You have a regular exercise routine, and you eat clean. You’re in good health and don’t have much to complain about in the physical department–except one thing. Your breast size isn’t exactly ideal. It may not be that bad–they’re a little too small or a bit uneven. You can deal with things the way they are. But it would be best if you didn’t have to deal with it.
It doesn’t matter if you want to change your body because you were born with a smaller chest or because you had a procedure like a mastectomy or a lumpectomy. You should have the option to be the size you want and look the way you want.
While the main benefit of breast augmentation is changing the shape and size of your breasts, it does have a few other benefits that might surprise you. Let’s talk about breast augmentation surgery, what it is, and what benefits you can expect to see post-surgery.
What Are The Different Types Of Breast Augmentation?
You’ll have a few different options depending on what you want to get out of your breast augmentation.
Breast Implants: If you’re after a total change in your breast size and shape, breast implants are the way to go. You can choose from silicone or saline implants, along with the size and shape of the implant.
Fat Transfer To Breasts: This surgery is a more natural way to add volume to your chest. You’ll have fat taken from a fleshy body area (like your abdomen or thighs). After this liposuction, the fat cells return to your body–just in your breasts. Because this method uses your body fat, you won’t have to worry about implant maintenance.
Breast Lift: A third method of breast augmentation is the breast lift. While it’s sometimes combined with implant surgery, a breast lift is growing in popularity as a stand-alone procedure. Your breasts sometimes sag–a fact we’re all familiar with–due to age, gravity, genetics, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and breastfeeding. We’ve got a lot working against us and our breasts. A breast lift removes the extra tissue and tightens the skin to form a firmer, younger-looking chest.
7 Benefits Of Breast Augmentation
It’s easy to overlook the other possible perks of breast augmentation surgery. So, what are the not-so-commonly recognized benefits you can expect from your breast augmentation?
1. Adds Volume
Okay, we know you know this, but come on. We have to say it. Breast augmentation's number one benefit is the volume it adds to your chest. Sometimes, you want more volume because you were born with little; other times, life has thrown you things that have left you with little. Whatever the case, you deserve more.
2. Provides Lift
This may not exactly be an unexpected benefit, but it’s still worth mentioning. You can see a big improvement in the placement of your breast with any form of breast augmentation. While sagging may be a part of our lives, we can still do our best to counter it with a lift and tuck here and there.
3. Creates Symmetry
Not everyone has a naturally lopsided or asymmetric chest. Some of us have all the luck! But seriously, if you aren’t one of the lucky ones who can boast breasts of the (relatively) same size and shape, don’t feel bad–get even.
4. Reconstructs
We’ve talked about the cosmetic benefits of breast augmentation, but medical benefits mix in, too. If you’ve had surgery for health reasons (like a lumpectomy or mastectomy), breast augmentation can recreate the feminine contours of your body and give you your desired figure.
5. Expands Clothing Choices
It’s frustrating enough to go shopping for clothes, but it’s even worse when nothing seems to fit well. Breast augmentation can help create a chest size that fits the rest of your body. You won’t have to dread shopping for clothes or swimsuits if they are flattering to your shape.
6. Improves Self Confidence
With an aesthetically pleasing figure, nothing is stopping you from investing in yourself. Whether you buy a fancy dress and wear it for no reason, spend your vacation on the beach in your new favorite swimwear, stand up for yourself in your personal life, or finally try something new. If it can be done, you can do it!
7. Quick Recovery
Don’t let the idea of surgery scare you away from getting the body you want. Breast augmentation has come a long way in the last two decades. With every advance in technology and medical practices, recovery time has grown shorter and shorter every year. After the first two weeks post-op, you should be back to most of your normal activities. Around four to six weeks after surgery, you’ll be healed and able to do everything you could before surgery–but with your new body.
Impressive Breast Augmentation Benefits
You know that breast augmentation adds volume and lift to your chest. But did you know that it can also help strengthen your self-confidence, especially if you’re dealing with an uneven chest and struggling to find the right clothing sizes? Reconstructing your chest after medical breast surgery is also a big benefit of breast augmentation. All these benefits, plus the bonus of a fast recovery, make breast augmentation the best way to create the new you.
