Breast size is not important to every woman, but some individuals feel that small breasts not only limit their fashion choices, but can cause dissatisfaction with body image. Women who choose breast implants to enlarge their breasts do so to improve their self image. Some feel dissatisfied because their breasts never developed to a size that meets their expectations.
