Hello! I'm your webmaster, Sarah. Between 2006-2007, I chose to undergo a few procedures (lip augmentation, breast augmentation, and rhinoplasty). During this time, I created MyBreastAug.com and PlasticSurgeryEtc.com, which are part of the Implant Intel network of information resource sites, to bring others the same unbiased information I was seeking while researching my own surgeries.

In doing so, I hope to help those considering breast implants to weigh the facts and prepare for the road ahead, while shedding some light on common areas
of concern or confusion.

Read My Blog or Start Your Own at Implant Intel.com!

My personal blog is moving to the network hub at ImplantIntel.com. This blog will serve as a broad platform to discuss all areas of cosmetic enhancement and plastic surgery, offer reviews of various products and gizmos, as well as yammer about the ins and outs of my daily life.

The site is currently under construction, while developing and fine-tuning the available features (forums, user blogs, personal profiles, and "books"), but please feel free to join and start your own blog.

MyBreastAugBlog.com is Underway

For those of you who would like to start a blog related specifically to breast augmentation and breast implants, we have recently purchased a new addition to the Implant Intel network, MyBreastAugBlog.com. I think this will be a great opportunity to create a fun and fresh content-oriented blogging community that will not only provide a unique service to members, but also provide a wonderful service to readers. Real-time documentation of a personal journey into breast augmentation is an excellent way to prepare fellow sisters for their own upcoming surgeries.

I would like to see MyBreastAugBlog.com become the first and best user-created resource on the subject of breast augmentation. Whether your experience with breast implants has been a positive or negative one, your blog is invaluable to others interested in breast augmentation. By promoting awareness, you can help ensure that other women enjoy the same benefits, or avoid the same consequences, you have experienced with breast implants.

MyBreastAugBlog.com will be launched within the coming weeks, so keep your eyes peeled!
What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, clinically referred to as augmentation mammaplasty, is surgical enlargement of the breasts with breast implants.

The psychological and physical benefits of breast augmentation include bringing balance to the physical proportions, improved self-esteem, and increased confidence. On average patients report a high satisfaction rate with the results of their surgery.

What is the Importance of Finding a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?

 In order to become board certified in an area of specialty, surgeons are required to complete years of rigorous training in their area of expertise. Only when they have met strict published standards does a "specialty" board grant them certification. This focused education helps to ensure that their patients will have the best odds of achieving successful surgical results. More..

Could I Have a Ruptured Breast Implant?
Rupture or deflation occurs when the implant contents leak through a faulty valve, seep from a damaged seal, or when the shell cracks, splits, or otherwise breaks. Depending on the type of breast implant, signs of rupture may be immediately obvious or completely unnoticeable. More...

Silicone Implants at a Glance

Patients may opt for silicone primarily because silicone gel implants closely mimic the soft feel of natural breast tissue.

Silicone implants tend to show less rippling or wrinkling. In patients with thin skin or little breast tissue, this is a distinct advantage over saline implants.

There are disadvantages, however, to silicone. Because all silicone breast implants come prefilled by the manufacturer, a longer incision is required to accommodate the implant, compared to saline implants which are typically filled (inflated) once they have been placed within the breast. This means that resulting scars may be larger, as well. More...

What to Expect at the Consultation

Ideally, a breast augmentation consultation is a comfortable exchange of ideas and understanding between the surgeon and potential patient. Usually, a visual exam of the patient's existing breast tissue is performed to determine what can be accomplished surgically.


Most doctors provide what are known as 'sizers.' These are "trial" breast implants used to help the patient visualize her ideal degree of augmentation. After you and your surgeon have reached a mutual level of understanding, you will most likely be left alone to try on sizers of varying volumes.

For more insight into the consultation process, or to print a list of frequently asked and recommended questions for your doctor, please visit our consultation section.
