Breast Enlargement
(Augmentation Mammoplasty)

To make the breast(s) larger, an implant is placed behind the breast, pushing it forward. This is most commonly done through an incision either below the breast, around the areola (darker area around the nipple) or in the armpit (axilla). Either salt water (saline) or silicone gel implants can be used.
