by Michael Jenkinston


Meet with a board certified plastic surgeon to take advantage of obtaining a breast augmentation procedure in Oregon. Bring a list of questions with you, including what to expect before you undergo surgery, during the surgery and post-operative. If you have realistic expectations, you will be much more satisfied.

Three main types of prosthetic devices are used. They include saline filled products, silicone gel implants or cohesive gel implants. Each has benefits and can give you the look you are searching for. Many procedures to perform the implantation have been developed that include the location of the implant and how it is inserted.

Sterile saline solution, medical quality, fills a silicone shell to form saline implants. They are considered very safe. Improvements to the outer shell and placement makes them more natural looking. There are even implants that can be put in place using a tiny opening. After inserted, they are filled with saline. This is the least invasive type of operation.

Still the product most requested, silicone implants went through a period of bad press in the 1990s. They underwent revisions and testing and returned to the market in 2006 as safe products to use for breast enhancements. They provide the natural look that many people are looking for.

Gummy Bear, or cohesive gel implants, are the newest additions. In some countries they are only available if the recipient is part of ongoing trials. Many countries, however, agree that they are quite safe and make them available to the general public. They are made of silicone, but it has a much more substantial texture and retains its shape. This also means that there cannot be any leakage. The look and feel is very natural, and the instance of encapsulation is reduced.

Whatever choice you make, be sure to talk to a plastic surgeon to get all the information you need. Many doctors perform the breast augmentation procedure in Oregon. Get a referral from your family doctor, look online or in the phone book for board-certified surgeons. They often offer a free consultation to see if this procedure is right for you.
