Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the size and/or shape of the breasts. It can be done with implants or fat grafting.
Implants
Implants are the most common type of breast augmentation. They are silicone or saline sacs that are inserted under the breast tissue or chest muscle. Implants can be placed through an incision in the crease under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit.
Fat grafting
Fat grafting is a procedure that uses fat from other parts of your body to increase the size of your breasts. The fat is removed through liposuction and then injected into the breasts.
Who is a good candidate for breast augmentation?
Women who are unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts may be good candidates for breast augmentation. You should be in good physical health and have realistic expectations about the results of surgery.
What is the recovery time for breast augmentation?
The recovery time for breast augmentation varies depending on the type of procedure and your individual healing process. Most women are able to return to work and their normal activities within a week or two.
Is breast augmentation right for me?
Only you can decide if breast augmentation is right for you. If you are considering breast augmentation, be sure to talk to a qualified plastic surgeon to discuss the risks and benefits of the procedure.
Here are some additional things to consider before making a decision:
- Your reasons for wanting breast augmentation. What do you hope to achieve by having surgery? Are you looking to increase your breast size, improve your breast shape, or both?
- Your expectations. It is important to have realistic expectations about the results of surgery. Breast augmentation can improve the size and shape of your breasts, but it cannot change your body type or make you look like someone else.
- The risks and benefits of surgery. Be sure to talk to your surgeon about the risks and benefits of breast augmentation before making a decision.
