Breast augmentation is an aesthetic procedure performed to change the size and shape of women's breasts. It is usually performed using silicone or saline-filled implants. Breast augmentation surgery can help women achieve a fuller, more proportionate appearance by changing breast size and shape. Suitable candidates for breast augmentation surgery are women who consider their breast size to be small, who have lost breast volume due to factors such as childbirth, breastfeeding or aging, or who have asymmetrical breast size. However, candidates for breast augmentation surgery must be healthy, undergo a pre-surgical examination and understand the risks and benefits of the surgery.

Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia and the surgeon inserts the implant by making a small incision under the breast, around the nipple or under the armpit. The location, implant type and size of the implant are decided with the patient before surgery. The surgical procedure usually takes 1-2 hours and patients are usually discharged on the same day.

The post-operative recovery process varies from person to person, but mild discomfort and swelling may usually last for a few days. It is recommended to avoid heavy physical activities for the first week after surgery, and normal activities can be resumed within a few weeks. In the first few months, the implants will fall into place and the healing process will be completed. Risks of breast augmentation surgery include risks such as infection, bleeding, implant leakage, and tissue hardening (capsular contracture) in cases requiring implant replacement. However, with a correct surgical procedure, appropriate implant selection and a good healing process, a fuller and proportionate appearance can be achieved after breast augmentation surgery.
