Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. This procedure involves the placement of breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. The main reasons women choose breast augmentation include increasing the breast size for a more balanced figure, improving breast symmetry, and restoring breast fullness after weight reduction or pregnancy. There are various types of implants available, such as saline, silicone, and highly cohesive silicone gel, each offering different benefits and textures. The choice of implant type, size, and surgical technique will be customized based on the patient’s body type and aesthetic goals. The procedure typically takes one to two hours and is usually performed under general anesthesia. Recovery varies by individual but generally includes several weeks of reduced activity to allow the body to heal properly. Breast augmentation can significantly boost self-esteem and body image, making it one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide.
