Breast Augmentation surgery has become very popular among women in the last twenty years. In 2015, nearly 280,000 women and teenagers went through breast augmentation to enlarge their breasts using saline or silicone implants. This is more than double the number of surgeries of the same nature that were conducted in 1997.

But why has breast augmentation surgery become so popular? We recently spoke to the brilliant doctors at Absolute Cosmetics, who told us some of the reasons women choose to get breast augmentation surgery done. To find out what we learned, keep reading.

1. Create Balanced Body Proportions

When you have wide hips, having small breasts can give your figure an unbalanced or disproportionate look. Breast implants fill out the gap, giving you a more balanced and curvier figure.

2. Clothes Fit Better

An added advantage to having balance proportions from implants is that they often improve the way clothes fit your body. This gives you more options regarding what you are able to wear, and you are more able to wear clothes that match and flatter your body, your personality, and your style.

3. Enhance Your Image

With better body proportions and more stylish clothes to adorn the body with, your image immediately gets a boost. Breast augmentation always adds that extra edge to have you looking more attractive.

4. Achieve Breast Symmetry

Most women find that they have one breast that is bigger than the other. This can be quite a bother as it makes bra fittings very difficult. In cases like these, an implant can be fit into the smaller breast, or both breasts can be fitted with different sized implants in order to create symmetry.

5. Improve Self Confidence

Many women deal with self-esteem issues over the size or shape of their breasts. Breast augmentation gives women the chance to change the shape and size of their breasts and make their bodies more attractive, thus improving their self-confidence.

6. Get Your Body Back Post-Partum

Every pregnant or nursing mother experiences a large swell in their breasts and an eventual decrease in volume. This can cause what were once firm breasts to become saggy. With breast augmentation, implants can be fitted into your breasts to give them more volume and create a firmer, more lifted and attractive bust.

7. Accentuate the Results of Your Weight loss

Hooray, you lost 45llbs! The only downside to this is that your body took too much fat from your breasts, and now they are disproportionate and smaller than they were before you gained weight in the first place. Thankfully, with breast augmentation, implants can be used to restore the size and shape of the breasts after weight loss.

8. Restore Curves Post-Mastectomy

Women who go through breast cancer often have to get mastectomies to save their lives, but the cost is the loss of the uniquely feminine breasts. Breast implants can restore that loss, giving a woman back her feminine curves.

9. Look and Feel Younger and Sexier

Youth, femininity, and sexuality are often represented with perky and full breasts. Women with small, asymmetrical, or saggy breasts may find it hard to look and feel sexy. But with breasts implants, you can have a more full and sexier body that speaks of youth, beauty, and confidence.
