Continued from Part I (at thebestbreast.com) Time off to recover - If the breast augmentation procedure requires that you take a week off and during that week you cannot lift your arms or drive or function normally - this recovery will ADD to your cost because you will have to fly in your mother or his mother, or hire a baby sitter or even just calling to see if someone else can help pick up the kids from school - this all adds to your cost of the procedure. If you have to take more time off work, it costs you either in sick days, or vacation time as well. Time - your time - is money and very valuable to you and your family. Long term risk of revision and reoperation - Now here's the big one - remember that saying, you get what you pay for? It's applicable here too. The decisions that you make with your surgeon preoperatively will affect the long term result - how long it lasts and how happy you are with that result! From size and what that size will do to your tissues over time, to the type of implant, to your initial experience - - what may seem like a quick fix or an economically sound decision now, may be your worst nightmare in the future. For example, often women choose saline over silicone breast implants because they are cheaper in the beginning - but they are 4 -5 times more likely to deflate and cause reoperation in the future. When you wake up with a flat tire - that means more surgery, more cost and more time off - - more risk. If you are prepared for what to expect and make decisions based on knowledge instead of excitement or hearsay - you will make better decisions that will last longer. So when you research the price of breast implants- look past that first number you are given and delve into the particulars. The two categories that will save you money long term and increase your satisfaction with your overall result and experience are the last two - Time off to recover and Long term risk of revision and reoperation. Ask questions about these two categories of your surgeon - ask details about recovery and what their reoperation risk is to get a better idea of what having breast augmentation surgery will really cost you.
