Breast Augmentation is an aesthetic surgical procedure to increase the size of breasts. Breast augmentation will also correct slight sagging of the breast and can increase breast firmness. A similar procedure can be used to recreate a breast after mastectomy. Breast enlargement is performed by making a space behind the breast, usually behind the pectoral muscle, and placing a breast implant (prosthesis) into this space.

The surgery needs to be individualised in relation to the type and size of implant used, the anatomical space created and the placement of the scar. The choice will depend on the patient's bodily shape, her breast shape and size, her chest shape and her expectations. The breast tissue itself is not operated on. The implant is simply placed behind the breast to give it more projection and fullness.

Albeit results differ from person to person, in general a successful augmentation will give you fuller breasts that are in better proportion with your overall body size and physique. The procedure may also lead to reduced sagginess and increased firmness of the breasts. Your surgeon at the Aesthetic Day Surgery will discuss the results that you can personally expect with you at your initial consultation.
