Cancer can be a scary thing. It is often fatal. Each year, more and more women are diagnosed with breast cancer. This disease is not fully understood. And like any cancer, it can be fatal, or it could be cured. After women go through this kind of cancer, they sometimes have to have parts of their mammary glands removed. This can cause scarring and leave a woman's chest disfigured, which is often a constant reminder to these women of the struggle that they went through.

Because of this, some of these women, get breast augmentation surgery. They get breast augmentation surgery because they want to restore what they used to have. In this instance breast augmentation surgery is not just cosmetic. It is restorative. It gives these women back what they once had, or close to it. It can help them move past and through the experience that they had fighting cancer. Of course not all women do this. And the reasons for getting this procedure are varied. But this kind of procedure can be very helpful to women that have gone through that struggle. It can give them back a part of what they lost during the fight against cancer.
