Reasons for Considering a Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is done to increase the size and proportions of a woman's breasts by inserting breast implants. It's a very personal matter and your decision needs to be discussed with your physician based on your own individual needs, desires and expectations. Take into consideration that breast implants are man-made devices and are not expected to last your lifetime. Be prepared to undergo implant removal or replacement sometime in the future.

Each woman who considers breast augmentation has her own personal reasons. Some of these reasons include:

* Enlarging the breasts to make her body more proportional.

* Reshaping/enlarging breasts after losing their shape due to breastfeeding or age.

* Reconstruction after cancer related surgeries.

* Balancing the appearance of breasts that differ in size or shape.
