Breast augmentation, or increasing breast size through the use of breast implants, is a surgical procedure designed to increase the size and enhance the shape of a woman's breasts. There are many reasons women seek breast augmentation:
you feel insecure about the size of your breasts and wish they were larger
clothes that fit snugly around your hips and waist are often loose at the bustline
you feel self-conscious wearing a form fitting top or bathing suit
one of your breasts is noticeably smaller than the other
your breasts have lost their shape and firmness after having children
weight loss has changed the size and shape of your breasts
If you identify with one or more of the above statement, you may be a good candidate for breast augmentation.
However, you might not be a good candidate for breast implants if you:
are a teenager
are being pressured by others to breast augmentation
are in poor physical health
have unrealistic expectations about what breast implants will do
Many women who have undergone breast augmentation describe getting breast implants as a decision that profoundly and beneficially affected their self-esteem, physical appearance, and social life. If you have decided that you want breast augmentation or have more questions, schedule a consultation with your doctor. The decision to get breast implants is very personal, and it's one that only you and your doctor can make.
