What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure performed to enlarge the breasts and to potentially improve the shape of the breasts.
Why have breast augmentation?
Common reasons to perform breast augmentation include:
-
For enhancement of body contour in women who feel that the breast size is too small.
-
To correct the loss in breast volume and restore a better shape to the breasts after pregnancy.
-
To balance asymmetrical breast size, when there is a significant difference between the breasts.
-
Replacement or exchange of breast implants for cosmetic reasons.
-
As a reconstructive procedure for various breast conditions.
Three major groups of women consider augmentation:
-
Women who had little to no breast development
-
Women who lost their breast size and shape after child birth
-
Women who want to improve their breast for other personal reasons, such as, asymmetry and difficulty in finding clothes that fit well
