If you plan to move forward with breast augmentation, you probably want to feel completely confident before you commit. Your decision should feel informed, comfortable, and free of pressure. The best way to reach that point is to ask the right questions.
Board-certified plastic surgeon Vivian Hsu, MD, at Best Impression Cosmetic Surgery in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, offers expert advice and can tailor treatment to you. When you understand the procedure clearly, you can move into your consultation and surgery with a sense of control. You deserve that clarity from the start.
Every patient brings unique anatomy, lifestyle goals, and expectations into the consultation. You might feel excited but also unsure about what “realistic” means for you. Dr. Hsu can guide you through the specifics of your body and explain what different implant sizes, shapes, and placements can achieve.
When you see examples of results from patients with similar builds, you gain a more accurate understanding. It creates healthier expectations and reduces any fear of choosing the wrong size. By asking this question early, you set the tone for an open and honest conversation.
Implant options can feel overwhelming. You may hear about silicone or saline, smooth or textured, round or anatomical, and wonder how anyone makes a choice. Dr. Hsu can break it down in a way that actually makes sense. When you ask about each option, you learn how the implants feel, how they move, and how they look on different body types.
Placement matters too. Dr. Hsu can explain how the implant’s position affects your long-term comfort, recovery, and overall appearance. When you understand how these choices shape the final result, you step into the decision with much more confidence.
You may feel nervous about what happens after surgery. That is completely normal. Recovery varies from person to person, so you should ask Dr. Hsu to walk you through it step by step. You want to know how much time you need off work, when you can exercise again, and how to handle temporary swelling or tightness.
When Dr. Hsu explains these details clearly, you gain a sense of control over your healing. You can prepare your home, adjust your schedule, and set up the support you need. The preparation reduces stress and helps you recover smoothly.
You deserve honesty, not sugarcoating. Every surgical procedure carries risks, and breast augmentation is no exception. When you ask Dr. Hsu to explain them, you place your safety first. You also open the door to an important discussion about how she prevents complications and how the office responds if something unexpected occurs.
Although complications are uncommon, you should understand what they look like and when to seek help. Clear communication here builds trust, and trust should guide every part of your surgical journey.
Even though implants can last for many years, they don’t last forever. You should ask Dr. Hsu about the long-term plan. Understanding the expected lifespan of your implants helps you set realistic expectations. You also gain insight into how your body may change with aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations.
Dr. Hsu can explain how to protect your results and when to schedule future check-ins. By asking this question, you think not just about the moment of surgery but also the years ahead.
Breast augmentation can feel exciting and intimidating, but asking the right questions gives you clarity and control. Call or schedule an appointment online today to start the conversation.
