What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?
The benefits of breast augmentation surgery have been shown to include major increases in positive body imaging, or how a woman views her body and herself. Breast enhancement can help a woman feel better about her appearance, increasing her self-confidence and self-esteem. It can also help make a woman feel like herself again, if major changes occurred to her body occurred over time through extreme weight loss, child birth or any other circumstances.
Whatever the reason, breast augmentation is a safe and popular procedure which helps women feel more comfortable in their bodies.

Can Breast Augmentation Benefit My Sex Life?
There are major benefits for women with increased sexual activity and overall satisfaction with their sex lives. This is heavily tied to the woman’s increased self-esteem and positive body image. In a recent survey, many women reported a 70% increase in sexual satisfaction after undergoing breast augmentation surgery, as well as a 61% increase in the frequency of their sexual activity.

Can Breast Augmentation Restore My Breasts After Childbirth or Weight Loss?
There are many motivations to receiving breast augmentation surgery if over time, breast shape and definition has changed or is not the same as it used to be. Many people who have undergone extreme weight loss suffer a loss of muscle and definition with their breasts, and breast augmentation can quickly and easily correct those problems. Many women also notice an extreme change in their breasts shape and definition after breast feeding. Before their child is born, most women will experience rapid breast growth due to the natural process of the body creating milk for the baby, but after breast feeding, the breasts can quickly lose that shape and definition. Breast augmentation can quickly and simply return the breasts to how they were before childbirth.
What Are the Risks of Breast Augmentation?
Besides the normal risks associated with any surgery, there are very few risks associated with breast enhancement surgery because it is a minimally invasive procedure, but the benefits to this procedure are substantial.

I’ve been a patient of Drs. Bruno and Brown for years now, having had a few different procedures done. I’d trust any recommendation they might have, so when some new PRP treatments came out, I was definitely game to give it a go. I’m so thrilled with the results that when they asked me to write about my experience, I was delighted to do so.
