Breast Augmentation: The Facts

Over 400,000 women underwent breast augmentation in 2007, which makes it the third most popular cosmetic surgery in the United States. However, this is perhaps only the tip of the iceberg. In one survey 34% of women said they would like to undergo surgery to improve the size or shape of their breasts. Therefore, the number of breast augmentations is expected to rise over the next decade. Although popular culture has glamorized breast enhancement surgery -it is clear that breast augmentation is not only for celebrities. Millions of women have experienced the boost in self-confidence that comes from boosting their figure.

There are many choices to be made when considering breast augmentation. What type of implant (Saline or silicone)? What profile (moderate profile, moderate-plus or high profile)? Round or tear-drop shaped? It can be quite confusing to a first-time patient. How does one figure out which breast implant is right for you?

With so many choices, it is very helpful to do a little research before scheduling your appointment for breast augmentation this swimsuit season.
