What to Expect with Breast Procedures:
Women with small or underdeveloped breasts and women who just want to enhance the size of their breast may choose to have a procedure called breast augmentation (mammoplasty). This procedure involves the surgical implantation of devices designed to increase size and fullness of the breasts. Many women seek not only to improve size by also symmetry and proportionality of the breasts. Many women find that a breast augmentation can increase their self-confidence and self-esteem.
There are currently two FDA approved breast implants to choose from saline (salt water filled) and silicone.
The implant or breast enlargement may be placed under or over the pectoral muscle. If you are having a saline implant inserted the implant will be filled to the desired size after insertion of the empty implant.
The most common plastic surgery breast procedures include breast enlargement or augmentation , primarily using saline implants, breast lift (mastopexy), and a breast reduction (macromastia).
