Why it's done
Breast reduction and breast implant surgeries are performed for different reasons:
Breast Reduction:
Physical Discomfort: Women with excessively large breasts may experience chronic pain, discomfort, and health issues such as back and neck pain, shoulder grooving, and skin irritation. Breast reduction is often sought to alleviate these symptoms and improve overall well-being.
Improved Posture: Large breasts can contribute to poor posture and skeletal issues. Breast reduction helps in reducing the weight and volume of the breasts, promoting better posture and reducing strain on the back and shoulders.
Enhanced Quality of Life: Women seeking breast reduction often report improvements in their ability to engage in physical activities, exercise, and lead a more active lifestyle after the surgery.
Breast Implant :
Desire for Increased Size: Some women may seek breast implants to enhance the size and fullness of their breasts, achieving a more voluptuous or symmetrical appearance.
Restore Volume: Women who have experienced significant weight loss, pregnancy, or breastfeeding may notice a loss of breast volume. Breast implants can help restore the lost volume and provide a more youthful contour.
Improved Confidence and Body Image: Breast augmentation can boost self-esteem and body confidence, especially for individuals who feel dissatisfied with their natural breast size or shape.
Correction of Asymmetry: Breast implants can be used to address breast asymmetry, creating a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
