Breast Augmentation / Enlargement ( Mammoplasty )This is done to enlarge an underdeveloped breast or breast that become small and loose after child birth. Breast augmentation is performed to balance a difference in breast size, improve body contour or as a post-surgery reconstructive technique. Silicone shells filled with saline solution are implanted either directly under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle, giving breasts a fuller and more natural contour. The methods for inserting and positioning implants depend on the patient's anatomy and doctor recommendations. Incisions are made in as inconspicuous an area as possible - usually the armpit, around the areola (nipple area), or under the breast itself to minimize visible scarring. Working through these incisions, the doctor lifts the breast tissue and inserts the implant. It is then centered beneath the nipple, either under or above the pectoral muscle. Breast augmentation has been available for over 40 years. The surgical techniques and breast implants themselves are continuously being refined, increasing the safety and reliability of the procedure. Breast augmentation will make your breasts fuller and enhance their shape. In addition, you will find it easier to wear certain styles of clothing and swim wear. Like many women who have had breast augmentation, you will experience a terrific boost in self esteem.
