when is the right time for breast augmentation loan

With the ability to address asymmetry, enhance breast size or restore the appearance of the breasts after illness or trauma, a breast augmentation is a commonly desired procedure across Australia.

The right time to undergo the procedure can depend on a variety of personal factors, and can sometimes come at a time where you may need some financial assistance.

Since the costs of a breast augmentation can be quite high, some patients may decide to apply for a breast augmentation loan to undergo the procedure at the right time in their lives.

Standing for Total Lifestyle Credit, TLC can provide a personalised payment plan, supporting you with a stress-free solution to surgery costs. Read on to find out more about how our loans work and what to consider before undergoing a breast augmentation procedure.

What a breast augmentation can achieve

A breast augmentation can have many benefits for patients who seek the procedure for a variety of reasons. Some patients may wish to achieve symmetry, enhance the size of their breasts or restore the appearance of their breasts after trauma or illness.

Breast augmentations can:

Enhance breast size
Improve the shape of the breasts
Create symmetry
Restore the appearance of nipples or breast shape after injury
Make desired aesthetic improvements tailored to your personal needs

When achieving your personal goals for the procedure, a breast augmentation can boost your confidence, increase the level of comfort in your own skin and even improve physical comfort, such as by making wearing clothes more comfortable.

Is it the right time to undergo a breast augmentation?

Ultimately, the decision to have a breast augmentation is highly personal and the right time will depend on your certainly in undergoing the procedure and if you feel ready.

The initial healing and recovery time after the procedure can last for about four to six weeks, which can prompt some factors to consider when deciding if it’s the right time for surgery. These factors may include:

If you are planning to have a child within the next year after the procedure
Any important events scheduled too soon after the date of your procedure that you may not be able to enjoy while still recovering
The current season – some patients prefer to undergo the procedure in winter as you will need to avoid excessive sun and heat exposure during your recovery
If you have any sporting events scheduled, as you will need to avoid strenuous exercise during recovery
If you can take time off work to undergo the procedure and recover at home
If you have the time and resources to be able to recover from the procedure

Generally, you should be able to discuss your readiness to undergo the procedure with a surgeon at your preferred clinic. Your surgeon may be able to provide you with expert advice on when to undergo the procedure, that considers your personal lifestyle factors.

The costs of a breast augmentation: Why apply for a loan?

As an invasive surgery that requires a high level of skill and experience to be performed effectively, a breast augmentation should be performed by a knowledgeable and experienced surgeon. When it comes to surgery, opting for the cheapest option should not be your goal, and instead you will want to focus on achieving great results and minimising potential risks and complications.

Generally, the total costs of a breast augmentation will be influenced by a number of factors. The fees associated with a cosmetic procedure can depend on:

The experience and qualification level of the surgeon
Your personal factors such as the condition of your breasts and any health conditions to take into consideration
Consultation fees
Anaesthesia fees
Hospital fees
Your desired results

Sometimes, the fees can be higher than what many patients can afford straight away. However, we believe that costs should not hold you back from undergoing a potentially life changing, confidence boosting procedure – we’re here to help!
