The dismissive nickname ‘boob job’ sounds good around the water cooler but does not do justice to a surgical procedure that has changed many women’s lives. Start with the fact that this society, like most, worships the physical characteristics of youth – it’s just that we’re a lot more crass about it than most.

Millions of women believe that their principal qualities of attraction are physical, and that those characteristics approach ideal as they get closer to the proportions of a ‘precocious’ fifteen-year-old. After a couple of kids, meeting that goal is all but impossible. Many women resort to the tools of technology to try and regain some of that youthful look. Once you break away from the water cooler and return to your desk, a little research will reveal that there are a lot of options to a ‘boob job’ and that a breast lift is only one of them.

The largest segment of the population that seeks out breast surgery is women in their thirties or older who are married and/or have children. Rather than seeking some fictional ‘ideal’ as defined by Cosmo, these women are seeking to restore their figure to something approaching those single days, or to change a physical shortcoming that has bothered them for years. With a specific goal in mind, it’s easier to explore the specific opportunities that cosmetic breast surgery offers. Here are some suggestions.

1. If your breasts are sagging as the result of a couple of pregnancies and nursing cycles, a breast lift is going to help. Many surgeons will suggest that an implant is an important part of restoring and maintaining the lifted breast. As the tissues settle following surgery, the “upper pole” portion of the breast will settle as well. An implant in that area will maintain the fullness of the breast after the initial period following the lift.

2. Asymmetrical breasts are just another physical reality to some women, and for others it’s a malformation that drives them crazy. Breasts can be brought into a symmetrical match without augmentation – or at least, without increasing the size of both breasts and creating an altered profile. It is perhaps the most subtle of breast augmentation choices, but important to someone who has felt oddly one-sided for years.

3. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that is designed in large part to execute a psychological change. Women who are seeking a larger bust have generally felt inferior due to the flat chest that they have lived with every day since puberty. It’s important to talk with your surgeon and – most important – with other women who have sought the same remedy.

4. You must understand that physical change has limits. Like contact lenses, your new shape will soon become a standard fixture. Your surgeon can give you a new outer shell but the new self confidence that should go with it must come from within.

5. Sometimes when you think a breast lift is in order, the more effective option is a breast reduction. Reduction of large breasts after they are well into adulthood (and parenthood) can often have a dual effect. Reduction combined with lift will give you a new and perhaps more comfortable silhouette as it is more proportional. Breast reductions can also provide relief from back pain and perhaps open up some options for athletic activity that you had previously avoided.

Top Five Reasons for Breast Augmentation

Mon, 02 Aug 2010 02:18:22 +0000

Breast augmentation is now so widely accepted that most people don’t bat an eyelash when one mentions they’re thinking of it. Also, it’s a fairly routine procedure now, with many safe options to choose from (though it’s surgery nonetheless, and should not be undertaken lightly). Here are the top five reasons for breast augmentation:

1. It simply gives you bigger breasts! If done for one’s own approval, and not for a spouse or another’s acceptance, augmentation surgery can give a person their desired cup size.

2. Post-pregnancy reshaping or filling: after the pull-and-stretch of pregnancy itself, and then breastfeeding after, the breast muscles, skin and tissue are often irreparably pulled and shaped differently. Sagging is common, and many times a woman’s breasts are a smaller cup size.

3. Reshaping: the body is not an entirely symmetric shape. In most cases, a woman’s breasts are not exactly the same shape and size, and usually this does not cause concern. However, some women (and men) have a breast that is a noticeably different size than the other one. Breast augmentation (usually done for both breasts, albeit different sized implants) can “even out” the disparity between the breasts’ size. Also, people would like to have breasts that are more round than elliptical, or perhaps higher up on their torso. In other words, they would prefer to have a shape or size that’s different than what genetics gave them.

4. Reconstruction after breast cancer surgery, or other breast surgery: augmentation in this case can be both cosmetic and/or reconstructive, depending on the amount of breast tissue removed during a partial or full mastectomy. Often, the augmentation surgery can be done during the mastectomy or lumpectomy, or the doctor will make arrangements for a follow-up procedure after the tissue removal area has healed.

5. To fill out breasts and skin made flabby after weight loss: when a person loses a significant amount of weight, breasts lose their fat deposits too. Men and women who lose body weight – particularly if it’s done rapidly – are good candidates for having augmentation done because the breast skin is already stretched out. What’s worth noting here is that the weight loss process should be finished before deciding on the surgery, as further loss (or gain) could negate the positive visual and physical effects of the augmentation.

Many of the above points share a common trait: that breast augmentation is done to make the body more proportional. No matter what your opinion on personal beauty is, it’s common for a person to want to maintain a body shape and image that seems more typical to the rest of the parts of his or her body.
