Make an Informed Decision Before you Choose Breast Augmentation

    WASHINGTON, DC, July 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance small or underdeveloped breasts and will permanently alter your appearance. It is important to educate yourself as much as possible prior to your initial consultation.

You will most likely gather a great deal of information from attending an initial consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. However, if you had the opportunity to do some homework before this consultation, it would make the conversation much more productive and informative.

The Natrelle Pre-Consultation Kit

Natrelle has just released a pre-consultation kit to provide women who are interested in breast augmentation with an educational tool to help them in their decision-making process. The Natrelle Pre-Consultation Kit comes with the following materials:

• 4 trial implants of varying sizes (275 cc, 325 cc, 375 cc, 425 cc)
• Profile bra for trying on implants
• Educational DVD
• Educational booklet
• Rebates on other Allergan products

The Natrelle Pre-Consultation Kit offers you two ways to educate yourself before your initial consultation. The booklet and DVD will provide you with detailed explanations of the entire breast augmentation process and walk you through an actual consultation. Going through this material will help you evaluate issues such as:

• Saline vs. silicone implants
• Incision location
• Implant size

In order to help you gain a better grasp on how your new implants will look and feel, the pre-consultation kit also comes with trial implants to give you a more tangible way to evaluate the look and feel of you new implants. This way, you will be able to narrow down your ideal choices before talking to a plastic surgeon. For example, if you find that the large sample implants are too heavy, you may want to discuss smaller implant size options at your consultation.

Benefits Beyond Information Gathering

For many women, the decision to undergo breast augmentation is very personal and private. The Natrelle Pre-Consultation Kit provides women with a way to gain the important knowledge needed to evaluate this procedure in the privacy of their own home. This way, you will feel more comfortable when you talk about your aesthetic goals at your initial consultation.

Furthermore, by taking the step to educate yourself at the onset of the process, you will also save money in the long run. Allergan, the maker of Natrelle products, offers the following rebates with your purchase of the pre-consultation kit:

• $50 for Natrelle implants
• $50 for BOTOX
• $50 for Juvederm
• $20 for Lastisse

The rebate for Natrelle implants more than covers the cost of your pre-consultation kit, so even if you do not want to use the other rebates, you will still be coming out ahead.
