Do you want to enlarge your breasts to make your body more proportional or your breasts more balanced in size?

Is your goal to reshape and enlarge your breast because they have lost their shape due to pregnancy and breastfeeding?

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation can involve certain risks, including: Scar tissue formation around the area of the implant, a hard or tight feel to the breast, or deflation of the implant (all of which may require replacement or surgical removal of implants). Swelling, soreness, and increased risk of bruising, bleeding or infection has been seen in a small percentage of patients and should be noted when making decisions about having breast augmentation.

Noticeable increase or decrease in nipple and breast sensitivity may also be seen, and can be temporary or permanent. Ask your doctor about these and other concerns.

Breast augmentation is a personal decision, and should be done for you, not to meet anyone else's expectations or ideals.

The improvement from breast augmentation will be visible immediately. Results will last a long time, but the exact duration will vary depending on health changes and natural aging. Also, augmentation is not permanent; implants may need to be replaced during your lifetime. Breast augmentation patients can return to work within a few days of surgery, though they will need to avoid physical contact with the breasts for 3 to 4 weeks. Scars should fade within several months to a year.
