THREE OF THE TOP REASONS WOMEN WANT A BREAST AUGMENTATION

If you’ve thought about researching breast augmentation in metro Detroit, you’re not alone. Women today in southeast Michigan and across the country are flocking to their plastic surgeon’s offices to learn more about options when it comes to enhancing their breasts…more than ever before.

Breast augmentation is the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the U.S., according to a study from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. There was a 31 percent increase in procedures from 2000-2014. Additionally, breast lifts are up a whopping 89 percent since the year 2000. (Following breast augmentation in popularity is liposuction.)

What these statistics indicate is that more and more women are realizing just how attainable breast augmentation can be. Dr. Andrew Lofman specializes in breast augmentation in southeast Michigan, and has helped hundreds of women just like you get the breasts they desire for over 15 years.

Read on for three of the top reasons women today are taking control of their body image through breast augmentation.

DISPROPORTIONATELY SMALL BREASTS

Some women choose to undergo breast augmentation because they are self-conscious about the size of their breasts and would prefer to enhance them to a larger size with which they are comfortable. Some of these women have a condition known as micromastia. This medical condition is a failure of breasts to develop after puberty and can affect one or both breasts, causing embarrassment or a feeling of not being womanly.

Breast implants can offer a solution to micromastia and help women with this condition to feel more confident in their own skin and in certain clothing they wish to wear.

UNEVEN BREASTS

Likewise, some women are unsatisfied with the look of their breasts because one is smaller than the other — either due to the aforementioned micromastia, uneven estrogen levels or other circumstances. This relatively common occurrence can be easily fixed by using an implant(s) to even up the breasts and provide a look of symmetry.
