There are several reasons a woman would opt to have breast augmentation, two of the most popular are reconstructive surgery and cosmetic appearance.
Yes there are clinical trials for breast augmentation. Generally they use volunteers with special needs, such as women who have had breast cancer surgery or a severe injury to the breast, women with a birth defect affecting the breast or a medical condition causing breast abnormality and sometimes women with an existing implant that needs to be replaced.
Breast augmentation is not recommended for women who would like to breast feed in the future. It has been found that women who have had breast augmentation are three time more likely to have difficulties with lactation as compared with women who have not had augmentation.
Most women who undergo Breast implant surgery fall into one of two groups. The largest group comprises women in their thirties with children. They have noticed a loss in skin tone with sagging of the breast. They often notice a decrease in size of the breast (most noticeable in the upper and outer portion). Sometimes the breast augmentation procedure is combined with a breast lift. The second group consists of women in their twenties who want larger breasts to balance the rest of their body. == == Last but not least. The ideal candidate for breast augmentation surgery is a healthy adult who is well informed about the results and risks of receiving breast implants. An ideal candidate for breast augmentation will also have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery.

Some women don't like having large breasts, so they get some of the tissue in their breasts taken out. Also, if you have large breasts and a petite body, you can develop back problems and posture issues. Hope that answers your question,Deezy3
Breast augmentation surgery (or enlargement) is generally performed on women with underdeveloped breasts or on women who have experienced a decrease in breast size or shape due to pregnancy or weight loss. The surgery consists of lifting the breast tissue and placing an envelope containing a soft, natural-feeling implant material underneath the pectoral muscle.
It depends on what type of augmentation you're referring to. A breast augmentation surgery is a surgical procedure where a saline or silicone breast implant is placed underneath the breast itself or breast and chest muscle. This procedure is designed to increase the size of the breast as well as improve the shape. This procedure is the most commonly performed surgical procedure in United States. Nearly 350,000 women undergo this procedure by plastic surgeons alone every year. Currently there're over 8 million women who have breast implants in the United States.
Some women want big breast surgery because they are unhappy with the breasts they were given. So, they opt for getting their breasts surgically enhanced.
