The Most Common Reasons for Getting Breast Implants

Breast implants offer the opportunity for women to change how their breasts look. There are many reasons that women opt for breast augmentation. We explore some of the more common reasons that this surgery is chosen.

Enhance Shape and Size

Even though normal breast development may have occurred, many women want rounder and fuller-looking breasts. It’s possible to achieve this look in a way that’s both subtle and natural; this involves choosing the right size of implant for your body type. The right surgeon will possess the knowledge necessary to help you determine breast implant cost and ensure your implants are your desired size.

Achieve Symmetry

Sometimes, breast development occurs unevenly or asymmetrically. This is another common reason that breast implants are chosen. When the breasts are noticeably different in shape, size, or both, these implants can restore symmetry.

Restore Size and Position Following Weight Loss

Often, the position or size of the breasts can change noticeably after experiencing significant weight loss. A woman’s breasts may become smaller or sag more after pregnancy and breastfeeding. Where this is the case, breast implant surgery may be accompanied by surgery to lift the breasts by removing excess tissue to tighten the skin.

As well, other procedures may be performed that concentrate on other areas of the body where an improved look is desired. Known as a mommy makeover, the procedure can improve the look of the breasts as well as reduce unwanted fat via liposuction, a tummy tuck, and similar procedures. Women can achieve comprehensive results through surgery that occurs at the same time. Additionally, this also reduces the overall recovery time that’s required.

Reconstruction Following Mastectomy

Many women who have undergone a mastectomy seek plastic surgery to enhance or reconstruct the breasts. Following the procedure, a woman can enjoy a restoration of her body to its previous look and feel, which can significantly impact not only body image but her quality of life and self-esteem.

It’s important to note that because breast reconstruction surgery requires specialized skill and experience, taking one’s time to ensure you choose the right cosmetic surgeon with all of the necessary credentials should be a top priority.

To Have a Better Fit

For women whose breast shape and size make it a challenge to find the proper-fitting clothing, breast augmentation before and after results can correct this problem. Following surgery, a woman can be more comfortable in her clothing and also experience improved body image and eliminate self-consciousness. The surgery can also help accentuate your existing curves for even more positive results.
