Breast Augmentation

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to increase the volume and shape of the breasts. The most commonly used method is silicone breast implants. In some cases, breast augmentation can also be performed using fat injection from the patient's own body.

Breast augmentation surgery helps breasts appear fuller, symmetrical, and more aesthetic.

How is Breast Augmentation Performed?

Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and takes 1-2 hours. The surgeon makes a small incision under the breast, around the nipple, or in the armpit to place the implant. The implant can be placed under the breast tissue or under the muscle.

In fat injection breast augmentation, fat tissue taken from another part of the body is processed and injected into the breast.

After surgery, patients typically stay in the hospital for one day or overnight. There may be mild swelling and sensitivity in the first few days.
