Breast augmentation, or breast implant surgery, is a surgical procedure that is used to increase the size and enhance the shape of the breasts. The procedure is typically performed using breast implants, which are silicone or saline-filled devices that are placed under the breast tissue or muscle to add volume to the breasts.

The exact technique used during breast implant surgery will depend on the individual patient and their specific needs and goals. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take several hours to complete. The surgeon will make an incision in the breast, usually in the crease under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. Through this incision, the surgeon will create a pocket in the breast tissue or muscle and place the implant in the pocket. The incision is then closed with sutures.

After the surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, and will need to take time off work to recover. It is important for patients to follow their surgeon's post-operative instructions and attend all follow-up appointments to ensure the best possible outcome.

It is important to note that breast implant surgery is a major procedure and carries risks, including infection, bleeding, and the possibility of revision surgery. It is important to discuss these risks and any concerns you may have with a plastic surgeon before proceeding with the procedure.
