Augmentation Mammoplasty
Augmentation Mammoplasty is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a person's breasts. This is typically achieved by placing implants filled with either saline or silicone gel under the breast tissue or chest muscles. The procedure is often sought for cosmetic reasons, such as improving body image or restoring breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy.
The surgery usually takes about one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Recovery time varies, but many patients can return to normal activities within a week. It's important for individuals to consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss risks, benefits, and expectations.
