Breast augmentation is typically done for one or more of the following reasons: • To increase breast size • To improve breast symmetry • To add breast volume, which is often decreased after pregnancy or weight loss • To reconstruct the breast after a mastectomy It's important that you are physically and emotionally healthy, and can take time off work and other activities for recovery. Breast augmentation may not be recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for women who have a history of breast cancer or other breast disorders. Additionally, women with certain medical conditions such as heart problems or diabetes may not be good candidates for the surgery.
