Breast Augmentation

breast augmentation information Breast augmentation is a popular plastic surgery procedure that is used to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast. It may enhance the body contour of a woman who feels her breasts are too small, to correct a reduction in breast volume, to balance a difference in breast size, or to reconstruct a breast after breast surgery.

The breast augmentation procedure consists of making an incision, lifting the breast tissue, creating a pocket in the chest/breast area, and placing an envelope containing a soft, natural feeling breast implant material underneath. The implants can be placed either under the chest muscle or directly under the breasts. Placement considerations include the anatomy of your breasts, soreness after surgery, exercise activities and interference with mammograms. The results may not look exactly like “natural” larger breasts; they tend to be a bit more round and less saggy than natural breasts of the same size. Most women find these differences to be an improvement to their appearance.
