddad, blamed the severity of the sentence on pressure generated by the media, and said he would appeal, meaning that Mas will remain at liberty until the outcome of a further hearing.

He and the others had all admitted to fraud.

PIP’s director-general was sentenced to three years in prison, two of which were suspended.

The company’s head of quality control received two years, one of them suspended, and the head of research and development was sentenced to 18 months, suspended.

Throughout the trial, Jean-Claude Mas had denied the silicone used was harmful while all but one of the other defendants said they had not been aware of the risks.

When an implant ruptures, the silicone gel filling can leak into the body. Some women will not notice anything at all, and there is no evidence of an increased cancer risk.

However, it can result in the formation of scar tissue that can change the shape and feel of the breast. The gel can be an irritant, causing pain and inflammation. It can also be more difficult to remove an implant once it has ruptured.

France’s Health Products Agency (ANSM) has to date registered more than 7,500 implant ruptures and 3,000 cases of undesirable effects, mainly inflammations, among the 30,000 women using PIP products in France.
