For the typical woman, her breasts are a symbol of her femininity in her mind. In fact, they constitute a component of her identity as a woman. Most women are happy with the overall size and shape of their breasts. However, some women have always felt that their breasts were not satisfactory in some way.
The reasons for women opting for breast augmentation surgery primarily boil down to these two: breast size and breast shape.
In terms of size: some women go through their teen years expecting all the while for their breasts to grow larger at some point. But, they never really do at least not as much as they had hoped.
Meanwhile, other women are concerned more with breast shape. For these women, they may have been fairly happy with their breasts when they were in their 20s or even their 30s, but then life happened. That is: they got along in years, or they had one or more kids, or they gained a little bit of weight and their breasts started to lose that attractive shape that they had gotten used to.
And of course, some women are dissatisfied with their breasts size and shape altogether.
Breasts And Body Image
It is true that both men and women consider the female breast to be symbolic of femininity and beauty. Of course, tastes among both sexes vary in terms of just what constitutes beauty and perfection when it comes to breasts. There are as many opinions as there are people.
Still, some women feel that their body image will improve if their breasts are larger and fuller. This is where breast augmentation comes in.
The Promise Of Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation surgery gives women who are not satisfied with their body image the opportunity to improve it. It allows them to choose and then attain the size and shape breasts they always wanted, with the help of their doctor.
Breast Augmentation: Before And After Cup Size
A common way for a woman to work with her plastic surgeon to find that perfect breast size and shape is to tell her doctor her desired cup size measurements.
Many women feel that they have a good sense of the before and after cup size of their breasts. However, rest assured: going by cup size alone is not the best way to describe to your doctor the breasts you want. The reason is that there is no standard, universal cup size that tells the whole story. Rather, other factors like ribcage size, chest shape, and existing breast volume play a part in the size of implants the doctor chooses.
Tips For Getting The Breasts You Want After Augmentation Surgery
Instead of just telling your doctor your desired cup size and hoping for the best, use these tips for getting the breasts you have always wanted:
1. Use pictures: Find pictures of how you would like your breasts to look and show them to your doctor. This is one of the most surefire ways of getting the breasts you want.
2. Refer to implant manufacturer specifications: Each implant manufacturer offers detailed specifications about their implants. Reading them can be helpful in choosing the right type and size for you.
3. Choose between smooth and textured implants: This is another choice that will affect the look and feel of your new breasts.
4. Choose between silicone and saline implants: Both types are very common and popular, and each has its advantages.
5. Decide upon the right incision location: You and your doctor may decide that your incision should be made under the areola, under the arm, or somewhere else. The choice will affect how your breast looks after surgery.
The bottom line is that you need to learn to trust your doctor. He or she has likely performed hundreds or thousands of breast surgeries. When it comes to cup size, tell (and show) your doctor what you want and then let him or her make the final determination. They know best how to get you what you want.
Breast augmentation before and after cup size measurements are less of a science and more of an art. So, don t stick to the cup size itself, but focus rather on how you want them to look. Then, share it with your doctor.
