Breast Enlargement

(Breast Augmentation, Breast implants)

There are many reasons why a woman may consider breast enlargement. For some it is to create breasts of a size or shape they never had; for others it is to recreate what has been changed by ageing, pregnancy, lactation or menopause. The high degree of patient satisfaction with breast augmentation is why it has become one of the most popular and commonly performed cosmetic surgery procedures in Australia and the rest of the world.

Breast augmentation involves the insertion of a prosthesis (implant) behind the breast tissue or pectoralis chest muscle. The procedure can be performed using one of several different surgical techniques and there are a multitude of different styles and sizes of breast implants. The best results are achieved when the patient and surgeon work together to chose the correct implant and surgical technique.
