Successful breast augmentation hinges on realistic expectations. Patients often have specific size preferences influenced by societal norms. Open communication during consultations is vital to ensure a clear understanding between patients and our plastic surgeons, fostering realistic expectations for the desired outcome.

Thorough consultations help determine the most natural and harmonious result for each individual.

Recognizing the psychological impact of breast augmentation is essential. While the procedure aims to boost self-esteem, external changes may not guarantee internal contentment. Size satisfaction intertwines physical appearance with emotional well-being, emphasizing the importance of aligning expectations.
