FYI.: Life Makeover Secrets of the Modern Women

As women and busy moms, we want to be in the know, especially on issues that involve women, family and children. In this case, we wanted to share with you interesting results on a  survey done by the National Women's Health Resource Center called Life Makeover Secrets of the Modern Woman. It provides some interesting insight into how perceptions among women are changing about plastic surgery, specifically breast surgery. Back in 2006, breast surgery was the most commonly performed surgery on women in the United States...let's see why.

The survey results show that:

• More than half of women (59 percent) surveyed felt motivated to make over their lives after experiencing a life-changing event, such as major weight change (62 percent), childbirth (59 percent) or divorce/separation/end of a romantic relationship (55 percent).   


• The majority of women (95 percent) who wanted to make a change actually did so in at least one area of their lives: health or fitness (57 percent) and physical appearance (42 percent).


• Of those women motivated to improve their appearance, nearly half (45 percent) said they would consider plastic surgery to do so.


• Breasts are among the top five body parts women would change; more than half (53 percent) say they are more accepting of breast augmentation than they used to be.


• The survey also found that 88 percent of women believe that their breasts contribute to their overall feeling of femininity
