subject: Cosmetic Breast Surgery Overview [print this page] Whether women want to admit it or not, boob size and shape has taken on a major social significance in our society. Its appearance is often correlated to feelings of adequacy and self-esteem. A woman may feel her breasts are too small, too larger or of an unappealing form whether they are the result of natural development, child birth, weight gain or loss or a battle with cancer. Regardless, she must wrestle with these negative feelings. If you can relate to these feelings you are not alone. You are probably aware of the many cosmetic breast surgery options available to correct just about any perceived flaw in a woman's appearance. Here is an overview of those options
Llift
In addition to improving the contour and shape of the breasts a lift can provide a more symmetrical look. It may also improve the appearance and placement of the nipples and areolas. This procedure is recommended for a woman who is comfortable with the size and shape of her breasts when they have the foundation of a bra, but find that they sag too low when not supported. The procedure is frequently performed along with a small breast augmentation for women who want some increased volume.
Augmentation
One of the most popular plastic surgeries performed in the country, in this procedure implants made of saline or silicone are inserted to add volume to underdeveloped breasts. Such a woman may feel uncomfortable wearing a swimsuit or have trouble finding clothes that fit properly both around the hips and in the bustline. There are many implant options on the market today so some time needs to be spent evaluating those choices.
Reduction
This surgery both resizes and reshapes the breasts, making them smaller and firmer. The benefits extend well beyond improved appearance - large boob size is frequently associated with chronic shoulder, neck and back pain. A woman considering this surgery should be fully developed and at a stable weight.
Any cosmetic breast surgery is not to be taken lightly; there are several things to consider. First and foremost, a woman must evaluate whether or not she is directing dissatisfaction with other aspects of life - job, relationships, etc., - into her body which she might feel she has more control over. If she deals with those feelings, then getting a breast lift, reduction or augmentation can simply be the "cherry on top."
It's also important to keep in mind that cosmetic breast surgery procedures are real surgeries and should be treated seriously as such. The procedure will result in scarring and the recovery process will be uncomfortable. Therefore, be sure to put some time and effort into choosing an experienced doctor with whom you feel comfortable.
