Nearly 300,000 American women opt for a breast augmentation every year to give their look&#8211;and maybe even their sex lives&#8211;a boost (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.plasticsurgery.org\/news\/2016\/new-statistics-reflect-the-changing-face-of-plastic-surgery.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). So are implants the magical antidote to a vanilla sex life? Not exactly, but they can help women to feel more sexually satisfied and confident in their own skin, which may, in turn, promote a higher quality of life.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Numbers Don\u2019t Lie<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to a poll conducted on RealSelf, the largest online community of women and men who have had or are considering plastic surgery, 70 percent of participating women who have had a breast augmentation report an improved overall sex life by at least 34 percent. Additionally, a whopping 61 percent of women with implants say that they have sex more frequently now than they did before their breast enhancement (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.realself.com\/press\/breast-enhancements-better-sex-life-survey-shows\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RealSelf Press Release<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s certainly no coincidence that so many women report improved sexual satisfaction, better intimate relationships, and more frequent sex following breast implants. So what\u2019s behind the connection? Most experts agree that the link between breast enhancement and an improved sex life has everything to do with self-esteem.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Breast Implants and Self-Esteem<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Numerous studies have shown that breast implants can significantly increase a woman\u2019s self-confidence by helping her build a positive body image. In fact, when surveyed, 92 percent of women reported an improved self-esteem following breast augmentation, and 64 percent said that they\u2019ve noticed an improved quality of life (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.plasticsurgery.org\/news\/2013\/breast-augmentation-patients-report-high-satisfaction-rates.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Society of Plastic Surgeons<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But one important factor seems to be common among these women: they\u2019ve also maintained realistic expectations about what breast implants could and could not do. Research shows that there is a direct correlation between reasonable expectations prior to plastic surgery and overall satisfaction with results and an improved quality of life (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.apa.org\/monitor\/sep05\/surgery.aspx\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">American Psychological Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting Implants for the Right Reasons<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although breast implants have been linked with a boost in sex life and intimate relationships, it\u2019s important to note that your decision to get a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierplasticsurgerypa.com\/breast-procedures-pittsburgh\/breast-augmentation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">breast augmentation<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> needs to be for the right reasons. Implants won\u2019t be a miracle cure for all of your relationship problems, nor can they solve underlying psychological issues. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep in mind that your breast augmentation should not be for your partner or to keep up with your friends. It should be solely for you&#8211;to make you happier and enjoy life more. When done for the right reasons, breast implants can help to promote a positive body image while still maintaining your natural body proportions. The idea is to enhance your already beautiful features, not to cover them up or change who you are.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Taking the Next Step<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Women considering a breast augmentation should consult a reputable board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss their unique needs and goals in detail with a professional. Your initial consultation will give you a chance to address any questions or concerns you might have, and can also help you to determine if breast implants are right for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At <\/span>Premier Plastic Surgery &amp; Dermatology<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in Pittsburgh and Wexford, our board-certified plastic surgeon <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierplasticsurgerypa.com\/plastic-surgery-staff-pittsburgh\/dr-brian-v-heil\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Brian Heil<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has ample experience and training, which, combined with his focus on client satisfaction and attention to detail, make him one of the top Pittsburgh plastic surgeons.
