What is breast enlargement?
Breast enlargement or augmentation enhances the size and/or shape of the breast with the insertion of silicone implants behind the breast. Women choose to have breast augmentation surgery for a number of reasons. Some women want larger breasts, while others wish to correct a volume reduction occurring after pregnancy. Some women desire to correct an asymmetry in breast size. You can determine your desired size by fitting trial implants available at your doctor’s office. Best cosmetic results are achieved with an incision hidden in your armpit and with the implants placed beneath your chest wall muscle, the pectoralis major. Silicone implants are commonly used as they afford a more natural look and feel. The patient will be instructed in breast massage or compression which has to be followed twice a month for at least 1 year. This is for the purpose of reducing the chances of capsular contracture.
