Breast Augmentation

Length: 16:48

Breast Augmentation patientBreast augmentation (also known as augmentation mammaplasty) is a surgical procedure that uses implants to produce fuller breasts or restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy.

This highly individualized procedure should be undertaken for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.

In this podcast:

  • An ASPS Member Surgeon discusses various breast augmentation options, what to expect during the consultation with your surgeon, and safety and recovery issues to consider
  • A patient describes her reasons for having the procedure, how she prepared for her consultation, and how long it took to return to her normal daily routine
