When speaking of the many great things about breast implants Beverly Hills patients most often mention the confidence boost they give. Achieving the beautiful figure desired by so many, being able to wear fitted clothes and swimsuits with confidence. But breast implants aren’t just for vanity. There is so much more to them than meets the eye. A woman by the name of Lydia Carranza is alive today because of her double D breast implants. Lydia was working at a dental office when her co worker’s husband opened fire at their workplace. The gunfire killed her coworker, and Lydia herself was shot twice in the chest. After the CT scans were reviewed it was observed that the bullet fragments lodged in her implants were millimeters away from her heart and other vital organs. Had it not been for her breast implants Lydia could have died or been much more seriously injured due of the shooting. This doesn’t mean that we should all go get breast implants Beverly Hills surgeons advise us not to get implants as a means to stop bullets, or in place of a bullet proof vest, but this does show one of the many great things plastic surgery has done.

Breast implants have also helped women in overcoming breast cancer. For many women breast cancer runs in their family. Family history showing a mother, grandmother, or even great-grandmother having breast cancer can be interpreted as a factor for the likelihood of the next generation having breast cancer. Although studies show that unless you have mutations in the genes BRCA1 and/or BRCA2 you might never have breast cancer. Though these genes are hereditary in some cases it is not. Some cases of breast cancer are due to spontaneous gene mutation. Women with or without the knowledge of these inherited and spontaneous genes are still going through extreme measures to avoid ever getting breast cancer.

These women are undergoing what is called a masectomy. Also used as a treatment for breast cancer, a mastectomy is performed to remove all breast tissue, leaving only the nipple and areola. Often during the same procedure, a breast implant is placed, in order to replace the breast tissue lost. A masectomy might not seem like an option for some of us but for others, it is an only option. By finding a skilled plastic surgeon Los Angeles breast cancer patients can look forward to the fact that they can still have a beautiful, shapely body, even if they’ve lost their breasts to cancer. Plastic surgery Los Angeles & beyond has helped both women and men with more than just looks. It has been proven over and over that plastic surgery can be implemented not only for shallow reasons, but also for self preservation.

Most satisfied plastic surgery Los Angeles patients say they have fallen back in love with their bodies. For most women if we look pretty on the outside we feel pretty on the inside. For some women plastic surgery has allowed for the correction of all our self image problems. We can pretty much fix anything we’re unhappy with cosmetically through the use of plastic surgery. While some women criticize those who have had plastic surgery, many more others embracing it. I personally believe in the fact that one’s body is his or hers alone, and he or she has the right to change it. If plastic surgery gives you the confidence and beauty you’ve always wished for, then why be ashamed of a little nip/tuck?

Many women are uncomfortable with the size of their breasts. Whether too big, too small, too low, or too uneven, with breast augmentation Los Angeles women are able to get the proportional chest size they’ve always desired and feel more comfortable in their own skin. Small breast especially are difficult to accept in our society. Women with smaller breasts have been teased and ridiculed throughout history, and have even been accused of being underdeveloped – not a real woman. This can be very harsh on one’s self-esteem and self-image, often worsening with age. Many women say, if given the option to change anything about their bodies, they would choose larger breasts. Now with breast implants Los Angeles women no longer have to relive the memory of the high school kids tormenting them.

Likewise with breast reduction, breast lift, or other breast enhancement procedures, women are able to feel at ease with the size of their chest, wear better-fitting clothes, and even swimsuits.
And men should not be counted out from feeling self-conscious about their appearance as well. As we age our bodies begin to change, our metabolism slows down, and it becomes harder to maintain a good healthy physique like we used to. Excess fat begins to develop around problem areas such as the midsection, thighs, arms, buttocks, and neck, and this is not easily rid through regular diet and exercise. Liposuction can rid us of these stubborn fat pockets quickly and almost pain-free. Similarly, when we age, our skin loses it’s elasticity. It does not bounce back to shape like it used to. For this reason, men and women who have experienced massive weight loss, or women who have recently given birth, may noticed excess skin that cannot be put back into shape. This can be uncomfortable as well as unhygienic.
