Philosophy
Now that you are considering cosmetic breast surgery, take some time to consider choosing Dr. Sowder to be your plastic surgeon.
Her philosophy regarding breast augmentation is this:she wants your chest to look like it could have occurred in nature.She wants other women at the gym wondering how you got so lucky, not wondering who did your plastic surgery.
Dr. Sowder has found that by using implants on the small side (she rarely goes over 350cc), the breasts look and feel more natural, enhancing your appearance rather than defining it. Casual acquaintances may not notice your chest but will notice the way clothing fits you better and the way you move with more confidence. Shopping for clothing will be easier and more fun. Trips to the lingerie department will be enjoyable instead of frustrating. You may find yourself getting undressed with the lights on! Breast implants may not change who you are but they may change your self-perception and enhance your self-esteem and thereby enhance your personal relationships. By the way, there is no evidence that breast implants decrease your I.Q!
Dr. Sowder evaluates each patient as an individual and takes your age, general health, childbearing plans, social situation, body type, activity level and, of course, the look you want into consideration before making a surgical plan. At your initial consultation, you will "try on" some implant sizers and see many before and after photos to give you an idea what she can accomplish with your body type. In some cases, patients are better served by a breast lift than an augmentation. In some cases, a tummy tuck or liposuction will balance your figure and breast surgery is not recommended at all.
She emphasizes patient education. Breast augmentation is a good operation but not a perfect operation. What can be accomplished depends a lot on your anatomy in addition to her skill. Realistic expectations are an important part of successful surgery. Breast augmentation is real surgery with real risks and should be done by a real, fully trained plastic surgeon. Also, breast implants may not last a lifetime. Patients need to accept these realities prior to making the decision to have breast implants.
Dr. Sowder has access to just about any implant available in the United States and is an investigator for both Mentor and McGahn gels for patients who meet the inclusion criteria. She has a skilled and caring staff that will help make your surgical experience a good one. Please visit her photo gallery and her master web site at www.sowdermd.com. Dr. Sowder hopes you choose her to be your plastic surgeon.
