Studies show that women who get breast augmentation often experience a boost in their confidence and self-worth, improving their mental health. They experience positive feelings about their appearance and sexuality. While plastic surgery should never be a cure for low self-worth, it has some psychological benefits.
Breast Augmentation and Self-esteem
Perceptions about people who choose to get plastic surgery have continued to change over time. Getting cosmetic surgery is not the domain of people looking for approval from others. The procedures are not necessarily about public perception.
Many women who choose breast augmentation hope to improve issues they consider flaws. Most do not get surgery to please others but for themselves. Studies show that larger or firmer breasts can help boost self-esteem and sexual satisfaction.
Enhancing Body Image
Breast augmentation can help improve your body image. Surgery can be a positive step if you do not like how you look. Millions of women get the surgery, and most are happy with the results. The boost in body image can make an individual more social or outgoing.
When you love your appearance, you are more likely to enjoy being around others. People often gravitate toward confident women. It is, however, vital to separate expectations from reality. Improving your body image will not necessarily change your social life.
Understanding Body Dysmorphia
Body dysmorphia is a mental condition characterized by an obsessive focus on a real or imagined body flaw. People with the disorder obsess over the perceived issue. They can spend hours examining and trying to fix the issue. They also tend to compare their appearance with others.
For people with this condition, breast augmentation may not solve the problem. Some women end up getting multiple breast procedures to fix the flaws. Most surgeons will not perform surgery on women who may have mental issues.
Correcting Asymmetrical Breasts
Many women have breasts that do not match in shape or size. While for many the difference is barely discernable, for others, it is obvious. The condition is relatively common, and it can be embarrassing.
If your breasts have different cup sizes, it can feel like a deformity. It can affect your self-esteem and make it difficult to wear swimsuits or fitting clothes. You may be the only one who knows it, but it can affect your self-esteem. Breast augmentation can correct the issue, transforming your self-perception.
Post-pregnancy Breasts
Many women who get breast augmentation have no self-esteem issues; they want to regain their pre-pregnancy body. Pregnancy changes the body in various ways. The most noticeable change is in the breasts.
After breastfeeding several children, the breasts can look deflated and unattractive. The women who went through years feeling good about their appearance can suddenly hate their breasts. Augmentation can help restore their looks.
It is vital to learn what breast augmentation entails before you go through with the surgery. Research the physical and financial implications. If you decide to get implants, realize they may need replacement at some point. Consult with the surgeon about any concerns you may have. A good surgeon will ask why the woman wants the surgery to determine whether the patient has realistic expectations.
