What you should know about breast augmentation

The breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic surgeries around the world. Like any surgical intervention, its performance involves certain risks and requires dedication for optimal postoperative recovery. To ensure a safe procedure, it is essential to trust properly trained professionals. But it is equally important for the patient to prepare physically and mentally to go through the entire Mammaplasty process. In this article, we review what you should know about breast augmentation before doing it.

What is breast augmentation?

Augmentation Mammaplasty consists of a surgery carried out with the purpose of increasing the size of the breasts. To do this, implants are incorporated under the breast tissue or the chest muscles. These implants are covered by a flexible silicone outer covering and may contain a saline solution or a silicone gel.

This procedure must be performed by a plastic surgeon, after previous consultations for orientation and planning with the patient.

MOST USED MATERIALS FOR CHEST IMPLANTS

Among the most used materials for this type of operation are silicone prostheses and serum prostheses that have different characteristics:

Silicone prosthesis: They are the most used. Silicone prosthesis is composed of three layers of polyurethane and its filling can be of two types:

Cohesive gel: it is characterized by a greater bond between the molecules of the gel, which gives it greater density. In the unlikely event of a prosthesis rupture, the gel, being more consistent, does not migrate to other parts of the body.

Soft gel: The shape of this type of prosthesis changes depending on the movements and pressure that are made on the breast. In the event that the prosthesis breaks, the gel will come out of the capsule, spreading through the breast tissue. So it is not entirely recommended.

Serum prosthesis: The content of this type of prosthesis is compatible with the body, so in case of breakage of the material or leakage of the capsule, it could be reabsorbed by the body itself. Despite this, we also find some disadvantages such as the loss of volume of the breast over time or the undulation of the upper part of it.

What is augmentation Mammaplasty for?

This surgery is usually related to aesthetic purposes and it is important not to stigmatize its purposes and benefits. Most of the women who opt for Mammaplasty do so because they feel unhappy with their appearance. Some for having naturally small breast, others to correct differences in size or to reverse a reduction after pregnancy.

However, Mammaplasty can also be part of a breast reconstruction process, which is necessary after going through certain diseases (breast cancer, for example). In any case, breast augmentation allows many women to strengthen their self-esteem and confidence. And this translates into a positive impact not only on a physical level, but fundamentally on an emotional and social level.

What are the risks of breast augmentation surgery?

All surgery involves a degree of risk and, therefore, it is essential to have the support of trained professionals. But augmentation Mammaplasty can also lead to certain complications after surgery, such as:

Sensitivity changes in the breasts, especially in the nipples.
Pain in the breasts, mainly during the postoperative period.
Infections (postoperative care is essential to prevent them).
Development of systemic symptoms described in the so-called breast implant disease.
Distortion of the shape of the implant mainly associated with a contraction produced by the healing of the tissue.
Loss or patella of the implant.

We know that breast augmentation surgery has its risks and complications, however, they are temporary and scarce, and so we should not fear undergoing the operation. Being an optional surgical treatment, we have the last word in our hand.

Google Page Layout Algorithm?

Have you ever faced a situation where you searched for something and came to a page with only advertisements? Have you ever visited a site that has only Google AdSense and other advertisements that cover up the content of the page? On such pages, even if there is content, you will have to scroll down to see it.

Most of the websites, from a very long time, have been dependent on advertisements to earn revenue. There is nothing wrong in depending on advertisements to earn an income. Even offline publications do it. However, these publications will only have advertisements on 15 – 20% of their pages. Websites on the other hand can at times go overboard with the number of advertisements that they put on their pages. As the result, the content of these pages can get overshadowed. That is why, Google introduced Google Page Layout Algorithm to reward sites that promoted good content and penalize sites that contain only advertisements in the first fold of the pages.

What is Google Page Layout Algorithm?

Google announced the page layout algorithm first in January 2012. This algorithm was mainly developed on the basis of searchers. It can become irritating to users if sites have only advertisements in the first half of their pages. This can lead to very bad user experience. The first version of this algorithm was meant to penalize such sites and bring them down in the search rankings. Instead, sites that gave importance to quality content would be pushed up in the rankings.

There are two main parts to the Google page layout algorithm:

Advertisements in the first fold of the page: The website will get penalized if the first half of the page has only advertisements and very little or no content at all.

Lack of content in the first half of the page: It is not enough if the site does not have advertisements in the first fold of a page. Sometimes the page may have a large Flash animation or any other non content element. Even this can become a factor to penalize the site.

However, this does not mean that you should not have any visual elements on your site at all. Your website can have a masthead, visuals or even animations at the top of the web page. This will also help you improve the visual appeal of the site. The problem will only arise when the visual element is a large part of the page and pushes the content to the second half of the page where the visitor needs to scroll down to access it. Such a scenario will be considered to cause bad user experience and hence the site will be penalized.

Affect of the Google page layout algorithm

The Google page layout update may not make too much of a difference to your site if your business has a strong brand recall or if most of your traffic is generated from paid advertising campaigns and email marketing. However, if you heavily depend on organic traffic from generic keyword searches, then you will be competing with millions of other sites for a place in the top ranks of Google. In such a situation, if you get penalized for not having good content on your site, then the site can go down in search results. This will have a negative impact on the traffic to your site. That is why it is important that you create quality content for your site and keep updating it from time to time.

It may not be an easy task to plan the content of your site keeping in mind the latest update by Google. In order to make sure that your site is not affected by the update, you need to constantly update it with good quality content. It may be helpful if you can hire a company that can help you with this task. It can further be helpful if your web design company also understands search engine optimization. One way to do this is to find a company that offers internet marketing services. Having one company deal with all these things will reduce the pressure of dealing with different agencies and coordinating with them for different tasks and will also help you concentrate on other things in your business that might require your attention.
