Breast augmentation
What is breast augmentation (implants) ?
The purpose of breast augmentation is to enhance the appearance of the breasts, increase their volume and fullness, improve their symmetry, and improve self-confidence.

Breast augmentation is a major surgical procedure that should only be performed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon. Like all surgical procedures, it carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, and complications related to the implants. It is important to thoroughly discuss the risks and benefits of breast augmentation with a qualified surgeon before deciding to undergo the procedure.
