Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation is an operation to enlarge, or change the shape of a woman's breasts. This is done by putting saline implants under the breast tissue or under one of the chest wall muscles. Breast augmentation surgery is most commonly performed on women who are born with the genetic make-up leading to the development of small breasts. There is another group of women who have average sized breasts to start out with, but after child birth and/or breast feeding, develop atrophy, or a reduction in their breast size, and thus desire a return to their original size. The operation can be performed under local anesthesia with sedation, or general anesthesia. Most women return to normal activity within 5-7 days, and vigorous physical activity can be resumed within 2-3 weeks.
