A woman's body and femininity is largely defined by her breasts, and there are numerous reasons women opt for breast augmentation. For some women, the breasts may not have developed fully, leaving them with a dissatisfaction about their bodies. This can result in low self-esteem, low self-worth and a lower quality of life in general. Some women look to breast augmentation to address these issues decisively and permanently.

For others, pregnancy has taken its toll on the human body. In fact, many women report a substantial loss of volume after pregnancy. Others complain that pregnancy and breast feeding have resulted in permanent sagging. Breast augmentation in either implant or breast-lift form can correct these problems.

Breast reconstruction plays an important role in the recovery of women who have undergone a mastectomy due to cancer. Years ago, when a mastectomy was performed, the woman was forced to live life without one or both breasts. Today, breast augmentation in the form of implants and reconstruction can be performed--often at the same time as the mastectomy--allowing a woman to feel more comfortable in her own skin. Since 2002, breast reconstruction has decreased 22 percent while breast augmentation such as implants and lifts has increased 24 percent during the same time period.
