Breast augmentation technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons:

• To enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small.

• To correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy.

• To balance a difference in breast size.

By inserting an implant behind each breast, surgeons are able to increase a woman's bustline by one or more bra cup sizes.
