Whether it's the beaches in Florida, the Caribbean islands, or the suburbs of Orange County, women are flaunting a surgical procedure that has been gaining increasing popularity by the minute. Breast augmentation (also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty) has been enhancing the size and shapes of the female breast since the official practice made headlines in the 1960s.

When breast augmentation was in its early stages, the subject of plastic surgery was kept under wraps for fear that one would be accused of displaying an unnatural look. Instead of being proud and open to discuss their breast changes, many denied any claims regarding surgical enhancements. The concept of these noticeable physical changes was also set aside for the celebrities in Hollywood, who are often looked upon as needing to keep up appearances in order to land that "perfect role."

In the beginning, the procedure of breast augmentation also cost a ton of money, making it an exclusive practice that mostly wealthy individuals were able to partake in. Today, this form of cosmetic enhancement is actually quite affordable where even college students can save up enough money to have these services. Breast augmentation is now a popular practice that is seen all over the world, represented by many Americans and Europeans.

To many, the process of augmenting the breast is a procedure that is favored over the current alternatives offered on the market. Push-up bras, gel inserts, herbal remedies, chest exercises, and an array of steroid creams and lotions may produce changes in the breast without surgery. The permanency of breast augmentation has become the most popular approach to enhancing this part of the body. This is why selecting the proper size implant is an important decision to make.

When breast augmentation first hit the scene, curves were in and a large bust was a desirable feature to possess. As time lingered on, models began to exhibit an extremely thin look, which meant breasts appeared smaller throughout the pages of magazines. Today, when women approach their late 20s to early 30s, a break from the celebrity thin look is seen, as females prefer a larger breast size and shape. In an attempt to recapture a more youthful look, the bulk of breast augmentation surgeries occurred in patients ranging from the ages of 35 to 40.

The decision on how large to increase your breast size is not only a personal choice, but should also exercise respect for additional factors, such as health and emotional stability. Most doctors recommend that women stick to increasing their breasts no more than two cup sizes beyond their original volume. This tends to avoid the risk of muscle loss, appearing misshapen, and suffering from back and neck problems.

Also, if breasts are made too large for a smaller frame, adverse reactions may arise, such as decreased respect from the opposite sex. Choosing a larger breast size for the body may also demand future operations in order to correct any complications that may have developed over time.

This is why following the "two-cup" rule of thumb, as well as viewing medical morphing software to get an idea of before and after changes will help make the best decision.
