Breast Augmentation

Breast enhancement surgery first started in 1960s, and now has become one of the most commonly performed cosmetic plastic surgical procedures, which improves women body contour.

Women may choose to undergo surgical procedure for breast enlargement because of many reasons:

  • For personal satisfaction, if the woman feels that her breast size is too small.
  • To enhance breast volume, which is reduced after weight loss.
  • To restore symmetrical size, shape or firmness of breasts, this may be lost from changes after pregnancy or breast-feeding.
  • Due to aging or accident that causes Breast Disfigurement.
  • Cancer treatment, which results in removal of breast or breasts.


Breast augmentation for breast enhancement with safer procedures and less scarring has increased by about 500% for last five years.

There are several methods to perform breast augmentation; the insertion and positioning of your implant depends on your breast anatomy, type of implant being used and surgeon's decision about incision location. Breast Augmentation is done by inserting an implant directly under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle, which enhances women’s cup size.

Breast augmentation photos can help you view and select the incision location. Incisions are made in the armpits, around nipple or the location you prefer. It’s always good to go with the surgeon’s choice of incision. Working through the incision hole surgeon creates a pocket and insert the implant directly under the breast tissue or under the chest wall muscles. After this incision is closed with sutures.

Implants may be silicone gel or saline implants and have a range of sizes, shapes, fullness and other features. The surgeon chooses the implant depending upon your breast anatomy, body type and your desired increase in size or shape. Both silicon and saline implants are very popular and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) of United States. FDA has approved augmentation with silicone implant for women of 22 years and older and with Saline implants for 18 years old women.

Breast augmentation shows better results if the women’s breasts are fully developed but can also be used for reconstruction purposes at younger ages. Breast Augmentation is also a procedure of choice for women who undergo complete or partial mastectomy due to medical reasons.

There are risks and complications associated with Breast Augmentation as with any other surgical procedure. There may be capsular contracture, excessive bleeding, infection, hardness of the breast and in some cases the implants may even rupture or leak. The treatment of these complications is symptomatic and also it is very difficult to find detailed recovery information from women who undergo breast Augmentation.

Despite the complications of Breast Augmentation we have found most women are satisfied with the results of breast implant surgery. Many women with breast augmentation are happy with their new breast implants and successfully announce that this procedure improves their self-image and confidence. I have often heard from women who have undergone breast augmentation that it is one of the best things they have ever done for themselves.

Women even choose surgical procedure to enhance breasts but male breast enhancement due to development of abnormally large mammary glands results in a condition called Gynecomastia. Certain drugs when used cause disturbance of sex hormones resulting in male breast enlargement and in some cases even milk secretion occurs.

Many breast enhancement pills are meant to enhance natural breast enlargement process. For many women who want breast enlargement but are concerned about the risks, pain, stress and recovery time required might consider breast enhancement pills as the best alternative. Most of breast enlargement pills claim to be made of natural products but their mechanism of action in natural breast enhancement process is unknown. There are so many available in market and without any available credible feedback it’s impossible to suggest that these pills are useful or useless.
