Breast enhancement procedures have long been some of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures. Breast enhancement typically includes breast lift surgery, breast reduction surgery, and breast augmentation. Los Angeles women are among many in the United States who turn to breast implants to help improve their body contours by increasing the size of their breasts.

According to a recent report published by the ASPS (American Society of Plastic Surgeons), plastic surgery has increased in popularity, up 2 percent from 2009 to 2010. Breast augmentation took the number 1 spot for the most popular cosmetic procedure in 2010, with 296,000 procedures performed. It is no surprise that breast augmentation is the top procedure of 2010, as more women are enjoying the benefits of a rebounding economy and are taking steps to improve their appearance and self-esteem.

Here are a few of my thoughts as to why breast augmentation continues to remain such a common cosmetic procedure:

  • The procedure is generally straightforward and quick.
  • Recovery time from a breast augmentation is significantly less than other procedures such as a tummy tuck.
  • Women have several options for the procedure, including incision location, type of implant, shape of implant, and more.
  • Breast augmentation is a relatively affordable cosmetic procedure.

I’d like to hear your opinions and thoughts on breast augmentation. Why do you believe it is so popular?
