Who considers breast implant surgery?

There are a number of reasons why a patient might consider breast implant surgery. Some people suffer from low self-esteem as they feel that their breasts are too small for their frame, making them look child-like and disproportionate. Others hope to feel more womanly, sexy and curvaceous by having full, larger breasts. In some cases, overly large breasts can become a burden, straining women’s backs and causing severe prolonged pain. Patients can also complain of sagging breasts following major weight loss, pregnancy or natural aging and unlucky genetics. In addition, there are cases in which breast surgery follows on from more devastating life-saving surgeries where one or both breasts had to be removed and now they wish to go back to normal.
