Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase and enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast. It is also known as Breast Enlargement, Breast Implants or Augmentation Mammaplasty. The end result is a more curvaceous, sexy bust line and a natural, sculpted look.
This procedure can increase the fullness of your breasts, improve the balance and symmetry of your breasts and enhance your self-confidence and self-esteem. Breast Augmentation is popular with women who desire larger breasts and with women who have sagging breasts after breast-feeding. Breast implants are also useful in the reconstruction of breasts after cancer surgery or congenital breast deformity.
During this procedure, an incision is made around the areola, the dark circle of skin surrounding the nipple, or in the fold of the breast. A silicone implant is carefully inserted either under or above the pectoral, or chest wall, muscles. Once the implant is in place, the incision is stitched closed. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately one hour to complete. During recovery, patients typically experience breast sensitivity, soreness and swelling, but most side effects subside as the breasts heal (usually within four weeks).
