Undergoing breast augmentation may help you achieve fuller breasts that you once dreamed of. It may be considered as a type of cosmetic surgery but it is also done for reconstructive purposes. In reconstructive surgery, surgeons make use of different types of implants to restore anatomy due to birth defects, trauma or deformity caused by medical conditions such as cancer. Breast augmentation procedure as a reconstructive surgery, can help build new breasts especially in patients who had their breasts removed (radical mastectomy). Women with sagging breasts as a result of old age, pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight fluctuations can also benefit from the procedure.

If you are concerned about the way you will look after, there are alternatives to breast augmentation procedure such as wearing padded bras or accepting yourself.
