Is Breast Surgery Right For You?

An important part of feeling good and having a positive view of your appearance is body image. Many women have a cultural idea of beauty to which they compare themselves. A great way for many women to improve their self-esteem is by having a cosmetic breast procedure. It can greatly improve the way they see themselves and make them feel more like the ideal.

Types of Cosmetic Breast Surgery

One of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures in the United States is breast enhancement or augmentation, which can greatly improve the appearance of a woman's breasts. Enhancement can be used to enlarge small breasts, breasts that have gotten smaller due to childbirth, and underdeveloped breasts.

Many times times the shape, contour, or size of a woman's breasts do not fit their self image. A procedure called a breast lift of mastoplexy is performed to reshape and elevate the breasts, making them appear more youthful. A breast lift is often accompanied by a breast augmentation.

For many other women, large, uneven, or sagging breasts is the cause for their dissatisfaction with their self image. Some find that their physical activities are restricted in some way or cannot find clothing that fits properly, while others experience pain from the weight of their breasts alone. These problems may call for a procedure such as a breast reduction or reduction mammoplasty.

Making Your Decision

Discuss your goals and what you expect from the surgery during your conference with your surgeon, who will make an assessment of your breasts, what you expect, and the most probable results of your procedure.

Several before and after photos of patients having similar procedures will be shown to you and your surgeon will explain what treatment will most likely entail. A mammography (x-ray) will usually be required.
