What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts. This procedure can vary in technique, with one of the most common methods being the use of implants. The implants are typically made of silicone gel or saline and are inserted under the chest muscle.

Candidates for this procedure are usually individuals who are dissatisfied with the size or shape of their breasts and wish to enhance their appearance. It is important for candidates to have realistic expectations and understand the potential risks and benefits involved.
