Breast
augmentation is a surgical
procedure that can
be used to enhance
the size and shape
of a woman's breast.
By inserting an implant
behind each breast,
surgeons are able to
lift or increase a
woman's bust line by
one or more bra cup
sizes. The procedure
can enhance the body
contour of a woman who, for personal reasons,
feels her breasts are too
small. It can also
be used to correct
a reduction in breast
volume after pregnancy.
A breast lift is a
similar procedure designed
to raise the existing
breasts.
Most women having breast augmentation surgery today receive either silicone or saline-filled implants. In the unlikely event that a saline implant leaks, the saltwater is harmlessly absorbed by the body. Silicone gel implants are also very popular for breast enhancement. You should discuss your choice of implant with your surgeon.
While
the majority of
women do not experience
complications,
you should discuss
each of them with
your physician
to make sure you
understand the
risks and consequences
of breast augmentation
or breast lift.
For
many women, the result
of breast augmentation
can be satisfying, even
exhilarating, as they
learn to appreciate their
fuller appearance. As
with all surgical procedures,
you should discuss all
potential risks and benefits
with your surgeon.
