We, women, are incredibly aware of the appearance of our breasts—maybe even more than men are. Breasts are sexual and sensual, a big part of what makes us women; and they can dictate our sense of attractiveness and desirability.
Beautiful breasts needn’t be just the privilege of youth. Today, many procedures that alter the appearance of the breast are available. You can do most of these procedures as an outpatient, under twilight anesthesia.
