Also known as augmentation mammaplasty, breast augmentation involves using implants to fulfill a women’s desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Breast augmentation can increase fullness and projection of the breasts, improve the balance of the figure and enhance the self-image and self-confidence.

We prefer to use Mentor silicone implants, which are filled with an elastic gel since the gel feels and moves much like natural breast tissue. Incisions are made in inconspicuous areas ( inframammary or periareolar incision) to minimize visible scarring.

Five to six weeks after the surgery sport-bra should be used to keep the breasts tight and well in shape.
