Breast augmentation is now so widely accepted that most people don’t bad an eyelash when one mentions they’re thinking of it. Also, it’s a fairly routine procedure now, with many safe options to choose from (though it’s surgery nonetheless, and should not be undertaken lightly). Here are the top five reasons for breast augmentation:

3. Reshaping: the body is not an entirely symmetric shape. In most cases, a woman’s breasts are not exactly the same shape and size, and usually this does not cause concern. However, some women have a breast that is a noticeably different size than the other one. 4. Reconstruction after breast cancer surgery, or other breast surgery: augmentation in this case can be both cosmetic and/or reconstructive, depending on the amount of breast tissue removed during a partial or full mastectomy. Often, the augmentation surgery can be done during the mastectomy or lumpectomy, or the doctor will make arrangements for a follow-up procedure after the tissue removal area has healed. 5. To fill out breasts and skin made flabby after weight loss: when a person loses a significant amount of weight, breasts lose their fat deposits too.
