If you are not comfortable with how your breasts look and would like to increase their projection and fullness, then breast augmentation may be for you. The same will apply if you are interested in bringing some balance to your current figure or would like to enhance your self-confidence and self-image. Additionally, ladies who have gone through an injury to their breast or a mastectomy may also find breast augmentation a great solution.
Breast augmentation surgery is a medical procedure involving breast implants or the transfer of fat in order to restore the volume of the breast or increase its size. Many times after pregnancy or weight loss, breasts lose their fullness and can become an eye sore and a cause for loss of self-esteem.
It is important to note that there are some things that this procedure cannot do.
- If your breasts have drooped severely, it may not help much.
- If your breasts are sagging, you may need to have a breast lift as well if the augmentation is to be successful.
You can have both the augmentation and the lift done during the same surgery, but on occasion your doctor may suggest that they be done as two separate surgeries. You will need to listen to your doctor when it comes to making that decision.
Considerations
A breast enlargement should be considered a major decision. It is costly, there are no guarantees on the results and you need to weigh the pros and cons before going ahead with the surgery. That said, this is a very popular surgery and the track record for success has been good.
