Before trying plastic surgery for breast enlargement, you should consider what you wish to accomplish. There are ways you may accomplish what you wish without the breast-enlargement cost and pain. You may not have to do anything to your breasts if you symbolize the feminine to men in other ways.

What are you trying to accomplish? If you need big breasts for professional reasons -- if you are an actress for example -- then you already know if you need big breasts. If you are in sports, you already know you need small breasts. In neither case would you be reading this article. It is likely you are contemplating breast enlargement to be more attractive to men.

Do guys like big breasts? A great many seem to, but it's a cultural and individual matter, and many men don't care much one way or the other.

Currently in North America, many, if not most men are imprinted on breasts. In history, though, there have been periods when breasts have been considered erotic, and periods when they have not. Whenever and wherever breast-feeding is common, breasts are not eroticised. Wouldn't it be your rotten luck if La Leche were suddenly successful just after your surgery?

But at the moment large breasts are in, and it helps to understand why men would fixate on breasts.

Male sexuality is not personal. Heterosexual men are attracted to The Feminine. Men respond to what symbolizes Woman to them. A big component of male sexuality is visual, and boys entering puberty imprint on visual cues. Breasts are a good symbol for the feminine, and our society gives boys every encouragement to imprint on them.

Networks of neurons in our brains classify what we see. The more conspicuous the features they are programmed for, the stronger their response. Big breasts get a stronger response than small ones.

The biggest mistake you can make is to use this as the sole reason to have your breasts enlarged. That would be to rely on a gimmick to attract men, and the gimmick doesn't do enough.

I knew a woman once who had plastic surgery in hopes of attracting a man, but she was so needy, so much in pain from not having a relationship, that she was an emotional black hole -- absorbing all attention from others and giving none back. Need I say, she never got in a relationship in all the time I knew her.

Consider attracting a man to be an advertising problem. A formula for advertising is AIDA -- get their Attention, arouse their Interest, build their Desire, call them to Action. The attention and interest are wasted unless you make a compelling offer.

Breasts are at most the title of the sales letter. The compelling offer is YOU.

When you advertise yourself, you had better make the person you advertise some aspect of the person you really are. Deceptive advertising can make customers really angry. Men enter committed relationships wanting the woman they thought they were committing to. Most men take their commitments seriously, but despite the death-do-us-part vows, marriages are not always forever.

However, there are aspects of your nature you can develop and accentuate that will be almost irresistible to the kind of man you might want.

If you act with what has been called feminine grace, men will be attracted to you. Men respond to femininity of behavior as well as of physical appearance. Feminine grace is a confidence, an enjoyment of being a woman, a comfort in yourself and especially in your sexuality. It includes an appreciation of men as men. Grace is power.

Feminine grace handles the rest of you advertisement. It is a compelling offer that gets attention on its own. It doesn't require the gimmick of big breasts, and it comes without the pain and expense of breast enlargement surgery.
