Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase a woman’s breast size. This surgery is usually done using implants (prosthesis). Implants may contain silicone or saline and are usually placed in the chest. This surgery can be done to increase the natural appearance of a person’s breasts or to increase the size of naturally small breasts. Breast augmentation surgery may be a desirable option due to physical or psychological ailments. However, surgical procedures always carry risks, so potential patients should learn enough about breast augmentation surgery and talk to the surgeon.
