What is Breast Augmentation with Silicone Implants? A patient-friendly guide to the procedure

Breast augmentation with silicone implants is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume, improve shape, and restore balance through an implant choice tailored to the patient’s frame, breast tissue, and aesthetic goals.

ABOUT THE PROCEDURE

Breast augmentation is not simply about choosing a larger cup size. A successful plan considers chest width, skin quality, existing breast tissue, body proportions, and the degree of fullness the patient wants. Silicone implants may help restore volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change, improve naturally small breasts, or correct noticeable asymmetry.Breast

Implants are available in different shapes and levels of cohesiveness, including round and anatomical options. The implant type, size, and position are chosen after a detailed assessment. Depending on the anatomy and desired outcome, the implant may be placed above the chest muscle, beneath it, or in a dual-plane position.Breast
