If you’ve ever seen the television show “Botched” then you know that things can, in fact, go wrong during plastic surgery, particularly if you’ve chosen the wrong doctor. Though breast augmentation is the most performed cosmetic procedure, the rising popularity in Michigan and beyond has given way for inexperienced or unskilled surgeons to jump on the bandwagon to take advantage of this demand. It’s no surprise, then, that a recent study indicates that the number of women who have experienced a ruptured breast implant has increased over 500 percent in just three years. That’s an incredibly large number.
What Matters To You?
These numbers reinforce the fact that trying cutting costs is not always the solution to achieving a well-performed breast augmentation. Not to mention it can have severe consequences. While shopping around for a plastic surgeon is understandable and recommended, here are some factors to consider that go well beyond price:
- Is the surgeon board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? Mariam Awada, MD, FACS is!
- How many breast augmentations has he/she performed and often? She has performed hundreds of breast augmentations. See her work
- Has the doctor has any malpractice judgments against him/her? Mariam Awada, MD, FACS has been ranked as Michigan’s top female plastic surgeon.
- Do you feel like you’re being “sold” on additional services that you weren’t considering? (This is a red flag.) Come in for a free consultation.
- Do you feel your surgeon listens to and understands you and has presented you with a realistic outcome? Dr. Mariam is known for her caring and compassionate bedside manner.
- Are you comfortable with the office staff and surroundings? We are an all female staff ready to listen to your specific needs and goals.
When consulting with a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation, be sure to come prepared with a list of any and all questions you’d like to get answered. Being as well-informed as possible is key to any cosmetic surgery.

If you are like the majority of women who look in the mirror and wish they could make improvements to their bodies, there is good news. You can! Plastic surgery — not just here Michigan, but across the country — is becoming more and more commonplace. And breast augmentation is one of the leading procedures that women are opting to have. In fact, the number of breast augmentations performed in the U.S. has grown from about 101,000 in 1997 to well over 300,000 in 2011.
Why Not You?
Years ago, breast augmentation was thought to only be afforded by Hollywood’s elite. Though many well-known celebrities still opt for breast augmentation surgery today — including Kate Hudson and Nicole Richie in recent years — everyday women, including mothers, professionals and young women alike, have also realized that they, too, can afford (and deserve!) the breasts they’ve always desired. In today’s day an age, undergoing breast augmentation surgery is quite realistic with a plethora of financing options available. Just as you’d invest in the car or house of your dreams, or even expensive facial treatments like Botox or laser resurfacing, a breast augmentation is also a worthwhile investment in yourself. And with medical advancements happening every day, women in southeast Michigan (and everywhere, for that matter!) are realizing that breast augmentation is the right decision for them.
