Breast Augmentation offers a Self-Esteem Boost

Though there are plenty of jokes and stereotypes out there about women who undergo breast augmentation, most women who seek it are really very normal. Yet the caricatures continue to portray top-heavy porn stars with gigantic fake-looking breasts, and those with such deep self-esteem issues that they practically live at their plastic surgeon's office. In truth, most women who seek out breast enhancement want normal, natural-looking results. And though some who seek breast implants may have self-esteem issues, most merely want a little boost to improve their their appearance.

But, that's no to say plastic surgery can't improve self-esteem to an extent. According to a study conducted by the University of Florida, breast augmentation does offer an increase in not only self-esteem, but sexual satisfaction as well. For one patient in Houston, breast augmentation did offer a self-esteem increase which she happily attributes to her surgery, saying, "it's incredible to walk around work and shopping with my head held a little higher and I have a quicker smile for the people I pass."

The women who participated in the University of Florida study had healthy levels of self-esteem before surgery. The breast augmentation merely gave them a boost. Plastic surgery cannot "fix" self-esteem issues, and women with true self-esteem problems are not considered good candidates.

For those considering cosmetic enhancement, Houston breast augmentation specialist Dr. Bob Basu offers great information on his website. Or consult the American Society of Plastic Surgeons website to find a board certified plastic surgeon close to you.

Breast Implant Sizing: How to Keep Your Expectations Realistic

Women love curvy breasts and in their quest for lovely looking breasts they try everything from padded bras and breast enhancing gels to breast surgery. If you have gone crazy with the way women experiment with breast implants you don’t have to worry anymore as the Natrelle® Pre-Consultation Kit is here to help with your ‘sizing’ problems.
Introduced by the Allergan Medical, Inc, a well known brand in the world of body aesthetics, this kit has specifically been designed with the purpose of keeping women contemplating breast augmentation more informed. It helps them prepare before they meet their plastic surgeon for consultation. It’s a win-win situation for both the doctors as well as patients, since the doctors look for well informed patients.
So what can you find in the Natrelle Pre-Consultation Kit? Well, you’d find implants, a sizing bra and educational products in the kit that will actually help you see how you would look, and in a very a scientific way. You can take this ‘test drive’ in the very comfort of your own home.
Many women have myths about the sizing issue when it comes to breast augmentation. They hold false expectations about the size and then blame the surgeons or themselves for the way their breasts look.
If you want to be happy with the way your breasts look it would be sensible to keep realistic expectations. You surely have to be realistic even while you try to attain that ‘dream size’ because aiming for a size that is impossible or impractical would do you no good. Instead aim for a more modest increase in bust size.
With the Natrelle® Pre-Consultation Kit, implant sizing not only becomes scientific and accurate, but also personal, fun, and a private at-home experience that women can do at leisure. You can simply go about your routine tasks wearing the kit implants and sizing bra and see for yourself what your ‘practical size’ is.
