Breast Augmentation, is a procedure in which breast implants are used to increase the size of a person’s breast.
Breast implants are commonly used for aesthetic reasons to enlarge the appearance of the breast through breast augmentation surgery.
In reconstructive plastic surgery, breast implants can be placed to create a natural looking breast following a mastectomy, to correct congenital defects and deformities of the chest wall such as in Poland’s syndrome or for a tuberous breast deformity, and for asymmetric breasts.
