Breast Augmentation

A breast augmentation procedure is performed on patients who wish to enlarge or change the shape of their breasts. Breast augmentation can also be used to achieve symmetry in women with shape or size differences in their breasts. The patient's breasts are enlarged by placing an implant behind each breast. The three basic types of breast implants are saline, silicone gel, and other implant types that are less common. Breast augmentation procedures are normally performed on women who are born with small breasts and wish to enlarge them.
