Breast Enlargement, also known as augmentation, is a type of surgery performed to increase the size of the breasts. It’s a common breast shaping procedure that aims to enhance small or asymmetrical breasts. Breast augmentation can be done using either breast implants or fat transfer. Implants are placed either under the chest muscles or within the breast tissue, while fat transfer involves using the patient’s own fat. This surgery is often chosen to address issues such as post-pregnancy or breastfeeding-related deformities, age-related sagging, or very small or asymmetrical breasts. It can also be performed for patients who have lost their breasts due to breast cancer surgery. Breast augmentation is typically not performed before the age of 18 to allow for full breast development. Patients considering this surgery must be over 18 years old. Rare complications include implant rupture or leakage. During the recovery process, patients may experience pain, bruising, and swelling, but these are usually manageable. The breasts may be sensitive to physical contact or jarring movements during the healing period.
