Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of a person's breasts. It typically involves inserting implants—either silicone or saline—underneath the breast tissue or chest muscle. People choose this procedure for various reasons, including improving self-esteem, restoring breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy, or achieving a different breast size. The surgery usually takes about an hour and is performed under anesthesia. While it can lead to satisfying results, potential risks include complications, such as infections or implant issues, so thorough consultation with a qualified surgeon is essential.
