If You're Considering Breast Augmentation...
Breast augmentation, technically known as
augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the
size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons:
-
To enhance the body contour of a woman who,
for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small.
-
To restore breast volume lost due to weight
loss or following pregnancy
-
To achieve better symmetry when breasts are
moderately disproportionate in size and shape
-
To improve the shape of breasts that are
sagging or have lost firmness, often used with a breast lift
procedure
-
To provide the foundation of a breast
contour when a breast has been removed or disfigured by
surgery to treat breast cancer
-
To improve breast appearance or create the
appearance of a breast that is missing or disfigured due to
trauma, heredity, or congenital abnormalities
By inserting an implant behind each breast,
surgeons are able to increase a woman's bustline by one or more
bra cup sizes. If you're considering breast augmentation, this
will give you a basic understanding of the procedure—when it can
help, how it's performed, and what results you can expect. It
can't answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your
individual circumstances. Please ask your surgeon if there is
anything you don't understand about the procedure.
The
Best Candidates For Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can enhance your
appearance and your self-confidence, but it won't necessarily
change your looks to match your ideal, or cause other people to
treat you differently. Before you decide to have surgery, think
carefully about your expectations and discuss them with your
surgeon.
The best candidates for breast augmentation
are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in
the way they look. If you're physically healthy and realistic in
your expectations, you may be a good candidate.
