Breast augmentation has been the top cosmetic surgical procedure in the U.S. since 2006. Using either breast implants of a fat transfer, surgeons at Intermountain Southern Utah Plastic Surgery use the latest techniques to increase breast size.
WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION? Breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as boob job, breast aug or augmentation mammoplasty, makes breasts bigger and fuller. .. This procedure can restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieving a more rounded breast shape or improving natural breast size asymmetry. Breast augmentation can also improve the balance of breast and hip contours and enhance self-image and self-confidence.
HOW IS A BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY DONE? The most common type of breast augmentation involves inserting an implant under breast tissue or chest muscles. The implant is filled with saline (sterile salt water) or silicone (plastic gel). Implants come in different sizes, shapes and textures. They are discreetly inserted into an incision under the breast, around the areola or in the armpit.
Fat transfer breast augmentations can create a small breast size increase through a more natural procedure. Liposuction is used to take fat from your body (usually abdomen or thighs) and inject it into the breasts. Talk to a provider at Intermountain Southern Utah Plastic Surgery to learn which breast augmentation procedure would be right for you.
WHAT A BREAST AUGMENTATION CAN’T DO? Note that a breast augmentation surgery cannot correct severely drooping breasts. A breast lift paired with a breast augmentation may be required.
