Breast augmentation
Specialty of Surgery
Breast augmentation or mammoplasty is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the size and volume of the breasts. Normally, surgery is recommended with implants in both breasts to make them more symmetrical. A breast enlargement operation is performed by making a small incision around the areola or in the fold under the breast or armpit. Through the incisions on each breast, breast tissue is lifted and breast implants are inserted under the chest muscle. The implants can be silicone or saline implants and they come in various shapes, generally round, oval or anatomical. Currently, there are prostheses with a rough textured surface to provide a more natural look. The incision scar for breast surgery is practically invisible.
