breast augmentation (breast implants)

: an overview

Breast augmentation surgery (also known as breast implants) is one of the most popular and commonly performed cosmetic procedures performed today. It is also one of Dr Lim's specialties. If performed well this particular surgical procedure can give long-lasting and natural looking breasts that may leave you with improved self-confidence.

The breast augmentation surgical procedure is used primarily to enhance the size and also the shape of a woman's breasts with the use of breast implants. Placement of the implant behind each breast increase its volume and enhances the overall shape of the breast.

Breast implants can be performed at any age, as long as the natural breast development has completed. This procedure is an option for women who are not satisfied with their breasts for any number of reasons. Common reasons for women seeking breast augmentation surgery are:

• She may feels that her breasts are too small
• Breast size may not be proportional to the rest of her body
• Balancing the size and the shape of her breasts if they are not equal and balanced
• Improving contour and the size of her breasts following pregnancy, breast-feeding or and/or weight loss.
