Breast Enlargement and Augementation

Breast augmentation is the most popular cosmetic procedure requested by women. It involves an operation where artificial means are used to increase the size and/ or improve the shape of the breasts. Estimates suggest that over 3 million women world-wide have had breast implants in the last 35 years, and each year tens of thousands of women continue to have breast augmentation surgery. Many women consider having breast augmentation to improve their size or shape because they think the breasts are too small, uneven in size or shape, or unattractive. Some women have breasts that do not fully develop or have significantly changed in size or shape after pregnancy, weight change or ageing.

The decision to undergo breast augmentation should be a personal one and not to please someone else. As with any cosmetic procedure, breast augmentation will not resolve any of life's major problems, but may help to boost a patient's own body image and self-esteem. All the potential benefits will be discussed and assessed at the time of your consultation.

These days the woman wishing to have a breast augmentation has a number of options and choices open to her. These should allow her to achieve the appearance and result that she wants. Some of these choices and options are: implant type, size, placement as well as incision. Obviously there are pros and cons to each choice and option, however, providing a woman has been informed accordingly, then ultimately she can decide which is best for her.
