Benefits of having a Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation is one of the most effective procedures to correct noticeable breast asymmetry, and breast implants can be used to help correct tuberous breast deformities. Other common goals of breast augmentation:
•Restoring breast fullness lost after pregnancy & breastfeeding or major weight loss
•Feeling more confident in a swimsuit, underwear, or without clothes
•Adding balance to better complement curvy hips
•Improving self-image with a more feminine chest
How to choose a qualified surgeon?
If you’re considering Breast Augmentation, the most important decision you’ll make is who will perform your procedure. When you visit a cosmetic surgeon, ask how many breast augmentations he or she has performed, and be sure to look at plenty of before and after photos during your consultation—this will help you get a feel for a cosmetic surgeon’s aesthetic style. And not forget to verify they are Board Certified Plastic Surgeons.
