What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery that enhances the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts with implants or fat grafting. This is accomplished by placing implants or fat beneath the breast tissue or chest muscles. The procedure is designed to create a more proportionate figure, enhance body confidence, and restore or improve breast volume. Whether you wish to increase naturally small breasts, regain fullness lost from pregnancy or weight changes, or achieve better symmetry, breast augmentation provides a customized approach to help you reach your aesthetic goals.

Who is a Good Candidate for a Breast Augmentation:
Breast reconstruction can help restore the shape, balance, and appearance of the breast after a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or other breast surgery. Every woman's situation is unique, and the best candidates are those who are in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and are ready to explore their reconstructive options. Whether reconstruction is performed immediately after breast cancer surgery or years later, a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon can help determine the approach that best fits your goals and medical needs.
