The Serious Matter of Breast Augmentation

There are several different reasons why women, and sometimes men and transgender people consider surgery to receive breast implants. While breast implants do have some very beneficial rewards and aspects to them there are possible cons that must be seriously evaluated before making the decision to receive breast augmentation. This type of surgery is nothing to be taken lightly.

Some women just feel the need to have bigger or differently shaped breasts. This may be due to the industry they work in, such as film. It may also just be to change a part of their body they are very insecure about. There is also a desire in some women simply to have larger breasts in attracting more people to them. Possible a romantic partner or on occasion, in hopes of being hired for a job they truly desire. Sometimes a woman may need plastic surgery as a matter of reconstruction. Some women lose part of or all of a breast due to breast cancer. A man or transgender male may desire breast augmentation because they are not happy identifying their self as a man and would like to be as feminine as possible.

While these reasons would be looked at as a positive to a person who is considering breast augmentation, several possible negatives must be considered. The first negative to be considered is that a person needs to have surgery. Surgery is always a risk to your health as something may go wrong, even death. Is surgery for something that is not medically necessary really a risk to your health? Another concern would be the price of the surgery and the implants. Breast augmentation surgery is considered plastic surgery, and it never comes cheaply. If it did come cheaply, you would probably be concerned as to why it is so cheap. Another possible negative that may be the most overlooked is judgment by others when you do receive breast implants. For the most part, receiving breast implants is often done in hopes that others will judge you in a more positive light. What may not be realized is many people think of others who receive breast implants to be superficial and fake. Receiving breast implants may actually result in lost respect or a negative image of your self to other people.

If you are considering receiving breast implants please take all of these possible positives as well as negatives to mind. It may be the best decision you ever made or it may have disastrous consequences. If you do decide to proceed and get breast implants be sure to research surgeons before going through with the surgery!
