Cosmetic surgery is a surgical procedure to change the size or shape of the breasts. It is done for personal reasons to rejuvenate and/or enhance the appearance, size, and shape of the breast. There are many reasons why a woman may request aesthetic breast surgery including pregnancy related changes, hormonal changes, weight loss/gain, etc.
Many women simply want to feel more self-confident and have better clothing options. Others seek surgery to balance the other areas of their body with their chest, thus giving them proper proportions. Aesthetic breast surgery not only includes breast augmentation ('boob job' or breast implants), but it also encompasses other procedures including a breast lift (mastopexy), breast reduction, fat grafting, along with liposuction and armpit (axilla).
Depending on the nature of your concerns, will dictate the procedure which may be best for you. There are many new and improved techniques available to cosmetic breast surgeons today that provide superior outcomes with reduced recovery times. There are also new implants available today which give women more choices and options.
