Breast Augmentation Overview

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of a woman's breasts. This procedure can be performed using implants or fat transfer. Women may choose this surgery for various reasons, including improving self-esteem, restoring breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy, or achieving a more proportionate figure.

Types of Implants

There are two main types of breast implants: saline and silicone. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water, while silicone implants are filled with a gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Each type has its own benefits and considerations, and the choice often depends on personal preference and desired outcomes.
