Women seek out breast augmentation procedures for a variety of reasons. Breast implant insertion does more than simply increase your breast size: it can also create more youthful and firm breasts and enhance the body’s overall proportions. For example larger, fuller breasts make the waist appear to shrink and can put large hips and buttocks in proportion. In addition, breast implants can be used to correct breast asymmetry.

Breast augmentation with other procedures

Sometimes breast augmentation is not performed in isolation. It can be coupled effectively with other procedures, such as the breast lift, especially to assist with sagging breast tissue. For sagging breasts that result from pregnancy, breast feeding, or just aging, a breast augmentation combined with breast lift is sometimes required to lift the breasts.

Breast implant options

Breast implant options are available for breast augmentation. Most implants produced and utilized today are made up of one or more outer shells of silicone, filled with liquid silicone or a saline solution. Implants can come in many sizes and shapes, and different sized implants can even be used for correcting breast asymmetry.
