Breast Enhancement Offerings
Introduction to the Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. This procedure involves the use of breast implants to achieve a more natural appearance and improve body image. There are several types of breast implants available, including silicone gel implants, saline breast implants, and gummy bear implants. Each type of implant offers unique characteristics and benefits, allowing you to choose the best option for your desired outcome.
​
The breast augmentation surgery typically takes about one to two hours and is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, an incision is made in the breast tissue, and a pocket is created for the implant. The implant is then carefully inserted into the pocket to achieve the desired breast size and shape. The goal of breast augmentation is to provide a natural appearance that enhances your overall body image.
