Breast · Surgical procedure
Breast augmentation is the surgical placement of implants to enhance or restore breast volume. Planning takes into account each patient's anatomy, torso proportion, and personal goals — from implant shape to placement. It is also part of breast reconstruction after mastectomy.

Goals of the procedure
Every surgical procedure involves risks. An individual evaluation with a plastic surgeon is essential to determine the appropriate treatment for each case.

Implants do not have a fixed, mandatory replacement date, but they do require periodic medical follow-up and imaging exams as directed by the surgeon.
In most cases breastfeeding is possible, but each situation must be evaluated individually with the surgeon, considering the technique and incision approach used.
Only an individual evaluation with a plastic surgeon can determine the appropriate procedure, after a physical exam, a review of your health history, and an honest conversation about expectations.
