Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts.  Breast implants are medical devices with a solid silicone, rubber shell. The implant shell may be filled with either saline solution (sterile salt water) or elastic silicone gel. Both saline and silicone gel breast implants are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Approval means that an implant has been rigorously researched and tested, and reviewed by an independent panel of physicians for safety.  Read more

Breast Implant Revision

Breast implants placed during breast augmentation can be removed or replaced.  The procedure may be indicated for medical reasons or it may be the patient’s personal choice.  To provide a satisfactory aesthetic outcome, a cosmetic procedure such as a breast lift may be performed during or after breast implant removal.  Read more
