Choosing the best implant size can be challenging for many patients. Women generally think of size based on the cup size of their bra. Understanding how that translates to implant size can be a bit confusing at first, as it has nothing to do with cup size - which changes with each bra manufacturer. Still, choosing an implant size shouldn't have to be stressful.

Since the first breast implant was successfully placed in 1962, breast augmentation has come a long way. In their recent report, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons revealed that breast augmentation remains one of the most popular surgical cosmetic procedures among women.

For years now, breast enhancement with implants has built itself a solid track record in accomplishing satisfying results for women. For those who wish to enhance or restore the size, shape, proportion, and overall appearance of their breasts, implants have become a popular choice.

Breast implants are an excellent way to replace lost volume, correct underdevelopment, and get the proportionate figure you want. However, implants mean surgery and surgery brings up questions about techniques, recovery, and more. One question that's pretty common is, what about the incisions?

Breast augmentation is an excellent way to address dissatisfaction with your current breast size and shape. However, surgery can still be a bit scary. Knowing how to prepare for a healthy experience, and speedy recovery, goes a long way to ease any anxiety you may feel.

It's not surprising that a lot of women suffer physical symptoms due to larger breasts. What is surprising, however, is that so many women do not realize their breasts are at the root of their suffering.

Large, heavy breasts can cause discomfort or be out of proportion to the rest of the body. With age and weight gain, your shoulders naturally roll forward, compressing nerve fibers in the space between your collarbone, shoulder blades, and ribs. Over time, the pain from these compressed nerves can be nagging and in some cases even excruciating.

Deciding to get a breast reduction is a decision you should make with the consult of a trusted plastic surgeon. They will be able to answer your questions and make recommendations on what is best for your body, and if a breast reduction will address the symptoms you are experiencing.

There is a lot that goes into deciding to get a breast augmentation procedure. When it comes to altering your body, you should always be confident in the decisions you make. Changing your appearance in any way will have an effect on your self-confidence and also influence the way others perceive you.

Women decide to have an augmentation procedure for several different reasons. You'll probably find yourself in at least one of these categories:

• You're unhappy with the current size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts.
• Your breasts are underdeveloped and not proportionate to your body.
• Breastfeeding has caused some changes.
• Age and gravity have taken a toll on your breasts.
• You've experienced significant weight loss.
