| For women who desire more breast fullness, a breast augmentation is a good choice, and it can boost your self-image. This plastic surgery procedure remains one of the most popular procedures and has become increasingly common over the last several years.
Breast enlargement can enhance breast volume in women who have a small cup size naturally or who have lost volume after childbearing or weight loss. Breast implants can also be used for breast reconstruction after a mastectomy.
The implant used during breast augmentation surgery can either be saline or pre-filled silicone, and placed either below the muscle or behind the breast tissue.
Healing from breast augmentation surgery takes approximately 2 weeks, but some degree of swelling may persist for up to 4 weeks after the plastic surgery procedure. The incision which can be made under the breast, in the armpit or around the areola ultimately fades over a one year period. |
