Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that women have in order to achieve a larger bra size or to correct the shape and look of their breasts. Breast augmentation changes the appearance of the breasts, giving them a youthful, balanced overall look. Although most women turn to breast augmentation to enhance their self-confidence, it is important to understand that the procedure results in a drastic change and does not mean it will change the way people think about you.

Typically, good candidates for breast augmentation are:
 
  • Women who are unhappy with the size of their breasts and feel they are too small
  • Women who wear clothes that are just right at the hips but too large at the bust
  • Women who feel self-conscious wearing bathing suits and tight-fitting tops
  • Women who are experiencing smaller, sagging and softer breasts after giving birth
  • Women who are experiencing smaller, sagging and softer breasts because of weight loss.
  •  Women who have asymmetrical breasts, where one is smaller or shaped differently than the other 
Before going through with breast augmentation, or any kind of breast enhancement procedure, you need to make sure you are emotionally balanced and have a thorough understanding of the procedure and what it entails. You must be in good health and have an active, healthy lifestyle. Remember that breast augmentation is a good tool to enhance your figure, but it will not completely change your look.

The breast augmentation procedure is performed by inserting either saline or silicone breast implants. Contacting a Board Certified Surgeon and setting up a consultation with the doctor is essential to figuring out which implant option is right for you. Your surgeon will also be able to assess if you are a good candidate for breast augmentation and help you clarify your questions and concerns about the procedure.
