Breast augmentation enhances size, shape and symmetry using silicone gel implants placed either beneath the breast tissue (sub-glandular) or beneath the chest muscle (sub-muscular/dual-plane). Incisions are commonly placed in the inframammary fold, around the areola or in the armpit, and implants come in a range of profiles, projections and shapes. Fat transfer is an alternative or complement for modest enlargement using your own tissue.
