Breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty helps to enlarge the size of the breast permanently. It also helps to enhance the body shape.
The procedure can correct an under developed breast to a normal size. The size of the breast can be increased depending on its size and loose skin of the existing breast. This usually involves the use of silicone implants placed deeply in pockets beneath the breast and chest muscle. The skin incision (cut) at surgery is placed usually under the lower breast fold to keep it least visible. Subsequent breast feeding can be done normally after breast augmentation.
Fat filling (lipo injection) of the breast using the patient’s own fat from other sites is another method used to improve the shape of underdeveloped breasts
