Why Choose Breast Augmentation?

One of the most important factors in how a woman feels about herself is her body, and while diet and exercise can improve the appearance of some body parts, it has little impact on breast size and shape. Breast augmentation surgery can improve the appearance of a woman’s bust, providing her with a number of benefits to her self-image and her lifestyle.

Obviously, having this type of surgery can increase the size of your breasts; however, there are additional benefits, such as giving them a more aesthetically pleasing appearance. For example, for a woman who feels that her breasts appear hollow when viewed from the top, the addition of breast implants might help them to look fuller, while a woman with slightly uneven cleavage would benefit from augmentation surgery by having her breasts made more symmetrical. The procedure can also benefit women with exceedingly small breasts by giving their bodies a more proportionate, curvy and feminine shape, and the addition of implants can correct a variety of congenital breast malformations.

The result of a successful breast augmentation is often a woman who feels better about herself physically, and this can translate into increased confidence at work, in social affairs and in intimate relationships. Also, recent research has found that when a woman feels confident about herself and her appearance, she is significantly more likely to recognize and take advantage of more opportunities than women who have a poor self-image.

A second benefit to breast augmentation is that it opens up a wider range of wardrobe options than were previously available for many women, and provides an opportunity to revisit items already in the closet at home. Clothing for a variety of events and situations, including cocktail parties, business meetings, a casual weekend away and of course, swimsuit season, are now being designed to accentuate a woman’s bust line, and these items and many others can fit better and look more flattering following the surgery, as the woman’s body now conforms to the ideals set by the designers.

The increase in clothing options could result in a woman both looking and feeling younger than her years, and taking more pride and pleasure in her appearance and activities she once enjoyed, such as shopping or going to the beach.

Two select groups of women in particular who might find advantages in having their breasts surgically augmented are women who are hoping to have a child or already have children, and those who have suffered from breast cancer. For a mom-to-be, the advantage of adding slight breast implants is that it would increase the volume of her breasts, which might be beneficial for breast-feeding later on. So long as the milk ducts are not cut or blocked, implants are not an impediment to nursing a child. Women who already have had children may view the procedure as a way to regain their previous level of firmness. For those who have had to have part or all of a breast removed during a mastectomy, breast augmentation surgery provides the opportunity to regain the lost appendage.
