Women have been attempting to enhance their breasts for a very long time. Not too long ago, the methods used for breast enhancement were somewhat barbaric and often led to disastrous consequences. Did you know that wax and Ox cartilage used to be injected into women's breasts as a means to enlarge or reshape them? Scary thought, isn't it? As you can probably imagine, those methods didn't achieve the desired result.
In the 1960's, the silicone breast implant device made its debut in the plastic surgery industry. Since then, it's undergone major design and structural changes. And despite its fourteen year ban by the FDA, the implant has withstood the test of time and is still available for women who want them. Silicone gel implants are used in breast augmentation procedures, which are the most popular plastic surgery procedure for a reason: women all over the world want larger, fuller breasts, and they're willing to pay a handsome price to get them.
If you're an American woman and you want breast implants, you currently have two choices: silicone implants and saline implants. Both implants have their own unique characteristics - some good, some bad. There is a third type of implant called the cohesive gel implant, but it's not currently approved by the FDA for unrestricted use and it could be many years before it becomes available to the general public. If you're considering breast augmentation surgery, you'll want to learn more about the silicone gel implant and the saline implant. Call your local plastic surgeon and request an initial consultation. Try to find a plastic surgeon that specializes in breast augmentation.
When it comes to physical beauty, youth trumps everything, which is why both men and women do their best to hang onto their youth for as long as possible. While men age rather slowly (and are generally admired for their more 'mature' appearance), women simply get older. That's a fact that's not going to change anytime soon, which is why more and more women turn to aesthetic surgical enhancement after they enter their thirties. One of the chief signs of aging for women is breast sag and droop (which can also occur regardless of age after extreme weight loss, such as women experience after pregnancy and child birth).
There is a solution for breast sag and droop. It's called a breast lift. The procedure is designed to reshape a woman's breast and to lift it to a more youthful position on the chest. While the effects of the surgery are permanent in nature, a woman's breasts are still subject to the effects of aging and gravity once again. To learn more about the breast lift procedure and whether or not it might be a viable solution for your needs, you will need to meet with a licensed, practicing plastic surgeon. Try to find a surgeon that specializes in breast lift procedures. Most surgeons offer free consultations for new clients.
Not all women want to enlarge their breasts - a minority group of women are quite eager to dramatically reduce their breast size. Gigantic breasts on a woman might be visually attractive to some people, but those people don't take into consideration the pain and suffering those women go through on a daily basis. Imagine this: how easy would it be to go through everyday life with a fifty pound weight hanging off your neck?
Abnormally large breasts cause chronic neck and back pain for the women that have them. As an added bonus, there is emotional distress; most people (women included) unfairly stereotype women with large breasts and treat them differently than they would any other person. The solution for jumbo breasts: breast reduction surgery. The procedure will dramatically reduce a woman's breast size by removing excess fat and glandular tissue. If you think this procedure might be ideal for you, schedule an initial consultation with a local plastic surgeon to learn more.
