is breast implant
surgery right for you
The psychology behind the decision to have breast implants
is one of the most important aspects of the procedure. A
good candidate for breast augmentation is mentally and
physically stable and understands the reality of what this
surgery can achieve.
Often women seek cosmetic surgery as a means of fulfilling
emotional needs or resolving problematic body image issues. Any
cosmetic procedure affects the patient on a psychological level
just as much as on a physical one and it is important to remember
that if a woman with low self-esteem elects to undergo surgery
in the hope she will feel better about herself, she is likely to feel
disappointed with her surgery. While breast augmentation can
help boost a woman’s confidence, she will not benefit from surgery
if she thinks it is the cure-all for every aspect of her life.
Many women view their breasts as a vital component of their
gender identity, as the female breast is one of the prime symbols
of femininity, motherhood and sensuality. However, women are
notoriously critical of their bodies and some may be especially so
of their breasts. When contemplating breast augmentation, ensure
it’s for the right reasons. CBM
