AUGMENTATION MAMMOPLASTY/ BREAST AUGMENTATION/ BREAST IMPLANTS ETC
One of the most common procedures performed in cosmetic surgery is breast augmentation, also known as a “boob job” or “breast implants.” It was one of the very first types of plastic surgery that people underwent abroad, and today the custom of combining an international holiday with surgery is widely used and welcomed.
To achieve a larger bust, breast augmentation includes implants or fat transfer. Women who are dissatisfied with the proportion of their breasts to their hips after pregnancy or after losing weight frequently experience this.
A breast lift with augmentation may be required to provide elevated and larger breasts in order to treat excessively sagging breasts.
THE BENEFITS
Boost the size and projection of your breasts.
Rebalance the proportions of the breasts and hips
Improve your self-esteem and confidence
THE SURGERY
An incision is created at the start of the “Breast Implant” procedure (either in the crease of the breast, the armpit, or the perimeter of the areola, which is the dark skin surrounding the nipple). The placement of incisions vary depending on body shape and the finer details of each breast augmentation procedure.
The implant is then placed in a pocket which is either created behind the nipple immediately behind the breast tissue or behind the muscle of the chest wall.
The initial incision is stitched after it has been placed.

As with any cosmetic surgery, it’s crucial to keep in mind that the procedure won’t make you into someone else, and you shouldn’t count on it to alter your life.
