Ninety-eight percent of women undergoing breast augmentation surgery say the results met or exceeded their expectations, according to a prospective outcome study published in an issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
Women also report improvements in self-esteem and quality of life after breast augmentation, according to the study. The study adds high-quality information regarding expected outcomes after breast augmentation – including recovery time and psychological benefits.
98 Percent of Women Satisfied with Breast Augmentation Results
The survey study evaluated 225 consecutive women who returned for interviews at least one month after breast augmentation over a five-year period. Interviews included questions about the recovery, results, complications and psychological effects.
The average patient was 34 years old, and the majority of women received saline-filled breast implants placed under the muscle. The average implant volume was 390 cc.
On a 10-point scale, the women reported an average pain score during recovery of 5.9. On average, they used prescription pain medication for five days and were off work seven days. Patients felt they were “back to normal” about 25 days after surgery.
Eighty-five percent of women rated their new breast size “just right.” Thirteen percent would have preferred a larger size and less than two percent a smaller size. Only one percent expressed dissatisfaction with their scars, which were usually located in the crease under the breast. Seventy-five percent of women rated their breast firmness “just right.” When asked to rate the result, over half of the patients gave it a perfect 10 on a scale of 1 to 10. Almost all patients (98 percent) reported that the results met or exceeded their expectations.
Increased Self-Esteem and Other Psychological Benefits
Nearly 40 percent of the women surveyed experienced at least temporary nipple numbness after surgery. Persistent numbness was reported by only two percent. The complication rate reported by patients was 10 percent. When asked about psychological effects, 92 percent of women reported improved self-esteem after breast augmentation and 64 percent reported an improved quality of life. Before surgery, the majority of women (86 percent) were self-conscious about their breasts. After surgery, only 13 percent were self-conscious about them.
Breast augmentation remains the most popular plastic surgery procedure for women. In 2013, there were 290,224 breast augmentation surgeries performed by ASPS member surgeons. That represents a growth of 37% since 2000. The study results provide new information for women considering breast augmentation, particularly in terms of their expectations of the recovery and results. “This study is valuable in providing information from the patient’s perspective, not the surgeon’s,” according to Dr. Swanson. “Patient satisfaction is the most important measure of surgical success.”

El noventa y ocho por ciento de las mujeres sometidas a cirugía de aumento mamario dicen que los resultados alcanzaron o superaron sus expectativas, según un estudio de resultados prospectivo publicado en una edición de Plástica y Reconstructiva Surgery®, la revista médica oficial de la Sociedad Americana de Cirujanos Plásticos (ASPS) .
Las mujeres también reportan mejoras en la autoestima y la calidad de vida después de aumento de senos, según el estudio. El estudio añade información de alta calidad respecto a los resultados deseados con el aumento de senos – incluyendo el tiempo de recuperación y los beneficios psicológicos.
98 Porcentaje de mujeres satisfechas con los resultados de aumento de senos
El estudio encuesta evaluó 225 mujeres consecutivas que regresaron para las entrevistas, al menos, un mes después de aumento de senos durante un período de cinco años. Las entrevistas incluyeron preguntas sobre la recuperación, resultados, complicaciones y efectos psicológicos.
El paciente promedio fue de 34 años de edad, y la mayoría de las mujeres recibieron implantes mamarios rellenos de solución salina colocados debajo del músculo. El volumen medio de los implantes fue de 390 cc.
En una escala de 10 puntos, las mujeres reportaron una puntuación media de dolor durante la recuperación de 5,9. En promedio, se utilizan medicamentos para el dolor durante cinco días y estaban fuera del trabajo de siete días. Los pacientes sentían que eran “volver a la normalidad” unos 25 días después de la cirugía.
El ochenta y cinco por ciento de las mujeres calificaron su nuevo tamaño de los senos “justo.” El trece por ciento hubiera preferido un tamaño más grande y menos de dos por ciento de un tamaño más pequeño. Sólo el uno por ciento expresó su descontento con sus cicatrices, que por lo general se ubican en el pliegue debajo del pecho. El setenta y cinco por ciento de las mujeres calificaron su firmeza del pecho “justo.” Cuando se les pidió calificar el resultado, más de la mitad de los pacientes le dio un perfecto 10 en una escala de 1 a 10. Casi todos los pacientes (98 por ciento) informó que los resultados alcanzaron o superaron sus expectativas.
El aumento de la autoestima y Otros Beneficios psicológicos
Casi el 40 por ciento de las mujeres encuestadas experimentaron al menos temporal pezón entumecimiento después de la cirugía. Entumecimiento persistente fue reportado por sólo dos por ciento. La tasa de complicaciones reportada por los pacientes fue de 10 por ciento. Cuando se le preguntó acerca de los efectos psicológicos, el 92 por ciento de las mujeres informó de mejora de la autoestima después de aumento de senos y el 64 por ciento informó de una mejor calidad de vida. Antes de la cirugía, la mayoría de las mujeres (86 por ciento) eran tímidos sobre sus pechos. Después de la cirugía, sólo el 13 por ciento era consciente de ellos.
El aumento del pecho sigue siendo el procedimiento de cirugía plástica más popular para las mujeres. En 2013, había 290.224 cirugías de aumento de senos realizados por cirujanos miembros de la ASPS. Esto representa un crecimiento del 37% desde el año 2000. Los resultados del estudio proporcionan nueva información para mujeres que están considerando el aumento del pecho, sobre todo en cuanto a sus expectativas de recuperación y resultados. “Este estudio es valioso en el suministro de información desde la perspectiva del paciente, no el cirujano”, según el Dr. Swanson. “La satisfacción del paciente es la medida más importante del éxito de la cirugía.”

Natrelle® Breast Implants are indicated for women for the following:

Breast augmentation for women at least 22 years old for silicone-filled implants.
Breast augmentation for women at least 18 years old for saline-filled implants.
Breast augmentation includes primary breast augmentation to increase breast size, as well as revision surgery to correct or improve the result of a primary breast augmentation surgery.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Who should NOT get breast implants (CONTRAINDICATIONS)?

Breast implant surgery should not be performed in women with active infection anywhere in their body, with existing cancer or pre-cancer of their breast who have not received adequate treatment for those conditions, and women who are currently pregnant or nursing.
What else should I consider (WARNINGS)?
Breast implants are not lifetime devices or necessarily a one-time surgery. You may experience unacceptable dimpling, puckering, wrinkling, or other cosmetic changes of the breast, which may be permanent. Breast implants may affect your ability to produce milk for breastfeeding. Silicone-filled implants may rupture without symptoms. MRI examinations 3 years after surgery and then 2 years after can detect ruptures. Symptoms of a ruptured implant may be hard knots or lumps surrounding the implant or in the armpit, change or loss of size or shape of the breast or implant, pain, tingling, swelling, numbness, burning or hardening. Talk to your doctor about removing ruptured implants. Inform any other doctor if you have implants.

Breast implants are still overwhelming choice for women, but since 2000 breast lifts are up 70 percent

New statistics released by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) show that breast lift procedures are growing at twice the rate of breast implant surgeries. Since 2000, breast lifts have grown by 70 percent, outpacing implants two-to-one. Breast implants are still by far the most performed cosmetic surgery in women, but lifts are steadily gaining. In 2013, more than 90,000 breast lift procedures were performed by ASPS member surgeons.
“Many women are looking for a youthful breast by using the tissue they already have,” said ASPS President Robert X. Murphy, Jr., MD.
According to the new statistics, women between the ages of 30-54 made up nearly 70 percent of the breast lift procedures performed in 2013.
According to the latest statistics from ASPS, fewer than 53,000 breast lifts were performed in 2000. Last year there were 90,006, an increase of 70 percent since 2000.
Breast augmentation remains the most popular plastic surgery procedure for women. In 2013, there were 290,224 breast augmentation surgeries performed by ASPS member surgeons. That represents a growth of 37% since 2000, just under half the rate of breast lifts.

Eyelid surgery and facelifts are up. So are butt augmentations and neck lifts, according to new figures from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons that show a steady increase in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures in the United States.
This was the fourth consecutive year of growth, the society reported, noting more than 15 million cosmetic surgeries and minimally invasive procedures were performed in 2013, an increase of 3 percent from the year before.
Nose jobs, liposuction and laser hair removal missed the boom, however. These procedures declined from the previous year, the report said.
Meanwhile, reconstructive surgeries increased by 2 percent, the society reported.
Better technology and new products, including a facial filler that uses hyaluronic acid (Juvederm Voluma) to treat mid-face volume loss as well as two types of silicone gel breast implants recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, are likely the reason behind the upward trend, the society noted.
“The demand for plastic surgery remains strong, with our statistics showing increases in both cosmetic surgical and minimally invasive procedures,” said society president Dr. Robert Murphy.
“Facial rejuvenation procedures were especially robust last year, with more Americans opting for facelifts, forehead lifts, eyelid surgery, fillers and peels,” Murphy said in a society news release. “With new devices and products hitting the market each year, there are more options and choices available to consumers wanting to refresh their look or [undergo] a little nip and tuck.”
Of the 13.4 million minimally invasive procedures performed in 2013, the most common included:

  • Botox injections: 6.3 million injections, up 3 percent
  • Soft tissue fillers: 2.2 million procedures, up 13 percent
  • Chemical peels: 1.2 million procedures, up 3 percent

With more people taking steps to smooth out their wrinkles and folds, the report noted that Botox injections jumped 700 percent since 2000. And hyaluronic acid facial fillers have increased 18 percent since 2012.
There were also 1.7 million cosmetic surgeries in 2013, up 1 percent from a year ago. Among the most common procedures:

  • Breast augmentation: 290,000 procedures, up 1 percent
  • Nose jobs: 221,000 procedures, down 9 percent
  • Eyelid surgery: 216,000 procedures, up 6 percent
  • Liposuction: 200,000 procedures, down 1 percent
  • Facelifts: 133,000 procedures, up 6 percent

Silicone implants were used in 72 percent of all breast augmentations, while saline implants were chosen for 28 percent of these surgeries. The experts noted new technology offers women more natural looking and feeling results.
Butt augmentation with fat grafting and neck lifts are two new procedures also on the rise in the United States, according to the report.
There were 10,000 butt augmentation procedures performed in 2013, up 16 percent from 2012. More than 55,000 neck lifts were also performed last year, up 6 percent from the year before.
Reconstructive plastic surgery to improve both the appearance and function of abnormalities also increased 2 percent in 2013. The top reconstructive procedures performed last year include: tumor removal, up 5 percent from 2012; laceration repair, with 254,000 procedures; and scar revision.
Breast reconstruction, with 96,000 procedures, was up 4 percent last year.
“It’s promising to see breast reconstruction rates rising,” noted Murphy. “Less than 20 percent of breast cancer patients undergo breast reconstruction because they are not always informed of their options, although studies show that reconstruction greatly improves quality of life.”
