Though global perceptions of beauty are prone to change over time, alternating between fuller figures and waif-like frames, it seems that our ongoing love affair with larger, more voluptuous chests is here to stay. According to statistics released by the International Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons earlier this year, breast augmentation surgery made the number 2 spot on a list of the most popular plastic surgeries across the globe, falling just a percentage point below fat-extracting lipoplasty.

The results reflect the surgical enhancements performed around the world in 2011,  and indicate that – though ranked second globally – breast augmentation was the leading procedure in the United States that year.

So, what is so appealing about this procedure? For many women, breast implants can help them attain a more curvaceous and overtly feminine figure that can bolster their self esteem and make them feel more attractive.

In addition, the plastic surgery resource LoveYourLook.com notes that most clothes are designed for a C cup, so you’ll find that outfits you could never quite fill out suddenly look more flattering and fitted.

As a part of a Miami Mommy Makeover, breast implants can also help many mothers restore the volume they lost as a result of pregnancy, breastfeeding and weight loss, empowering them to regain their confidence as women again.

Are you considering breast augmentation in Miami? If so, you should consult a board-certified plastic surgeon who will treat you with the discretion and respect you deserve as you make this highly personal decision.
