Breast Augmentation - Augmentation Mammoplasty

Breast augmentation is the name of the surgical procedure performed in order to enhance or enlarge a woman's breasts with the use of breast implants. It is also commonly referred to as Breast Implants Surgery and can be performed using saline or silicone breast implants, depending on the patients' desired look and feel.

Who Is An Ideal Candidate for Breast Augmentation Surgery?

There are many reasons why women consider breast augmentation surgery, ranging from the desire to have larger, more shapely breasts, to recovering breast shape and volume lost due to childbirth and age, to breast reconstruction after mastectomy. Candidates for breast augmentation are women who desire to enhance their body contour to fit their body shape, type and proportions. Breast augmentation may help a women to feel more self-confident about her body image.

Breast augmentation can also correct slightly sagging breasts or breasts that have lost volume due to pregnancy. The goal of surgery usually is to create a natural, fuller breast rather than one that appears "over augmented". Women that have a breast asymmetry, congenital abnormalities or have undergone a previous mastectomy may also be good candidates for breast augmentation, but may also require more specific procedures in conjunction with the breast augmentation surgery, such as the breast lift, breast reduction or breast implant re-visioning procedures.

Consult with your plastic surgeon to determine which procedure is right for you. If you don't have a breast implants surgeon, use the Surgeon Locator tool at Breast Implants USA to find a board certified breast implants surgeon in your area.
