A woman's breasts are in many ways a symbol of her femininity. They are not only an important part of her outward appearance, but should contribute to an inner security that goes far beyond her aesthetic appeal. They should be a constant source of pride and enjoyment. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.

Small-breasted women, for example, often feel less feminine than their more generously endowed counterparts. Even women with "normal" breasts may see their once-beautiful bosoms sag or diminish in size from pregnancy or aging. Besides the obvious visual displeasure, they sometimes suffer emotional problems that persist throughout their lives.

There is a prevalent misconception that women want to enlarge their breasts to attract and please men. This is rarely the prime motivation. Most women do it for themselves. Numerous studies have shown that women want larger breasts for one reason - improving their self-esteem.

It is well known that there is a relatively simple surgical procedure called augmentation mammoplasty that almost always produces excellent results. So if you're among the growing number of women who want more beautiful breasts, this operation will be a safe and effective way to do it.

It is for this reason that breast augmentation is one of the most common operations performed by plastic surgeons today. There are an estimated 2 million American women who have had breast implants. An estimated 160,000 to 190,000 women had their breasts enlarged last year! In my 30 years in private practice I have personally performed over 2000 breast augmentations including 114 last year. Over this period of time I have used almost every type of implant approved by the FDA, placed the implants above and below the muscle and used all but one of the possible incisions. Among plastic surgeons there are varying beliefs about how the surgery should be done and I respect them; but because of my extensive experience, I believe my opinions on the subject of breast augmentation should be strongly considered.
