Breast Augmentation (breast enlargement) Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery, also known as breast enlargement surgery or augmentation mammaplasty, is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure to accentuate the size and shape of a woman's breast with silicone gel or saline-filled implants. While breast augmentation surgery will make the breasts larger, the procedure will not move the breasts closer together or lift sagging breasts.

Breast augmentation surgery is a tremendous help to patients who desire a fuller profile, and is most commonly performed:

• to enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small or out of proportion to her body
• to restore breast volume loss due to weight loss or following pregnancy
• to achieve better symmetry when breasts are moderately disproportionate in size and shape
• to improve the size and shape of breasts that are sagging or have lost firmness when used with a breast lift (mastopexy) procedure
