Breast augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgery performed to increase the size of the breasts. It involves placing breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles.
For some women, breast augmentation is a way to improve their confidence. For others, it is part of breast reconstruction due to various medical conditions.
Breast augmentation may help you with the following:
• Improve your appearance if you feel that your breasts are small or that one breast is smaller than the other, and this affects the way you dress or the type of bra you need to improve the asymmetry
• Adjust to reduce breast size after pregnancy or significant weight loss
• Correcting uneven breasts after breast surgery for other conditions
• Improve self-confidence
Talk to your plastic surgeon about your goals so you can be realistic about what breast augmentation can do for you.
