What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness, add shapeliness and improve symmetry.
Breast augmentation is often paired with a breast lift to also correct sagginess. During breast augmentation surgery, breast implants are placed under the chest muscle or between the chest muscle and breast tissue through an incision around the nipple, under the breast or under the arm. Every breast implant placement and incision options are discussed in a personal consultation to help you make the best decision for your body.
Breast augmentation effectively treats undersized, asymmetrical, or misshaped breasts. Breast Augmentation is customized to shape, cup size, profile, texture and the desired filler material. It can also restore volume lost after pregnancy or significant weight loss.
