Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement or breast enhancement, is a surgical procedure that aims to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts. This is done by inserting breast implants either above or below the chest muscles, or by transferring fat from other areas of the body to the breasts.

Breast augmentation is often performed for cosmetic reasons, to enhance the appearance of breasts that are considered too small or asymmetrical. It can also be used to restore breast volume and shape after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.

Breast implants are available in different shapes, sizes, and materials, such as silicone or saline. The choice of implant depends on the patient's body type, preferences, and desired outcome. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, and recovery time can vary depending on the individual case.

It is important to note that breast augmentation, like any surgical procedure, carries certain risks and potential complications, such as infection, bleeding, implant rupture or leakage, and changes in nipple or breast sensation. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits of breast augmentation with a qualified plastic surgeon and make an informed decision based on individual circumstances.
