Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgery procedures in the U.S. It can give women with small or unevenly sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of implants in the breast.

Women may elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic motivations, including balancing breast size and compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery. The procedure may be combined with others such as a breast lift for more satisfying results.

The procedure lasts one to two hours and is typically performed with general anesthesia.
