Abstract: Despite the ban on silicone gel breast augmentation in 1992, the last decade experienced a remarkable boost in the number of cosmetic breast enhancement treatments carried out in the United States. Inning accordance with the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, over 132,000 ladies in this country underwent the treatment in 1998. This is an underestimate of the actual number of breast augmentations carried out each year, as increasing numbers of non-surgeon physicians are now performing cosmetic surgery. Provided the rising variety of females who now look for cosmetic breast augmentation surgery, it is likely that women's doctor will be asked by their patients about breast enhancement. This evaluation is designed to offer an introduction of the psychological and medical literature on cosmetic breast augmentation. We start with a history of breast augmentation, consisting of a summary of the controversy of silicone breast augmentation and the Institute of Medicine's report on their safety released in 1999. We also talk about the psychological characteristics of breast enhancement patients, evaluating both postoperative and preoperative studies. We conclude with recommendations for future research study as well as a conversation of the clinical importance of this area for women's healthcare specialists.
