The reasons for a breast augmentation are as individual as the patients themselves. Deciding on a breast augmentation is a complex process shaped by individual considerations and personal motives. Aesthetic standards and the pursuit of self-fulfilment play an important role for women considering a breast augmentation.
The wish for a more harmonious body shape and for meeting personal ideals of beauty are decisive factors, as is the desire for greater self-confidence.
Experience and trust
Dr. Handl is known in Vienna as an expert in breast augmentation. Through individual consultations, Dr. Handl understands the specific needs and expectations of each patient and draws up a tailor-made treatment plan.
Evening out asymmetries
Taking into account asymmetry of the breasts caused by genetic factors is a sensitive approach of Dr. Handl's. With a breast augmentation, he aims for a balanced and symmetrical appearance. He also focuses on restoration after pregnancy and breastfeeding and supports women who want to regain the breast shape they had before pregnancy. Depending on the starting situation, a breast lift may also make sense.
A holistic view of individual wishes and careful planning of the procedure are characteristic of his way of working. Dr. Handl places great importance on women who decide on a breast augmentation being fully informed about the risks and benefits so that they can make a well-founded decision.
Other reasons for a breast augmentation
The decision for a breast augmentation is influenced by many different reasons. Women often see their breast shape as an integral part of their femininity and individuality. The opportunity to shape their own body according to their individual aesthetic ideas is an essential motivation.
Greater self-confidence in social situations and the influence of social media and digital platforms on ideals of beauty are further reasons. Women may feel influenced by beauty standards shaped by platforms such as Instagram and see a breast augmentation as a way of coming closer to these standards.
Physical changes with age, weight management and lifestyle changes also play a role. Women who are not satisfied with the effects of the natural ageing process or significant weight loss may consider a breast augmentation to restore their former appearance.
Medical indication
Medical reasons such as congenital breast anomalies or problems with breast development can also play a role. The decision for a breast augmentation is extremely personal, and a comprehensive consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon is crucial. The safety of the procedure plays an essential role, and modern surgical techniques and high-quality implants contribute to it. If there is a medical indication, the costs may be covered by health insurance or supplementary insurance.
