Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, commonly known as a boob job, requires breast implants or transferring fat to increase breast size. Such techniques will create a more rounded breast form or improve asymmetry in the average breast size.

Stages of Breast Augmentation

Your doctor will discuss with you the size and shape of the implant before the operation to obtain a natural result. During the procedure, your surgeon will create a pocket underneath your breast to accommodate the implant. The implant will be placed either below the breast tissue or beneath the pectoral muscle, on top of which the breast sits depending on the breast shape and size. If you choose Breast Augmentation with fat transfer, there is no need for an artificial implant, and the results will appear a few months later. However, natural breast augmentation has limits on the possible size and shape results, that is why it is important to discuss your case and desires with your specialist before your operation.
