Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation – also known as breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty – involves the use of implants or fat transfers to give you fuller breasts or to restore your breast volume after weight reduction or pregnancy. For some women, this procedure means increasing their self-confidence, whilst others consider it to reconstruct the breast after undergoing a mastectomy or after an illness.
Whatever your reason, if you are dissatisfied with your breast size, augmentation surgery is a choice to consider as this will increase the fullness and projection of your breasts, improve the overall balance of your figure, and certainly help to boost your self-confidence.

Typical Uses
If you are dissatisfied with your breast size, augmentation surgery is a choice to consider. Breast augmentation can:
- Increase fullness and projection of your breasts
- Improve the balance of your figure
- Enhance your self-image and self-confidence
Breast augmentation is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfil someone else’s desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image. Nevertheless, this procedure can help improve your overall appearance by endowing your breasts with volume and fullness.
What It Entails
During breast augmentation surgery, incisions are made in an inconspicuous area to minimize visible scarring. Next, silicone breast implants – filled with an elastic gel – are inserted, either under the pectoral muscle or directly behind the breast tissue, over the pectoral muscle. Finally, the incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and using sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape to close the skin.

You should expect to have future visits with your plastic surgeon to discuss changes in your breasts. Over time, your breasts can change due to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal factors and gravity. If, after a period of years, you become dissatisfied with the appearance of your breasts, you may choose to undergo a breast lift or implant exchange to restore a more youthful contour.

Follow-Up Procedures
After getting breast augmentation surgery, follow up sessions may be needed to monitor your recovery. In some situations, it may not be possible to achieve optimal results with a single surgical procedure and another surgery may be necessary.
In some cases, when the breasts are also sagging, breast augmentation is best combined with breast lift surgery for better results.
