Breast Augmentation

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation surgery consists of meticulous placement of a breast prosthesis in efforts to enhance the size, projection and appearance of the native breast. The location of the implant (above or under the muscle), type of implant (silicone versus saline) and size of implant (cc’s/volume) are carefully selected after close examination of the patient’s specific anatomy and thorough discussion of options including the patient’s preference. Breast implants do require periodic monitoring to ensure the device is intact and are not considered lifetime devices.
