What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts. This procedure is commonly sought to increase breast volume, restore fullness lost due to aging, weight changes, or pregnancy, and improve symmetry between uneven breasts. Breast augmentation typically involves the use of silicone or saline implants, placed either under or over the chest muscle, or a fat transfer technique using the patient’s own fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs. The procedure not only enhances physical contours but also boosts confidence, offering long-lasting, customizable results tailored to individual goals and body types. Consulting with a qualified plastic surgeon is essential to determine the best approach for achieving a natural and proportionate outcome.
Types of Breast Augmentation Procedures
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery that enhances the size and shape of the breasts. The procedure offers various options tailored to individual preferences and goals. Here are the main types of breast augmentation:
Silicone Implants:
- Made of a silicone shell filled with silicone gel.
- Known for a natural look and feel.
- Ideal for patients seeking a softer, more realistic breast appearance.
Saline Implants:
- Composed of a silicone shell filled with sterile saline (saltwater).
- The size can be adjusted during surgery.
- Suitable for those who prefer a firmer texture and smaller incisions.
Gummy Bear Implants (Form-Stable Implants):
- Made of cohesive silicone gel, maintaining their shape even if ruptured.
- Offer a natural appearance with minimal risk of leakage.
- Great for those looking for a teardrop-shaped implant.
Fat Transfer Augmentation:
- Uses the patient’s own fat, harvested through liposuction from areas like the abdomen or thighs.
- Provides a more natural enhancement without implants.
- Ideal for individuals seeking subtle volume increases and contouring.
Smooth vs. Textured Implants:
- Smooth Implants: Move naturally within the breast pocket, offering a softer feel.
- Textured Implants: Reduce movement and are designed to stay in place, minimizing the risk of capsular contracture.
Round vs. Anatomical (Teardrop) Implants:
- Round Implants: Add fullness to the upper breast for a more lifted appearance.
- Teardrop Implants: Mimic the natural shape of breasts, with more volume at the bottom.
Each type of augmentation has its benefits, and the choice depends on individual goals, anatomy, and lifestyle. A consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon will help determine the best option for your desired results.

MiraDry is the only non-surgical, FDA-cleared treatment for hyperhidrosis of the armpits. It permanently reduces excessive sweating.
One MiraDry session usually takes about an hour.
MiraDry works by using thermal energy to target and damage the sweat glands in the armpit area. This is what leads to a reduction of excessive sweating.
Some of the most common side effects of MiraDry include swelling of the underarm, redness, tenderness, numbness, and tingling.
How Breast Augmentation Works
The procedure involves placing implants or transferring fat to achieve the desired results:
- Implants: Silicone gel or saline implants are placed either under the chest muscle (submuscular) or over the muscle (subglandular) through small incisions.
- Fat Transfer: Fat is harvested from another part of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, via liposuction and injected into the breasts for a more natural enhancement.

How to Choose the Right Implant Size for Breast Augmentation
Selecting the right implant size is crucial for achieving natural-looking, proportional, and satisfying results from breast augmentation. Here are key factors to consider:
Body Proportions: Choose an implant size that complements your frame, height, weight, shoulder width, and chest size for a balanced appearance.
Desired Outcome: Think about your aesthetic goals, whether you prefer a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic look.
Current Breast Tissue: The amount of natural breast tissue you have can influence the choice of implant size and type, as well as how the implant will sit on your chest.
Lifestyle Considerations: Consider your daily activities and lifestyle. Larger implants may affect physical activities like sports or require additional support for comfort.
Consultation and Sizing: During a consultation, your surgeon will use tools like implant sizers, 3D imaging, or trial implants to help you visualize different sizes and find the best match.
Surgeon’s Expertise: Rely on your surgeon’s experience and recommendations. They will guide you based on your anatomy and desired outcome to ensure proportional and realistic results.
Ultimately, choosing the right implant size is a personalized decision that balances your aesthetic goals with your physical characteristics. A thorough consultation with a skilled plastic surgeon is essential to make an informed choice.
