Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer. It’s typically sought for aesthetic reasons, such as increasing breast volume, balancing asymmetry, or restoring fullness after weight loss or pregnancy. Recovery usually takes a few weeks, with patients advised to avoid strenuous activities initially. While generally safe, complications can include infection, implant rupture, or capsular contracture. Regular monitoring of the implants and follow-up appointments are crucial for long-term care and results.
