Study Shows Breast Augmentation and Body Contouring May Improve Sex Life
WebMD Health News
Cosmetic surgery — including breast augmentation and body contouring — is known to make people look younger and feel better about themselves. Now new research suggests that it may also improve sex life and the ability to achieve orgasm.
The greatest sexual benefits were seen in women who underwent breast augmentation, breast lift, or body contouring procedures, according to the study, which appears in the January/February issue of the Aesthetic Surgery Journal.
“For the longest time, tons of data were published about how plastic surgery enhances body image and restores self-confidence. And it was kind of known that if someone feels better about themselves, they become more sexual. But we never had the data to show it until now.
“We don’t want the populace to think, ‘Hey, if I have my breasts done, I will have more sex,’” he says. “You don’t have cosmetic surgery to have better sex. This is just an added perk.”
Better Sex, More Powerful Orgasms
Of 70 women who completed a survey, more than 95% reported improvements in body image regardless of the type of cosmetic surgery they had undergone. After surgery, 81% of the 26 breast surgery respondents and 68% of the 25 body surgery patients said they experienced improvements in sexual satisfaction, compared to 32% percent of the 19 facial surgery patients.
And that goes for their partners too, the study showed. Seventy-three percent of breast surgery patients and 56% of body surgery patients said that their partner’s sex life had also improved as a result of their surgery.
What’s more, women who underwent body-contouring surgeries reported having an orgasm more easily following the procedure.
“It’s quite possible that we may make changes in female anatomy that may lead to enhanced orgasm as well,” he says.

I completely agree with this!!! I myself had Breast Augmentation about 7 months ago and my sex life has definitely increased!!! It is due to the fact that I feel a lot more confident about myself, where as before I was always self conscious about my breast!! So out of all the perks I have to say this is one of the best!!

Definitely Ladies! I heard from my husband the whole… “don’t do it honey!! I love you just the way you are.” Well, i didn’t like what i saw in the mirror and even tho my husband was resistant to me having surgery I knew i needed to do something to boost my confidence and feel better about my body. Let me tell you i couldn’t have made a better decision. And my husband didn’t do any resisting towards my new boobies. He loves them and this new confidence boost has improved our relationship in many ways! So Ladies go ahead and do it for yourself, he wont complain when he sees your results.
