Breast augmentation is a breast surgery procedure aimed to increase the size and shape of the breasts. This Breast Surgery procedure involves the use of breast implants, which are placed behind the breast tissue. Breast augmentation surgery candidates are those whose breasts are too small, which may be disproportionate to the rest of the body. Also, breast augmentation is helpful in restoring the size and firmness of breasts in women who have undergone pregnancy and breastfeeding, a process that typically reduces the size of breasts.

mammoplasty) is a breast surgery procedure aimed
