Breast augmentation is the most common surgical procedure for women. In 2022 alone, almost 300,000 augmentations were performed in the United States. Breast augmentation is just one type of breast surgery. Other options include breast reduction and breast lift.
As with any plastic surgery, there are many reasons why women might consider breast surgery. Read on as Tarik Madni, MD and the team here in Southlake, Texas, share eight reasons why women love breast surgery.
Breast surgery can boost your self-confidence and improve your self-esteem. Many women find that achieving their desired breast size and shape positively influence how they perceive themselves, and this leads to a greater sense of empowerment.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can bring about significant changes in your body, including alterations in breast size and shape. Many women find that their breasts are larger after pregnancy and breastfeeding but have become saggy. Breast surgery, such as augmentation or lift procedures, offers a way for you to restore your pre-pregnancy physique.
Natural breast asymmetry is common, and for some women, it can be a source of self-consciousness. For some, it can make bra shopping downright tedious if you have two different cup sizes.
Breast surgery provides a solution to correct unevenness, helps you achieve a more balanced and proportionate appearance, and makes bra shopping a more pleasant endeavor.
For many women, breast surgery opens up new possibilities in terms of clothing fit and fashion choices. Achieving the desired breast size allows you to explore a wider range of styles and feel more comfortable and confident in the clothing you want to wear.
Significant weight loss can lead to changes in your breast volume. Excess skin can make your breasts sag. Breast surgery offers a way for you to address these physical changes and regain a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
Post-bariatric contouring isn’t limited to your breasts. You may also find that contouring on your legs, arms, and belly helps give you the silhouette you want.
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast reductions have gone up 54% since 2019, and there’s good reason for this. Breast reductions can improve your posture and eliminate back strain due to large breasts.
After breast cancer treatment, breast reconstruction can help you feel like yourself again. Direct-to-implant breast surgery can be performed at the same time as your mastectomy, but if you need to wait, you can also benefit from tissue expanders to slowly get your breasts up to the right size over the course of several weeks. Regardless of which method or techniques you need, studies show that breast reconstruction supports your mental wellness after mastectomy.
