Having breast augmentation (breast implants) is a highly personal decision. There are many reasons why a woman may consider having breast augmentation which include:

• Increase in breast size: many women feel conscious of the fact that their breasts are too small. Having a breast augmentation can help a woman achieve the breast size which she feels is ideal for her.

• Increase in breast symmetry: alongside not being happy with the size of their breasts, many women also feel unhappy about the shape of their breasts. A breast lift can help improve the symmetry of the breasts which can be done alongside a breast implant.

• Increase in confidence: many women feel less confident due to the size of their breast. Many women say that they achieve a boost in self confidence after having a breast augmentation as they start to feel less conscious about their breast size.

• Reverse the signs of ageing: with age the breasts gradually start to lose their youthful appearance. Having a breast augmentation and breast lift can help restore the youthful appearance of the breasts by enhancing their volume and symmetry.

• Restore breast size after weight loss: weight loss can cause a loss in breast size which can be restored through having a breast augmentation.

• Enhance appearance: many women have breast implants simply because they want to enhance their appearance.

Choosing a good cosmetic surgeon to perform your cosmetic surgery is essential. But how do you find a good cosmetic surgeon? Although there is no single definite answer to the question there are definitely some useful guidelines which you can follow to find the right cosmetic surgeon for your cosmetic surgery procedure.

 

Below are six tips which should help you in finding the right cosmetic surgeon: 

 

1. Is the cosmetic surgeon you are thinking about choosing for your cosmetic surgery registered with the GMC? All UK qualified cosmetic surgeons are members of the General Medical Council. You can check whether your cosmetic surgeon is registered with the GMC on the GMC website.
2. Alongside being members of the GMC, all qualified plastic surgeons (cosmetic surgeons) who are accredited in the UK are listed on the Specialist Register in Plastic Surgery. If you are considering having cosmetic surgery in UK then you should check with your surgeon whether he or she is on the register.
3. Do you feel comfortable with the cosmetic surgeon? Always remember that having cosmetic surgery is a very personal decision and that you should feel comfortable expressing your wishes and needs to your cosmetic surgeon. You should not base your decisions on qualifications only. Choose a cosmetic surgeon who listens to your requirements and understands your individual needs.
4. What experience does the cosmetic surgeon have in performing the particular cosmetic surgery that you will be having? For example is this the first time he will be performing that particular cosmetic surgery or the 500^th time.
5. Where will the cosmetic surgery be performed? Is it convenient for you?
6. What about the other staff who will be looking after you such as the nursing staff? Do you feel comfortable with them? Remember to take a holistic view on the matter as you will require post operative care and a good follow up management plan after your cosmetic surgery.

Since being approved by the FDA, smartlipo has become one of the most popular fat removal procedures. Stated below are five benefits of smart lipo treatment which are causing its popularity to continuously grow:

1. Smartlipo (also sometimes known as laser lipolysis) has minimal downtime. Most people can resume their normal activities almost immediately after having smartlipo treatment and it is common for people to return to work the day after the procedure. The recovery time post liposuction cosmetic surgery is much longer.
2. Smartlipo is a minimally invasive procedure and hence has low complication rates and side effects in comparison to fat removal cosmetic surgery.
3. Smartlipo can be performed under local anaesthesia and hence does not require a general anaesthetic. General anaesthesia has a significantly higher complication rate and recovery time in comparison to local anaesthesia.
4. Smartlipo can be used to treat areas which are generally considered unsuitable for lipsuction such as the face and neck.
5. Alongside removing unwanted fat, smartlipo also helps tighten the skin around the treatment area giving it a more firm appearance. This is due to the fact that the smart lipo laser has an effect on the local skin collagen which causes the skin to shrink and gradually tighten over 6-8 weeks post treatment.
