Breast augmentation – commonly referred to as a ‘boob job’ or 'breast implants' – is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures performed. It was one of the very first types of plastic surgery that people had done overseas, and now the practice of combining an overseas holiday with surgery has become very popular and readily accepted.
Breast augmentation uses fat transfer or implants to create a bigger bust. It is common in women who are unhappy with the size of their breasts after weight loss or pregnancy, or who are unhappy with the balance between their hips and breast size.
To correct breasts that are severely drooping, a breast lift with augmentation may be necessary to create lifted and fuller breasts.
