The Pros And Cons Of Breast Augmentation

Every year the number of individuals who go under the knife increases dramatically,  and why not? A few tweaks here and there can do wonders for a woman’s self esteem  and confidence. Whether you would consider breast augmentation to enhance naturally smaller breasts or to restore volume and shape following pregnancy, breast feeding  or weight loss, make sure that you understand the process, pros and cons, and commit to doing your own extensive research.

Pro:  I feel like a Woman

Our breasts are a symbol of our femininity and sex appeal, and some women feel insecure and undesirable if they lack in this department. Surveys confirm that a substantial majority of women experience instant gratification and a life changing confidence boost after breast enlargement surgery.

Pro: Long Lasting Love

Whether you go for the saline or silicone option, on average they last 10 years or longer before having to be removing or replaced.

Pro: The Perfect Fit

Many women with smaller breasts struggle to find bras and clothing that fit their torso comfortably, with the common problem of it being too baggy. Choosing the right size implants that are in proportion with your body will give you the super sexy natural cleavage you’ve always wanted, and fill the previously baggy bosom blackholes of bras, tops and dresses.

Con: Rest the Breasts

Patients are generally required to take a week off work post surgery, and no lifting of heavy objects is standard procedure. This downtime can be frustrating for some, but is crucial to ensure that you get the best results without cause for any complications or damage. The post surgery package also includes a non-negotiable phenomenally unattractive support bra to be worn for about 3 months, or until your doctor says otherwise.

Con: Risk of Complications

While choosing a skilled, trained and experienced doctor is a no brainer and reduces your risk of complications, this is not always guaranteed. Capsular contracture, loss of nipple sensation and asymmetry issues could become problems.

Con: The Best Breast for You

Some women think bigger is better and often go against the recommendations of their surgeon, choosing implants that are too big for their frame. This can lead to deformities and irregularities that may require a breast implant revision in the near future.

Con: Complicated Mammograms

Implants won’t increase your risk of breast cancer, but their presence can make it more difficult to get a clear mammogram image.

All in all, cosmetic surgery is a personal choice and as with any surgery, requires intense research, thought and planning.
