Understanding the Pros and Cons of Breast Implants

Written by Chelsea Kim. Posted in Korean Breast Surgery

Prepubescent girls, teenage girls, ladies, women – young and old – are confronted by varying images of the breast. They see their mother’s, their friend's, the images in the media and elsewhere.

They learn to associate breasts with their own femininity and desirability. Invariably, they start to compare their own breasts with those around them. And they develop an idea of what is considered the ‘perfect’ breast.

Although most women are unsatisfied with their breasts, the decision to undergo breast surgery is not a small matter. Understanding the pros and cons of breast implants are important steps in reflecting the final decision.

Why Individuals Consider Breast Implants

The general off-take to breast implants is the instant gratification and apparent results you achieve from this surgery. It is by far the only way to achieve an instantaneous change to your appearance. Women can increase her cup size from an AA to a C-cup within hours.

Breast implants is used to alter the size and shape of your breasts. The aim is to produce a full, more rounded profile to achieve an outcome that delights. And in many women, breast implants can also be used to lift breasts from a modest droop.

A fuller breast gives women a more desirable body and adds to her self-confidence and self-esteem. It is for these reason, there are a wide range of implants available to ensure the optimum result is achieved in a controlled manner rather than draw overt attention to the breast.

Breast augmentation is seen as the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure in the world. The process has improved the quality of life for many women and it should not be frowned upon.

This process of self-improvement should be viewed in the same light as you would undergo laser eye surgery, or hair-loss rejuvenation or tattooing your brow and eyelids. In all, the main aim is to improve yourself and to bring back the confidence you need.

Are Breast Implants A Necessity?

As with any type of surgery, breast implant surgery is invasive and it comes with potential risks such as rupture, infection, deflation, scar tissue formation, pain and repeated surgery.

Some women fear surgical techniques. And there are other non-invasive and natural ways to increase bust size and alter its shape.

You can use a bra to increase your bust size by finding a bra that is padded or a push-up that will lift your breasts, giving a fuller cleavage. You could also use a prosthetic insert that slides into your bra to increase your breast size.

There is also a vacuum-pressure device to gradually increase breast tissue. Alternatively there are breast enlargement creams, pills, herbal supplements and exercise techniques that can gradually increase and lifting breasts.

At the end of the day, women have choices when it comes to breast implants and augmentation. Women should be able to choose and weigh the benefits and potential risks involved with breast surgery.

Whilst there is no absolute right or wrong to breast implants and augmentation, the truth of the matter is, breast surgery is a very personal affair.
