Breast : Breast augmentation, or breast enlargement, is a common surgery performed by most plastic surgeons. This type of surgery is cosmetic in nature and is not covered by insurance plans. The surgery takes about an hour and is performed as an outpatient surgery. (so there is no hospital stay.) incisions will typically heal within 1-2 weeks. You will be able to resume light exercise in about 2 weeks, running in about 4 weeks, chest exercises in about 6 weeks.

Breast Implants: Breast enlargement surgery is an outpatient procedure, that does not require staying in the hospital. Most breast augmentation is done in an accredited surgery center. These should have the same equipement and staffing as a hospital, but without the sick people. The cost varies by region, but you don't want to cut corners when it comes to your health. Select a board certified plastic surgeon.
