For years, there has been an idealised perception of beauty. A woman should have a bust, waist and hip ratio that more or less represents an hourglass. This has become so ingrained in us that we go to great lengths to achieve this body of a “perfect” woman. Many women have resorted to intense workout regimens, body shapers and even surgery to make their bodies look “perfect”.

One of the most common cosmetic surgeries is breast augmentation. Plastic surgeon’s have become busy with women wishing to increase their bust size. Nevertheless, the number of women also opting to get their breast implants removed is also growing in number. A number of celebrities and influencers have come forward confessing to having their implants removed, some even saying that if they could go back, they would have opted not to have breast augmentation.
