A surgical procedure to improve breast volume and contours by inserting implants. The incision location and insertion layer are selected.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that improves breast size and shape by inserting implants, such as cohesive silicone. The incision site (e.g., armpit, areola, or inframammary fold) and the insertion layer (inferior or superior to muscle) are selected based on body type and tissue condition.
The implant type (round/teardrop, surface texture), size, incision location, and insertion layer (below/above the pectoralis major) are determined to suit the body type, skin, and existing tissue.
Regular checkups are recommended due to the possibility of contracture (capsular contraction), implant rupture or rotation, and changes in sensation. Prior consultation is required regarding the possibility of childbirth and breastfeeding.
Since it may vary depending on the insertion location and incision method, prior consultation is essential if you plan to breastfeed in the future.
It is semi-permanent, but regular checkups are recommended to monitor its condition, and it can be replaced if necessary.
