Breast Enlargement/Augmentation (commonly known as a boob job), is a cosmetic procedure which involves the insertion of implants underneath the breast tissues that are called ‘pockets’. Therefore, this enlarges the breasts, as well as changing the shape and making them symmetrical.
Women may have lower self-esteem caused either by the smallness of the breasts, uneven breast size, or if they are not in proportion with the rest of the body. Therefore, this surgical practice would increase self-confidence, and an all-round improved upper body image.
It is a surgery performed under general anesthesia by placing a silicone implant under the breast tissue. Surgery can be done by the incisions under armpit, around areola or under the breast tissue. Cohesive silicon gel implants are used. Implant surfaces can be flat or textured. Due to the high risk of capsule contracture of flat surface prostheses, we use textured surface implants. Macro textured under muscle. Your surgeon prefers micro texture implant on the muscle. Anatomic or round prosthesis are generally preferred according to the patient.
