Breast
Enhancement Tips & Advice
Muscle Up
Interestingly, the breasts
do not contain muscle
tissue. But muscle
underlies the breasts,
therefore working out is not
merely an exercise in
futility. Exercise can
lift and shape the series of
muscles located underneath
the breast. These
muscles, working together
with a ligament called
Cooper's ligament, simulate
the support of a natural
bra. Do not attempt
any exercise after your
breast surgery until
directed to do so by your
surgeon.
Implants and Breast-Feeding
Many women are concerned
about being able to breast
feed their children after
breast surgery. In
most cases, breast implants
should not affect the
ability to breast-feed or
produce milk. Even if
you experience difficulty
breast-feeding, it may not
necessarily be related to
your breast
augmentation-some studies
report that 10 to 15 percent
of women who have never had
breast surgery cannot
adequately breast-feed.
Breast reduction surgery can
further increase the risk of
breast-feeding problems.
Regardless, it's important
to tell your plastic surgeon
if you are planning to have
children after any breast
surgery.
The Switch to Silicone
"I have saline implants.
Now that silicone implants
are available again, should
I make the switch?"
Silicone may feel
somewhat more like natural
breast tissue but that
doesn't mean silicone
implants are the right
choice for every women.
If you are happy with the
appearance and there is no
other reason for implant
replacement, you can leave
the saline implants alone.
However, if you are looking
for a change in size or
shape, if your implants no
longer match your body
image, or if you are
experiencing any condition
that warrants replacement
your should consult with
your plastic surgeon.
Breast Wishes
Women explore breast
enhancement for a myriad of
reasons--a desire to have
larger breasts, to return to
pre-pregnancy shape, to
regain a figure altered by
cancer or other trauma or
just to turn back the clock.
