Does Breast Enhancement Surgery Make Bra Shopping Easier?
The first thing most people want to do as soon as they’ve gotten breast enhancement surgery is go out and buy a new bra. But you must be patient. As your breasts heal, they will change and grow. You will probably wear a larger bra in the long run. Most surgeons recommend waiting at least three months until you go shopping for that perfect bra.
So, does breast enhancement surgery make bra shopping easier? Many people with breast implants would say no. While it is exciting to be able to shop for a bra that you would have never fit into before, breast implants are a different shape than natural breasts. They are higher and rounder and stick out more.
For this reason, some feel that traditional bras are uncomfortable if you’ve underwent breast enhancement surgery.
But there’s good news. In the summer of 2007, a new line of bras designed by American plastic surgeon, Dr. David Brothers, hit the British market. This bra – the Le Mystère No.9 — was inspired by Brothers’ patients who complained about not being able to find a bra after cosmetic surgery.
The “boob job” bra’s underwire is a full semi-circle shape to more comfortably fit the narrow base of the augmented breast, rather than the oval-shape underwire found in traditional bras. This new bra is good news for the 2 million-plus women in the United States who currently have breast implants.

Do women reclaim their pre-pregnancy figures by getting breast augmentation?
While every child is a little miracle, what they do to your body is miraculous in a different, more frustrating way. Because you breasts grew during pregnancy, after childbirth they begin to shrink and sag.
The female sex appeal lies in the curvy figure. When you start losing that curve, or when things start heading south, you may feel less attractive and self-confident.
You may want to regain your pride with appealing figure you had once. Dr. Placik offers several breast augmentation procedures to make this possible. He can help you reclaim your sexy shape through the body contouring procedure(s) that best meets your needs.
With a breast lift, he can raise and re-contour sagging breasts and restore the volume that was lost after childbirth
With breast enlargement surgery, Dr. Placik can increase the size of your breast while making them uniform, perky and voluptuous.
With breast reduction surgery, he can make large breasts smaller and fix sagging, drooping nipples for a firmer, tighter look and a more comfortable feel.

Looking Great, Feeling Great: The Effect of Plastic Surgery

Breast Implant Surgery Triples Among Teens
Breast implants are replacing convertibles as popular high school graduation gifts.
From 2002 to 2003, the amount of girls ages 18 and younger who receive breast enhancement surgery nearly tripled; from 3,872 to 11,326, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.
Some industry experts speculate that reality TV shows are driving the demand for “boob jobs” and other cosmetic surgical procedures.
Shows like, “I Want a Famous Face,” and “Extreme Makeover,” have piques the interest and curiosity of teenage girls across the nation. As these young ladies realize that it’s not only acceptable but encouraged to alter their bodies, more and more are anxious to forever change their appearances. Today’s teenagers watch in admiration as their famous celebrities undergo surgery with the same ease as they changeover their wardrobes.
As it stands today, there is no law prohibiting surgeons from performing breast implant surgery on anyone younger than age 18. Some surgeons, however, are unwilling to perform the procedure because not all women are fully developed at this age.
Critics argue that today’s young ladies too young to understand the permanent affects of surgery, including the risks associated and long-term maintenance.
