At our practice, breast augmentation involves the surgical placement of silicon or saline-filled implants behind the breast tissue or muscle for the purpose of increasing cup size. Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia. Recovery period varies depending on the patient's age and the type of implant used. Implants placed underneath the muscle usually require a lengthier recovery period than those placed behind the breast tissue. Breast lift ( mastopexy) is a procedure used to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Breast lift can significantly improve appearance and self-confidence.
