Breast implants are used in breast augmentations, which are surgical procedures done to help your breasts look larger. You may choose breast augmentation for a variety of reasons, such as to regain the look that you once had or to feel more youthful. If you are considering saline or silicone breast implants, you should be aware of their benefits and of how they can change your life.
They Help Your Figure Look More Proportionate
If you have been endowed with large hips but a small bust line, you may feel that your figure is disproportionate. Breast implants do not have to look unnatural. Instead, they can actually balance out your figure, making you look more natural and aesthetically pleasing.
They Replace Lost Tissue
While breast implants can make your breasts appear bigger, they can also be used to replace breast tissue that has been lost through aging or hormonal changes. For example, breast tissues may deflate after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or extreme weight loss. Implants can replace these tissues and give you back your more youthful look.
They Make Breasts Appear Symmetrical
You might be surprised to learn that many women have asymmetrical breasts. For some, this difference may be hardly noticeable. For others, it may be very easy to see. Breast implants of slightly different sizes can be placed to correct this difference permanently.
They Correct Your Figure after Mastectomy
If you have had a preventative mastectomy or a mastectomy for breast cancer, you can look like yourself again with breast implants. This can help you get through this difficult time both physically and emotionally.
They Help You Feel More Confident
Very small or disproportionate breasts can make you feel embarrassed or may lessen your confidence. However, when you feel proud of your body shape and femininity, you can feel empowered to be yourself at work, at home, and at social events.
As with any surgery, you should go into a breast augmentation only after putting in a great deal of thought. Because it is a surgery, it does come with some risks, but most women are incredibly pleased with their results and are happy that they have undergone augmentation.
