Breast size is important to many women for a variety of reasons. If you are dissatisfied with your breast size, breast augmentation surgery is a choice to consider. Often times, women notice a decrease in breast size or a change in shape after pregnancy and nursing, or after losing weight. Breast augmentation may enhance your breast size and shape while giving you the more proportional figure you always wanted. The implant used for breast augmentation may be filled with saline (dilute salt water) or silicone which is inserted through a small incision on the edge of the areola or under your breast. Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure. You should expect between one to three weeks of recovery time.
