Be careful before getting breast augmentation done!


Breast augmentation has become a very common procedure in india now and more and more surgeons are luring patients by giving them attractive packages. 

One has to be really cautious before getting such a surgery done. Many times, pre-operative imaging of the breast (ultrasound or mammogram) is not done and lesions like cancer are missed.

I have come across three such patients in the last 6 months. Patients feels devastated after such a diagnosis and management also becomes tricky.

Therefore, before going for a cosmetic breast procedure, always get pre-operative imaging done and consult a trained breast surgeon.
