Common Reasons for Breast Augmentation Surgery
Worldwide, breast augmentation is the most common surgical procedure performed by plastic surgeons. You may be considering breast augmentation but still feel a little uncertain about doing something like plastic surgery. Of course, each person has their own personal reasons for getting breast augmentation surgery, but you may feel that your reasons are silly or not valid. Let’s put your mind at ease with a discussion of the most common reasons for breast augmentation surgery.
Self-Confidence
Having breasts that are small in proportion to the rest of your body is a prime reason for wanting breast surgery. If you feel that your cup size is too small, that might carry over into feeling inadequate in other ways. Having breasts that proportionally match the rest of your body can help boost self-confidence and self-esteem, leaving you ready to live lift to the fullest.
Some women also may feel that they need larger breasts to feel sexy. This should be a personal choice, not a decision made to please another person. If you feel that you would be more attractive with larger breasts, we can discuss the benefits of implants with you during a consultation.
Problems With Clothing
Another issue that women with proportionally small breasts can face is difficulty with how clothes fit. Women’s clothing is made to accommodate approximately a C-cup size bust. A small bust will not fill out clothing properly, but breast implants can give you that little extra help so your clothing will fit better.
Breast asymmetry can also be a problem for some women. If you really look closely at your breasts, you will realize that they are not identical, but usually the differences are minor. For some women, one breast will be significantly larger than the other. This creates many problems, from difficulty fitting into clothing properly to feeling embarrassed when undressed. An augmentation can help equalize the size of your breasts.
Deflation and Weight Loss
As you age, breast tissue changes, and pregnancies and breastfeeding can take a heavy toll. Breasts can end up looking deflated and droopy, but an augmentation (as well as a breast lift) can assist with restoring a more youthful contour.
Another time when you might notice droopy, deflated breasts is after significant weight loss. You may wish to celebrate your weight loss success by restoring a little of the breast tissue you lost.
After a Mastectomy
Women who have had breast cancer, and whose treatment included a mastectomy or bilateral mastectomy, routinely want to look and feel like they did before the diagnosis. Breast reconstruction with breast augmentation can help immensely, both physically and emotionally. Breasts play an important part in your body image, so do not downplay the importance of having breast reconstruction after mastectomy.
No Matter the Reason for Your Breast Enhancement, Call Us to Discuss Your Plans
