Breast enhancement surgery is one of the most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedures. A well-performed operation can give a lasting, natural-looking bust leaving you to feel better about your appearance and giving you greater self-confidence. Breast augmentation is a well proven operation with excellent results and high satisfaction.

For women who have insufficient breast tissue, the flat or narrow-chest can literally be transformed into an appealing, well-proportioned look by the choice of the appropriate implant. The aim is to select a prosthesis, which will enhance the chest contour to flattering proportions without revealing visible implant edges. Most patients do not wish the implants to be obvious, instead preferring to achieve a natural, well-shaped look.

For women who have had children, loose skin, loss of breast tissue and slight to moderate drooping, can be a problem. Breast augmentation can greatly enhance the look of the breasts by providing the fullness, firmness and some of the lift lost during pregnancy. Although breast enhancement surgery cannot remove stretch marks, the breasts can return to their original size, shape and fullness.

If you have significant breast droop, you may benefit from having a breast lift to restore the nipple position to a youthful, high position. Augmentation and lifting can be performed in the same operation.

Is breast augmentation right for me?

You may wish to consider augmentation mammaplasty if you feel your breasts are smaller than you would like or are out of proportion with the rest of your body. Two different circumstances most frequently create an interest in surgical breast enlargement. The first involves congenital under development or an imbalance in the amount of naturally existing breast tissue relative to the other body measurements such as hip circumference and height. In this instance, there may be problems with breast asymmetry or shape deformities. The second situation is caused by natural loss of breast volume, which follows a large weight loss or pregnancy. The breast often takes on a collapsed or deflated appearance and clothing no longer fits well around the chest.

One or more of the following feelings or conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for breast augmentation:

• You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too small
• Clothes that fit well around your hips are often too large at the bustline
• You feel self-conscious wearing a swimsuit or form-fitting top
• Your breasts have become smaller and lost their firmness after having children
• Weight loss has changed the size and shape of your breasts
• One of your breasts is noticeably smaller than the other

Breast augmentation can enhance your breast size and shape, and give you a more proportional figure. Breast augmentation can be performed at any age after the breasts are fully developed. A good candidate for breast enlargement is emotionally mature, understands her personal motivations and has realistic goals for the procedure.
