When a woman chooses to undergo breast enhancement surgery, she usually has a specific goal in mind. Whether she is choosing breast enlargement, breast reduction or a breast lift, she has a mental picture of how she wants her appearance to change. She may want to enlarge her breasts to give herself more pleasing feminine curves. She may want to reduce overlarge breasts to create better body balance. She may want to lift sagging breasts for a more youthful appearance. Appearance may be only skin deep, but the emotional impact of our appearance on our self view, self-esteem and self-confidence cuts to the very core of our being.
Our perception about how we look does affect how we feel about ourselves and that affects everything else – confidence in ourselves and our abilities, work and social relationships, romantic relationships, the role model we present to our children, even our basic satisfaction with life. As a woman, when you look in the mirror it is natural to focus on your breasts. Your breasts are the outward representation of your femininity. A woman who is comfortable with her breasts is confident in herself as a woman. When a woman feels that her breasts detract from her femininity, cosmetic surgery can not only restore but increase her confidence in herself as an attractive and competent woman.
Some women considering breast enhancement cosmetic surgery fail to fully discuss their goals and expectations with their surgeon and may, therefore, be disappointed with the results. A woman frustrated that her sagging post-baby breasts may seek breast augmentation when a breast lift is needed to pull up overstretched muscles to achieve the desired result. Sometimes a combination of procedures will best meet a woman’s desired goal. Dr. Poblete and the dedicated staff at Accentuate Within help clients identify their appearance goals, educate them about cosmetic surgery options and develop an individualized treatment plan to achieve those goals.
