Advantages of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation can enhance appearance and boost self-confidence, but it won't necessarily change one's looks to match an "ideal" image. Before a woman decides to have surgery, she should think carefully about her expectations as well as possible outcomes, and discuss them with her surgeon. The best candidates for breast augmentation are women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look. If a woman is physically healthy and realistic in her expectations, she may be a good candidate for this surgery. It is important to discuss your individual expectations regarding the change you seek in the shape and size of your breast with your doctor who will be able to consider the optimal surgical approach to satisfy your desired outcome. Breast augmentation may be a good option for you if you have at least one the following conditions or traits:

  • You consider your breasts to be too small or under-developed
  • You believe your figure is out of proportion due to small breasts and in turn, make your hips appear wider
  • You feel you have limited choices of flattering clothing or swim wear styles due to small breasts
  • You are dissatisfied with your breasts losing shape and volume after pregnancy, weight loss, or with aging
  • You are unhappy with the upper part of the breast appearing "empty"
  • Your breasts have asymmetry or vary in size or shape from one another
  • You currently have breast implants, and are experiencing problems with them
  • One or both breasts failed to develop normally, or have an unnatural, elongated shape
