Multiple reasons may induce a woman to have a breast augmentation. Some will be motivated by considerations of the overall symmetry of their bodies, others might feel that currently their breasts are too small or that they present a form or shape they do not like. Any of these may be a reason to start thinking about the procedure. Also a lack of confidence in themselves often plays an important role. Just like being unhappy with one’s nose, not being happy with one’s breasts can do much harm to a person’s self image. In many cases those that recovered from breast cancer have breast augmentation, because during the treatment of their illness they had tissue removed. A woman may decide to undergo an augmentation for a great many different reasons. In general though, the results are highly positive and have a great benefit both for the psychological health and the physical appearance of the patient.
