Breast Implants and Self Esteem
Breast implants and self esteem have been linked by a variety of research studies completed over the past 35 years. The physical, bodily implications of
cosmetic surgery
have been well known for ages. However, recent clinical research projects have demonstrated important positive emotional and psychological changes which occur in many patients who have received
breast implants
to solve long term internal issues regarding actual or perceived breast problems.

Breast Implants and Self Esteem Issues
Due to both
internal motivations
and
external motivations,
many women find that they are drawn to the idea of
breast enlargement surgery.
Society places a high value on physical beauty, as well as attaining an anatomical ideal. This societal influence seems to grow year by year and the pressure to fit the standards of cultural attractiveness can cause a world of psycho-emotional issues. Women who have an actual physical
abnormality
in one or both breasts, or simply perceive that their breasts are less than perfect, can suffer multiple emotional consequences including: lack of self confidence, lack of self esteem, anti-social or anti-sexual behaviors, rebellion against traditional gender roles, depression, anxiety, general unhappiness or body dysmorphic disorder.
Breast Implants and Self Esteem Problems
Women who are troubled by their
natural breasts
often suffer twofold, due to common societal opinion that issues with the
breasts
are signs of a superficial personality or some form of selfishness and self centeredness. In reality, problems with the physical body, whether real or perceived, are a major concern for these women and should be treated as a justifiable issue worthy of treatment. Lack of self esteem can be created from experiencing any of the common complaints women generally site as an underlying motivations for wanting cosmetic surgical correction including:
sagginess,
small size,
unusual shape,
asymmetry,
unusual placement, aesthetic
nipple
issues or a generally unattractive appearance. This self esteem problem can be compounded when the very same women faces or fears a potential negative reaction if she undertakes surgery to fix her physical and emotional breast issues. It is crucial to support women seeking to undergo
breast augmentation
or any surgical breast procedure, as an effective and carefully considered means of achieving their bodily ideals.
