Breast enlargement is the second most common cosmetic surgery in the USA after liposuction. It is the third most common after liposuction and tummy tucks at our CosmeSurge Centers. For the women concerned, small breasts are a severe mental burden from an emotional, social, and sexual point of view. They do not feel like a complete woman: the most important attribute of femininity is missing.

Breast enlargement is designed to increase the size and/or alter the shape of a woman's breasts through the use of an artificial breast implant. Women may choose to have this operation either as a reconstructive technique following breast cancer surgery, to balance asymmetrical breasts, or to change the proportions and line of the body.

Breast augmentation can be performed at any age after the breasts are fully developed. A good candidate for breast enlargement is emotionally mature, understands her personal motivations and has realistic goals for the procedure.

If your breasts are sagging, a breast lift may be recommended in conjunction with augmentation.

There is no scientific evidence that breast augmentation increases the risk of breast cancer. The presence of breast implants, however, makes it more technically difficult to take and read mammograms.
