Breast enhancement is of course the act of having your breasts augmented in order to appear larger and firmer. This means having them filled with some substance other than the fat that would normally be there naturally in order to both pad them and make them more buoyant and stretch the skin around them more tightly. This is achieved in several different ways and there are various different methods of breast enhancement. Knowing precisely what you are signing yourself up for before you get the breast enhancement is highly important and will help you also to decide on precisely which procedure is right for you. Here we will have a brief overview of the subject of breast enhancement.
Why Breast Enhancement? There are many reasons why people will choose breast enhancement, but generally they will be cosmetic. Breasts are often considered one of the female features that men find most attractive, and so by having a pair of pert and full breasts a woman can feel confident and attractive. It is thought that men find breasts attractive because they suggest that the woman is fertile and able to provide healthy offspring and then to look after them. Because breasts are such an important part of the female physique, many clothes depend on the woman having large or perky breasts. Meanwhile many other tops make use of a good cleavage while others just look better for it. Meanwhile breasts have the effect of improving the appearance of the rest of your physique. They achieve this by making other areas seem comparatively smaller. For instance if you are concerned about the size of your stomach and you think it sticks out – then by getting breast enlargement it is possible to make this look relatively flat, and particularly when underneath certain clothing. The idea is then that a woman will feel womanly, can enjoy a better silhouette and can get away with wearing more different clothes all as a result of having a fuller pair of breasts. This will then make them feel more confident and often in some cases happier. Furthermore, it can help them to find partners both as a result of the breasts themselves and because of the new found confidence and it can even help in their careers. Of course in some cases breast enhancement techniques will be used to repair damage that might have been done by an injury or by disease or necessary surgical procedure. In these cases the techniques are used to try and return the breasts to their previous shape and size rather than to in any way augment them – and as a result these methods are not always referred to as ‘enhancement’.

Your Choices of Breast Enhancement
Breast surgery has been around for more than a century. Each year an increasing number of women opt for cosmetic breast surgery, mainly augmentation (to enlarger size) surgery.
If you have thought long and hard about breast augmentation and have decided you want it, then you will next need to decide on what form of augmentation. Here there are two particularly popular forms of implants which are explained below:
Implants (Silicone or Saline)
Implants are perhaps the more common form of breast enhancement. These involve implanting a foreign object into the breasts as ‘fillers’ to pad these out. These implants can be placed wither directly below the skin, or can be ‘submuscular’ (which is recommended for those who already have larger breasts) and this will make some difference to the appearance. At the same time there are different types of implants that can be used, though most often silicone implants are used. While saline implants (bags filled with a mixture of salt and water) can also be effective and have their own advantages, these are more prone to aesthetic problems which can include rippling and other problems.
History of cosmetic breast surgery
Breast augmentation surgery involves placing of a silicone gel-filled implant in the intrices of breasts with the aim to enhance size.
Implants made of different materials have been tried in the past; use of silicone implants began in 1962. The commonest kind of breast implants used today are saline and silicone implants.
• Saline implants – as the name suggests, these are filled with sterile salt water which is either pre-filled or can be filled in at the time of the procedure. Saline implants requires a smaller incision (as compared to silicone implants) – this is usually taken under the crease of the breast or the armpit and thus is very hard to detect.
• Silicone gel-filled implants – are made of a silicone gel and come only in pre-filled variety. Although, these require a much larger incisions, they are much safer than the saline ones – chances of an infection greatly decrease with silicone based implants.
