A Overview Of The Breast Augmentation Procedure In Oregon Now

By Michael Jenkinston


By far, the most popular type of plastic surgery is breast enhancement. There are many board certified surgeons who can perform your breast augmentation procedure in Oregon. Set up an initial consultation to discuss the options. Your doctor will explain the procedure thoroughly, including all of the positives and negatives, so you have a realistic view of what to expect before, during and after surgery.

There are three main types of breast implants that are used today. Historically, some very odd products were used to enlarge breasts. In the late 1800s, glass balls, ivory and ox cartilage were used. Medicine has made some very significant advances since then.

Saline products have a filling of sterile saline solution that is injection quality. It is considered the safest of all types of implants. The outer shell is much more realistic than ever before. Newer surgery options make them more realistic, too.

While they suffered from bad media attention in the 1990s, silicone gel implants have now been reintroduced to the market as a safer product. The shell material has been improved tremendously, so they are much more durable. They are the most-requested products on the market and provide a natural look and feel.

Cohesive gel implants are new and have the nickname Gummy Bear implants because they resemble the candy of that name. They are a more solid product than the other options and there is no fear of leakage because they remain intact. They are also less likely to encapsulate. Encapsulation is when the scar tissue forms around an implant and pushes it into an odd shape. Because of their texture, these are less likely to cause excessive scarring.

Whatever options you choose, talk to a plastic surgeon for more information. It is easy to find doctors who perform the breast augmentation procedure in Oregon. Look online, in the phone book or talk to your family physician. Initial consultations are often free of charge.
