Have you ever wondered about the health and psychological effects that breast implants can have on a woman? It might surprise you to find out that a breast augmentation can indeed improve the overall well-being and personal satisfaction for a woman.
In the July issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, the medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, there was a study on breast augmentation and the effects it has on a woman’s life. Below are a few key highlights from the article:
- “Cosmetic breast augmentation can have a significant and profound positive impact on a woman’s satisfaction with her breasts [and] her psychosocial and sexual well-being,” according to surgeon Colleen M. McCarthy, MD of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center in New York.
- Specifically, “The group results showed significant improvement in three out of the six areas. On a 0-to-100 scale, average scores increased from 27 to 70 for satisfaction with breasts, from 45 to 78 for psychosocial well-being, and from 35 to 72 for sexual well-being. More than 80 percent of women reported “significant improvement” in satisfaction in these three areas.”
