How is Augmentation Mammaplasty performed?
Breast enlargement is performed by making a space behind the breast, usually behind the pectoral muscle and placing a breast implant (prosthesis) into this space. The implant can be inserted via the crease under the breast, through the nipple or through the armpit. The surgery needs to be individualised in relation to the type and size of implant used, the anatomical space created and the placement of the scar. The choice will depend on the patients bodily shape, her breast shape and size, her chest shape and her expectations. The breast tissue itself is not operated on. The implant is simply placed behind the breast to give it more projection and fullness.
