Movies, magazines, and social media all contribute to reinforcing this attitude. Also,\u00a0the increase in breast augmentations has certainly put the thought into a lot of women\u2019s minds, &#8220;Should I go bigger?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But, augmentation is not the answer or the desire for everyone. It&#8217;s important to recognize that the ideal bust size is subjective.
