Beverly Hills, CA - Breast Enhancement

A little time spent searching the history of prosthetics turns up regular occurrences of Ambroise Paré as the father of medical amputation and, not coincidentally, influential in the field of prosthetics. There are examples cited of "earliest known" prosthetics, and commentary about how little change one sees in either materials or technique for the bulk of history. Like so many arenas of human knowledge, however, things have really taken off over the last century or so. Iron, wood, and leather have given way to plastics, fiberglass, and other space-age materials. What's all this got to do with breast implants in Beverly Hills, you ask?

A prosthesis is any artificial device used in place of a body part, or to make a body part work better. Arms and legs come readily to mind, perhaps because they are easily spotted without the use of X-rays, at least at a pool or decathlon. The term also applies to more than just arms and legs, however. Ears, eyes, fingers, teeth, and even devices placed surgically inside the body qualify.

As with external prosthetics, the breast implants used by Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, Dr. Marc Mani, must conform specifically to the individual patient. Unlike an arm or a leg, this kind of prosthesis is surgically implanted under the breast tissue, either over or under the underlying pectoral muscle. Because breast implants do not technically serve a life-sustaining purpose, the surgery is elective, and so not generally covered by insurance. As such the decision to have breast augmentation surgery is that much more personal. The benefits of breast augmentation may be less easily defined than that of an artificial leg, but are no less real.

Breast Augmentation Can Enhance Your Appearance And Your Self-Confidence

Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your surgeon.

The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.
