Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that increases the size of a woman’s breasts. A saline filled implant with a silicone shell is placed under the breast, which increases the breast size.
How is Breast Augmentation surgery performed?
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure that is performed under a general anesthesia. The introduction of saline filled implants allowed for a smaller incision, often less than just one inch underneath the breast and above the crease where it is well hidden. Some breast augmentation incisions are made by the lower edge of the areola, and incisions made within the armpit leaves no visible scars.
