Breast Reduction Improves Self-Esteem

There have been many debates over the years about whether or not you can improve the way that you feel about yourself by getting a "boob job". Some say that breast augmentation makes them feel more secure in their bodies and therefore increases their confidence and self-esteem. Others insist that breast augmentation is a temporary fix for self-esteem problems and that it won't last over time.

The debate in that area of plastic surgery will continue on. But what's interesting is that a related surgery does seem to have marked effects on improving self-esteem. Women who opt to get breast reduction surgery seem to report that the benefits go way beyond the physical comfort of a smaller breast size and actually can help to improve the way that the patient feels emotionally.

There is definitely a physical benefit to getting breast reduction surgery. The same study that looked at self-esteem also looked at functionality and revealed that breast reduction does increase the physical functioning abilities of the patient. However, there is definitely some value to the fact that the surgery also helps to improve the way that the patient feels about herself.

Question of the Day: Why does breast reduction surgery lead to increased self esteem?
