Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to increase the volume and shape of the breasts. It is usually performed using silicone or saline (salt water) implants. Breast augmentation is designed to achieve a fuller, more aesthetically pleasing breast shape while preserving the natural appearance of the breasts.
Methods of Breast Augmentation
- Implant Selection: Implants used in breast augmentation are usually silicone or saline. Silicone implants provide a more natural feel and appearance, while saline implants are a less risky and more cost-effective option.
- Implant Placement: Implants can be placed under the breast (submuscular) or above the breast (subglandular). The choice depends on your personal preferences and the surgeon’s recommendations.
- Incision Sites: The incision sites where the implant is placed are usually made around the nipple, in the lower breast crease, or in the armpit area. These incisions are designed to leave minimal scarring.
