Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast Augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure designed to increase the size of breast through the use of saline or silicone gel filled implants. Breast implants come in a variety of sizes, shapes, textures, and may be placed either above or under the muscle. Breast implants may be placed using a couple different incision placements as well depending on the type and size of implant being used and if any other procedures are being performed at the same time. Breast augmentation may be performed on its own or in combination with other procedures, most commonly the breast lift or as part of a Mommy Makeover.

The Breast Augmentation procedure has helped countless women achieve the breast size they desire. Some women have never been happy with the size of breasts they were naturally given, other women use breast augmentation to correct a severe breast asymmetry (where one breast is significantly smaller than the other breast), or to increase breasts after they have decreased in size after fluctuations in weight or a pregnancy and nursing.
