Breast Augmentation
What Is A Breast Augmentation?
A breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast volume, shape, and proportion using implants. Patients seek breast augmentation for a variety of reasons, including naturally smaller breast size, volume loss after pregnancy or weight changes, or asymmetry between the breasts.
The goal of a breast augmentation is not simply to increase size, but to create breasts that are proportionate to the body, balanced in shape, and natural in appearance. A thoughtful approach to implant selection and placement is essential to achieving results that feel harmonious rather than artificial.
How Does Breast Augmentation Work?
Breast augmentation works by placing implants to restore or enhance breast vo lume and contour.
Implants are selected based on body frame, breast anatomy, and aesthetic goals. Incisions are placed in discreet locations, such as beneath the breast fold or around the areola, to minimize visible scarring. Implants are positioned either beneath the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on anatomy and desired outcome. - The breasts are shaped to create natural contour, symmetry, and proportion.
