Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the volume and improve the appearance of the breasts. It involves placing implants under the muscle or breast tissue to enlarge the size. Common candidates are those wanting larger breasts after pregnancy or weight loss. During consultation, the surgeon will discuss implant options and size to meet the patient's goals. Recovery takes about a month, requiring follow-up visits to monitor healing and remove stitches or drains. Patients are advised to limit arm movement and avoid blood thinners to aid recovery.
