What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and fullness through strategic implant placement. This customizable procedure helps women achieve improved body proportions and increased self-confidence.

Types of Breast Augmentation

Implant-Based Augmentation

This method involves placing silicone or saline implants either behind breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. Key benefits include:

Noticeable size increase
Enhanced breast shape
Customizable implant options

Fat Transfer Augmentation

Fat grafting uses the patient's own fat, harvested from other body areas, to increase breast volume. This technique offers a more natural enhancement with subtle results.

Implant Types and Considerations

Saline Implants

FDA-approved for women 18 and older, saline implants are filled after insertion, allowing for smaller incisions and adjustable sizing during surgery.

Silicone Implants

Recommended for women with thin tissue, silicone implants provide a softer, more natural feel. They are FDA-approved for women 22 and older.

Implant Placement Options

Sub-Glandular Placement

Implants are placed between chest muscle and breast tissue, offering shorter surgery and faster recovery. However, implants may be more visible in patients with minimal breast tissue.

Sub-Muscular Placement

Implants are positioned under the chest muscle, creating a more concealed appearance and reducing visibility through the skin.

Common Questions

Cost and Recovery

Breast augmentation costs typically range from $5,000 to $10,000. Recovery experiences vary, with most patients experiencing manageable discomfort that diminishes within days after surgery.
