Breast enlargement surgery

Or augmentation mammoplasty ("boob job") involves placement of saline-filled or silicone gel implants behind the breast or the pectoralis muscle via one of several incision choices. Fat grafting is controversial and may cause calcifications that can interfere with the mammographic detection of breast cancers. Implants placed by an abps-certified plastic surgeon are the best and safest way to go!
