What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a procedure performed to surgically enhance the size and/or shape of the breasts for the following reasons:
- To enhance the body contour (by changing the breast size with breast implants)
- To correct volume due to breast reduction from pregnancy
- Provide better breast symmetry
- Reconstruct the breasts post-breast surgery (i.e., breasts being surgically removed during breast cancer surgery, a “mastectomy”)
