Breast Augmentation (or augmentation mammaplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that uses implants to enlarge and shape the breasts.
Some of the reasons women seek breast enlargement surgery are to change the size or shape of their breasts, to bring balance when a breast that
is smaller than the other, and to correct a loss of volume or fullness after weight loss or pregnancy. Some women benefit from having a mastopexy
(breast lift) along with the augmentation when the breasts are saggy in addition to being small.
This procedure is performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. The incisions are small and usually located underneath the breast
just above the crease or around the lower edge of the areola to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible. After the incision has been made, the
surgeon creates a pocket into which the implant is inserted; either directly behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle.
