Are such sacrifices necessary?
Mammoplasty allows a woman to get the desired shape and size of her breasts.
Every woman must decide whether to do it or not, since this is a rather serious and responsible step that can change a lot, and not only in appearance.
Quite often, after breast correction, women’s self-confidence increases. This is a purely psychological pattern that arises after improving the body.
Before you decide to undergo mammoplasty, you need to know about its main advantages.
The advantages of this operation are:
- improving the appearance of the breasts will help increase the attention of others, in particular men;
- reducing the risk of developing breast cancer;
- increasing self-esteem and self-confidence;
- getting rid of possible complexes.
Oh, what a gorgeous size...
Ask men what is the best female breast size. Believe me, all answers will be different. Some people like small breasts, while others' hearts skip a beat at the sight of a large and lush bust. It turns out that adapting to the preferences of the male sex is simply pointless: you won’t have an operation every time you change your admirer?
The norm is considered to be female breasts from size 1 to 5, so you need to focus on these indicators. You need to correctly determine your breast size like this:
- Using a measuring tape, take measurements along the convex parts of the chest (without any push-up);
- Measure the circumference under the bust. The lower points of the chest are measured; it is advisable not to tighten the measuring tape too much.
To find out your size, you need to subtract the smaller number from the larger number.
It is recommended to enlarge healthy breasts by no more than 2 sizes, since the area of tissue required for high-quality coverage of implants is only sufficient for this volume. You can, of course, “swing” by 3-4 sizes, but then the implant will be noticeable, problems in the form of silicone “slipping”, etc. are possible.
If the breast undergoes reconstructive surgery, the surgeon will proceed from the previous volumes.

What to do if you want to change your breast size?
Do you want smaller or larger breasts? You might consider downsizing or increasing.
If you want to reduce your breasts
If you want to reduce your breasts, then you can look into breast reduction.
The plastic surgeon will remove excess tissue, fat and skin to create a smaller bust.
Your surgeon will schedule a consultation to examine your breasts. He will assess whether you are healthy enough for surgery and determine if a reduction is suitable for you.
If you want an increase
If you want to enlarge your breasts, you can get breast augmentation, also known as getting implants or a "boob job."
A plastic surgeon will increase the size of your breasts by inserting artificial implants or transferring fat from another area of your body.
As with any other surgical procedure, it is important to have a qualified, board-certified surgeon perform your augmentation.
You should also schedule a consultation with your surgeon before proceeding with the procedure. This will allow you to ask any questions you have.
Bottom line
When it comes to your health and well-being, matching your average breast size is not as important as matching your individual comfort level.
You can be perfectly happy with the size of your breasts, no matter how they compare to others.
You can also explore different clothing styles, bra types, and even makeup to change the appearance of your breasts and boost your self-confidence.

When to think about surgical correction
Women do breast size 3 mammoplasty not as often as size zero or size 1, when the mammary glands are very small.

Despite this, even with this size there are special indications for breast correction.
Experts advise doing mammoplasty in the following cases:
- congenital asymmetry of the mammary glands (when one breast is located higher than the other);
- sagging breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding, which not only does not decorate, but also causes physical discomfort to the woman;
- prevention of the development of diseases that may arise due to large mammary glands;
- removal of one mammary gland after detection of a tumor in it;
- sagging breasts associated with age-related changes (impaired skin elasticity and muscle elasticity);
- hypertrophy;
- change in breast shape.
Are there other conditions associated with breast size?
There are a number of conditions that can affect your breasts, including cysts, inflammation (mastitis) and skin conditions such as eczema and acne.
These conditions are also associated with other risk factors, such as genetics and hormones, rather than breast size.
However, people who have large, heavy breasts may experience some unwanted side effects as a result.
Large breasts can cause shoulder, neck and back pain, as well as headaches, shortness of breath and problems with posture.
Enlargement mammoplasty up to breast size 3
Enlargement mammoplasty up to the third breast size is quite popular, but it is not suitable for everyone.
This is justified by the fact that large silicone implants (with a volume of 200 ml or more) are used for breast size 3.
If the patient is too thin, then such large prostheses will look unnatural on her chest.
This may create a feeling of artificiality, which is extremely undesirable with mammoplasty, which strives to correct the breasts in the most natural way.
In addition, with a narrow chest, it will be quite difficult for a surgeon to implant artificial mammary glands, since there will be too little muscle tissue covering them.
As a result, the postoperative suture may not heal for a long time, and the breast itself may be too “tight” and hard. This, in turn, will cause the woman constant discomfort.
To prevent this from happening, plastic surgeons, in most cases, themselves select for patients the appropriate size and shape of implants that will look best after surgery.

Why might the temperature rise after mammoplasty? The answer is here.
Also, it is the doctors who determine what the surface of the implant will be and how they will be introduced into the patient (there are different methods for making incisions).
For this reason, it is recommended to find an experienced surgeon who can correctly calculate the size of the “new” breast.
Increasing the second breast size
Significantly enlarging size 2 breasts can only be done through plastic surgery.
But only a few women decide to take such a step, since in addition to the high cost, the prospect of carrying a foreign body in oneself appeals to few people.
You can increase your second breast size through physical exercise, an adjusted diet, special care for the mammary glands and through cosmetic preparations.
- A course of physical exercises. To ensure that your breasts always look toned, you need to have strong pectoral muscles. To do this, you need to do several exercises, such as push-ups, arm swings, weight lifting and others. As stated in the previous article, you need to perform such workouts three times a week.
- Diet. The mammary glands and their size are determined by the volume of fatty tissue in them. In addition, a woman’s hormonal background influences breast growth. Therefore, you need to eat foods rich in healthy fats every day. And you can improve your hormonal levels with foods that contain a lot of plant hormones like estrogens.
- Water procedures and massage. To improve blood flow and nutrition of the mammary glands, you can perform contrast shower procedures and then perform a simple breast massage. These actions perfectly tone and improve the shape and relief of the breasts.
- Many cosmetic products have been developed for breast growth, which contain plant and natural female hormones, which the woman’s body often lacks.
If you follow all the methods comprehensively, the results will not take long to arrive.
What size 3 breasts look like before and after surgery
Before surgery, size 3 breasts already look quite large, but often their appearance is greatly spoiled by excessive sagging.
Because of this, the mammary glands appear flat and unattractive. They seem to lack elasticity.
For this reason, during mammoplasty, surgeons often not only correct the shape of the breast, but also tighten it, making it more elastic.
If you simply insert an implant into the breast of a size 3 patient (without a lift), then her mammary glands may end up looking like hanging, stuffed pears, which is certainly not the height of beauty.
After surgery, breasts with size 3 become fuller and rounder. Thanks to perfectly straight implants, the surgeon can correct all imperfections and defects.

What does breast size zero look like?
Many people know what breast size zero looks like. Ladies who think that a small bust does not look beautiful are deeply mistaken, because thanks to it they manage to emphasize their own femininity and sexuality. Neat small breasts look very erotic. Someone can argue and say that men only value large breasts in their ladies, which directly “fall out” of their dresses for everyone to see. It’s hard to disagree with this; young boys are attracted to large sizes, but with age they begin to realize that a woman loses her shape over the years and her breasts may sag in a couple of years. What will happen to the size zero owner? It’s okay, she will still have neat mammary glands that attract the attention of men with their neatness and beauty of shape.
A third of women become owners of zero breast size. Often, miniature mammary glands do not stand out against the background of the chest. This size is called AA, and it occurs due to genetic factors or hormonal imbalances. Those who believe that zero breasts are a disease are deeply mistaken.
Owners of three mammary glands
One of the owners of three mammary glands, who has become known almost throughout the world, is the American 21-year-old girl Jasmine Trideville. She underwent plastic surgery to implant a third breast in order not to attract the opposite sex and, at the same time, gained enormous popularity on Internet resources and television shows.
Another equally famous American girl named Maria Alaimo also had surgery and added a third breast. True, after this procedure she was horrified when she saw incorrectly placed sutures and large swelling, and the surgeon disappeared somewhere without a trace. Despite the fact that he was finally found and paid her financial compensation, the girl regretted the operation more than once.
Woman with third breast
Jasmine claimed that her parents were not happy with their daughter’s experiments. Her third breast is too exotic
even for various shows and attractions, not to mention everyday life.
When this story became public, Marc Hartzman, author of the book American Sideshow, noted that such an operation would have been impossible to do at the beginning of the last century. This kind of plastic surgery simply did not exist.
According to Hartzman, people are not born with such anomalies, and even in various sideshows you are unlikely to meet an actress with triple breasts
. Therefore, he questioned the presence of a third breast.
Initially, fans who believed in the veracity of the young American woman’s statements suggested that the girl made such an unusual decision after watching the film “Total Recall.”
(“Total recall”), in which one of the heroines at one time simply shocked the audience with the presence of a third breast.
It is worth noting that there are many who from the very beginning questioned the authenticity of Jasmine’s breasts, calling her photographs fiction and deception.
Why exactly the girl came up with this whole farce remains a mystery. It is quite possible to become famous. After all, as it became known, Alisha dreamed of becoming a famous model since childhood.
It is worth noting that after this story with exposure at the airport, the girl simply stopped answering calls from journalists.
