Breast augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a popular surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the breasts. At Lux Hospitals, we understand that this procedure can significantly boost confidence and self-esteem, helping patients achieve their desired appearance.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation involves the use of implants or fat transfer to increase breast volume and improve contours. This procedure can address various concerns, including breast size, asymmetry, or volume loss due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. With effective techniques and advanced technology, breast augmentation is tailored to each individual’s needs.
Types of Breast Augmentation
There are two primary methods for breast augmentation, each with distinct advantages:
Breast Implants
- Silicone Implants: Known for their natural feel and appearance, silicone implants are filled with silicone gel.
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water, saline implants can be adjusted during surgery to achieve the desired size.
Fat Transfer
This technique involves harvesting fat from other areas of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs) and injecting it into the breasts. This method provides a more natural enhancement and eliminates the need for implants.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
- Enhanced breast size and shape
- Improved body proportions and balance
