ATLANTA, GA, November 08, 2012 (Press-News.org) Before your initial breast augmentation consultation, you may want to give yourself an idea of how large you would like your breasts to be after surgery. An easy way to determine this is through visualization techniques performed at home.
One of the simplest visualization techniques is called the "rice test." To perform this test, take a plastic baggie or nylon stocking and fill it with a small amount of rice. Place the rice underneath your bra and see what it looks like underneath your clothing. Adjust the amount of rice in increments of 1/4 cup until you have found the size you like best. Record this number and bring it to your consultation.
You can also visit a number of websites that allow you to upload a photo and plan breast implant sizes through computer modeling. However, it is important to remember that computer imaging is a tool, not a guarantee of results.
Working with a Plastic Surgeon
When you choose a breast surgeon, make sure you are working with someone who is both experienced and board-certified*. Your plastic surgeon may very well offer breast implant sizers that you can take home or try in the office. These will provide a more accurate measurement than rice and give you a physical image as opposed to one on a computer screen.
Coming to your consultation with pictures of breasts you find attractive can give your plastic surgeon a good idea of what you hope to achieve, allowing him to provide you with a selection of sizers within the range of your goals. Your breast surgeon can discuss more visualization options during your initial consultation.
If you live in or around Atlanta, Georgia and are considering breast augmentation, please visit the website of Marietta Plastic Surgery to learn more about all of your options at http://mariettaplasticsurgery.com.

2012-11-08

There are a number of reasons you may wish to remove and replace old breast implants. You may wish to replace breast implants for personal reasons such as a desire to switch from a saline to a silicone implant, change the size or shape of an implant, ...

2012-11-08
For many, one of the most exciting things about becoming a new parent is buying all of the clothes, toys and furniture they need to keep their babies safe and happy.

Study Shows Too Many Homeowners Paying Excessive Mortgage Interest Rates
2012-11-08

Information from a recent study of mortgage interest rates paid by American homeowners provides crucial insight into one reason behind this problem. According to data compiled and assessed by real estate market analysts at CoreLogic, more than two-thirds of homeowners are paying more than five ...
Trial in New York Bus Crash Case Highlights Victims' Rights
2012-11-08
New Yorkers are used to relying on different forms of alternative transportation. For trips close to home, they take the subway, a taxi or a city bus. For longer trips outside of the city, many choose trains or commercial bus services.
Unfortunately, those bus rides are not always as safe as they should be. Over the last several years, a string of high-profile bus accidents have resulted in catastrophic injuries and deaths in New York and all along the Eastern Seaboard.
Take, for example, a March 2011 crash on Interstate 95 in the Bronx that killed 15 bus passengers ...
Texting While Driving a Major Problem for Minnesota Teens
2012-11-08
Anybody who knows a teenager is acutely aware of the complex relationship between teens and their cellphones. The phone, it seems, is a constant presence -- popping up during family dinners, study time, church services and all sorts of other inappropriate moments. Most of the time, the worst consequence of teenagers' phone addictions is momentary rudeness. However, when teens bring out their cellphones behind the wheel, the results can be deadly.
Auto accidents are the number one cause of death for teenagers in the United States. A lot of the risk comes from the fact ...
Quickly Documenting Evidence After an Accident Can Help Prove Fault
2012-11-08
After a motor vehicle accident, particularly when people have sustained injuries or there is extensive property damage, many people understandably do not consider the importance of preserving the evidence of the accident. Nevertheless, information documented and gathered shortly after the accident can aid accident investigators in recreating the scene and attorneys in establishing a strong case for the injured party.
Different types of evidence can be helpful following a car, truck or motorcycle accident, much of which can be easily destroyed over time. For instance, ...
When Can a Missouri Parent Seek to Modify a Child Custody Order?
2012-11-08
As children age and their school, extracurricular and other interests demand more of their time, child support orders may become out of date. In other cases, one parent may struggle to provide proper care of the children because of addiction or mental health issues. Sometimes it is possible for parents to seek modifications of their child custody orders to reflect the changed circumstances and the best interests of the child.
While it is possible to come to an informal agreement with a former spouse, filing a motion to modify a custody order ensures that the best interests ...
New Medical Examiner Standards for Commercial Drivers
2012-11-08
Across Illinois and the rest of the nation, interstate bus and truck drivers face challenges far above and beyond those of ordinary motorists. Operating these big vehicles is taxing work, and safe driving requires being in good physical condition.

2012-11-08
In order to ensure that commercial truck drivers are safe on the roads, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) recently implemented a rule that will require doctors who conduct medical examinations on truckers to obtain a special certification.
