Breast Augmentation

Benefits

There are many benefits to breast enlargement. These range from the way clothes fit you to how you feel about yourself. In general, there are two categories of women who benefit most from breast augmentation. The first is naturally small and has always wanted to have larger breasts. Typically, she is very secure with herself. She just knows she would feel more self confident with larger breasts.

The second type is the woman who has developed saggy breasts. Often, this occurs because of child birth, aging, or weight loss. She wants her breasts to be perky like they used to be. She may even choose to be a little bigger than she used to be. The choice is up to the patient. Both of these patients are dramatically helped by breast augmentation.

The above example shows a common problem after childbirth; saggy breasts with loss of upper breast fullness and loss of cleavage. This is caused by several factors including skin stretching and breast tissue descent. A third significant cause is loss of breast tissue known as breast tissue atrophy.

Breast augmentation can correct only minor amounts of breast sag. If there is too much sag then a breast lift is required. This can be done with or without an implant. This depends on how much breast tissue is left and what the patient wants. If the sag is minimal then a breast augmentation alone can provide the necessary breast lift. By increasing the breast volume with an implant the nipple/areola complex will elevate slightly. This is demonstrated very well in the profile Before and After above.

Outlined below is a summary of benefits from breast augmentation:

• Fuller/larger breasts
• Improved cleavage
• Better fitting clothes
• Improved body proportion
• Waist and buttocks appear to be smaller
• Correction of minor sag
• Improved self confidence

The benefits above must be weighed against the downsides of getting breast enlargement. These include cost, downtime from work, need to buy new clothes, possible need for revision surgery.

Dr. Cruise and his staff are fantastic! Having this surgery was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Dr. Cruise answered all of my questions (even the odd ones I asked from having done too much research!) and offered suggestions and advice that ended up giving me the results I had only dreamed of and appropriate for me. I knew this would change my life but I didn’t realize how happy I would be or that my old appearance would soon become a withering memory. Before this surgery I had low self esteem about my physical appearance. I didn’t even let family or friends know how bad I actually felt. Now, I have friends and strangers tell me how perfect my results are and my self esteem has reached heights. Thank you sooooo very much Dr. Cruise! You and your staff rock!
