Breast augmentation, technically known as Augmentation Mammoplasty,
is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a
woman's breast using saline-filled or gel implants. By inserting
an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase
a woman's bust line by one or more bra cup sizes.
The Breast Augmentation Procedure
The specifics of the Breast Augmentation procedure, as with all procedures

with realistic expectations as to what the surgery can and cannot

Risks
All surgery carries risk, and you should be fully aware of the medical
risks associated with this procedure before you consent to surgery.
Your surgeon will discuss these risks with you during your consultation,
and you are encouraged to ask questions if there is anything you
do not understand.
