BREAST
AUGMENTATION
Breast augmentation is a surgery designed to enlarge the breasts. This surgery is frequently sought by women who are unhappy with the small size of their breasts, sometimes after pregnancy or weight loss.
If you're considering breast augmentation, the following information will provide you with a good introduction to the procedure.
Breast augmentation is usually quite successful at making the breasts larger and fuller. The results may not look exactly like 'natural' larger breasts; implanted breasts tend to be a bit more round and less saggy than natural breasts of the same size. Most women find these differences to be an improvement.
Breast augmentation consists of making an incision, lifting the breast tissue, creating a pocket in the chest/breast area, and placing an envelope containing a soft, natural feeling implant material underneath.
An incision may be made in any one of the following places: the crease below the breast, around the areola, under the armpit, or, very rarely, through the navel.
The implants can be placed either under the chest muscle or directly under the breasts. Placement considerations include the anatomy of your breasts, soreness after surgery, exercise activities (upper body strength and conditioning sports such as weightlifting, tennis, volleyball and others) and interference with mammograms.
Although several implants are available at the present time, the implant being used for nearly all breast augmentation surgeries is made of a silicone rubber sack filled with a saline solution.FOR FURTHER DETAILS CONTACT
