Good candidates for breast augmentation include those who are bothered by the feeling that their breasts are too small.

It is thus worth indicating that the basic sine qua non of the operation, which is as well justifiable for all types of the plastic surgery operations, resides in the fact that the best candidates are those who are mature enough to fully understand the procedure and have realistic expectations about the results.
