Breast Implant Surgery
Breast implant surgery is the process of using artificial breast prostheses to increase breast size and/or change breast shape and symmetry.
Breast implants
come in a variety of
shapes,
sizes,
profiles
and materials and have been used in modern augmentation mammoplasty procedures since the 1960’s.
Breast augmentation surgery
has become one of the most popular cosmetic procedures and is also one of the most sought after specialties for doctors who practice
plastic
and
cosmetic surgery.

Types of Breast Implant Surgery
Breast enlargement
comes in a seemingly endless variety of procedures, each of which has been developed to offer a particular benefit. Surgical procedures can be described by their entry incision placement, implant material utilized or anatomical implant location. For example, a woman might undergo breast enlargement using an
inframammary
incision,
silicone cohesive gel implants
and
submuscular
placement. Sometimes, augmentation is combined with other surgical techniques, such as
mastopexy
or
nipple surgery
to offer a completely revitalized breast, all in one operation.

implant manufacturers.
However, finding a doctor who is a true artist when it comes to aesthetic breast surgery is another matter. Results can vary greatly and achieving a
natural
and beautiful look depends greatly upon the surgeon's experience and patience. Remember to

photos
of actual patients and make sure that the doctor can perform their best work on you.
