Breast Augmentation - Increasing The Breast Size |
| |
|
| |
|
Introduction: BREAST AUGMENTATION is a cosmetic surgery to increase the size of small breasts. In young women breasts may remain small due to underdevelopment of glands for genetic reasons. In grown up women, breasts lose their volume due to multiple pregnancies and repeated lactation. With advancing age also the breasts become small and start sagging. BREAST AUGMENTATION is a major surgery designed to increase the breast size to desired size. This surgery is done under General anaesthesia.
Breast augmentation is done by putting silicone implants under the breast. There are different types of breast implants in use nowadays.

1. Silicone gel filled
2. Saline filled
3. Shape implants like ‘pear shaped’ |

| The surface of silicone implants can be smooth or textured (rough) |
