What is breast augmentation surgery (breast enlargement)?
Breast Augmentation is an operation to enlarge, or change the shape of a woman’s breasts. This is done by putting saline implants under the breast tissue or under one of the chest wall muscles (explained below.) Breast augmentation surgeries are some of the most common procedures done in the United States each year, and a majority of patients are very satisfied with their results. A majority of patients also state that they recommend this procedure to others and report a positive benefit in how they view their bodies. Hopefully, by reading this information and working with your plastic surgeon, you can decide whether this surgery is right for you.
