Breast augmentation

Why it's done

Breast augmentation might help you:

  • Enhance your appearance if you think your breasts are small or that one is smaller than the other and this impacts how you dress or the type of bra needed to help with the asymmetry
  • Adjust for a reduction in the size of your breasts after pregnancy or significant weight loss
  • Correct uneven breasts after breast surgery for other conditions
  • Improve your self-confidence

Discuss your goals with your plastic surgeon so that you can be realistic about what breast augmentation can do for you.
