Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons: To enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small. To correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy. To balance a difference in breast size. As a reconstructive technique following breast surgery. By inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a woman's bustline by one or more bra cup sizes. Breast augmentation can enhance your appearance and your self-confidence and can improve your looks to match your ideal. If you're physically healthy and realistic in your expectations, you may be a good candidate.
