Breast implants have been around for some decades now.  It was originally designed to improve the look of a woman's silhoutte using round smooth implants through surgery, of course!  One of the other reasons is to restore confidence in a person. But there are so many questions that you may want to ask about it even though it has been around for a while, there are tonnes of information on the media and even some of your friends or family may have them.  Why is this so?  It is because it is normal to be concerned.  It is normal to be inquisitive.  It is normal to be anxious.  After all, you are having surgery on your body, and providing permission for a trusted surgeon to perform your operation in the best and finest way possible!

So who is the best cosmetic surgeon?  What is the best implant?  What is the best recovery plan?  What is the best long term follow-up plan?  What about breasfeeding? What about the cost? How about time off work?  How about returning to one hand stands after surgery(if at all, this is what you do)? How do I get the best breasts?

Sure, we can even discuss the intricacies of breast implants regarding its inception, projection, width, surface, weight, circumference, durability, longetivity, and the list goes on...but...

"There is something more important than breast implants...that is you!"...Dr Nara emphasizes this for all his patients.  "You are more important than all the above".  Choose a surgeon that understands you.  Someone that has taken the time and effort to do so.  Certainly, years of experience, qualifications, skill and dexterity matter.  But qualifications in what?  Is your surgeon formally trained in cosmetic surgery?  Dr Nara is a fully qualified surgical fellow of the Australasian College of Cosmetic Surgery and Medicine.  He wanted to undertake this intense fellowship specific to cosmetic surgery and medicine to help him understand patients better as well as to be skilled in cosmetic surgery.  Also, to build a strong network across all the fellows from his college.   

All cosmetic surgery or cosmetic treatments have its inherent benefits, risks and complications.  These can happen to any patient of any surgeon on earth.  Why?  Because, as long as we are human, we will always be exposed to it. 

Some important aspects to consider:-

• "Too big to fail " - yes, if you choose an implant that is too big, it is not without potential failure.
• "Too much, too soon" - yes, if you have implants that are too big too early on in life, your risks are higher and opens the door to problems.
• "Too small, to make a difference" - yes, while this is true, there is a fine balance.

Stay calm...

Don't rush...

Don't worry...

Stay aBreast!...

Having understood the above, breast implants have its merits! Restoration of the volume of breasts, looking better in clothes and in some cases restoring self-esteem.  This is an individual's choice and right!  But to inherit these merits, you may want to take enough time to make a good decision and meet a surgeon that is actually interested in your safety and not just performing the surgery.
