Breast Augmentation: A surgical procedure that increases breast size and fullness. Implants are most commonly used, inserted behind the breast tissue or chest muscle. Fat grafting (transferring fat from another area) is a less common alternative.

Pros: Enhances breast size and improves body proportion. Can boost self-confidence and address breast asymmetry. Reconstructive option for post-mastectomy patients.

Cons: Surgical procedure with risks of infection, bleeding, implant rupture or capsular contracture (scarring around implant). Requires significant recovery time with limitations on movement and activity.

Alternatives: Non-surgical options like wearing supportive bras or using fillers may provide a subtle enhancement for some.

Recovery Time: 4-6 weeks, with limitations on strenuous activity for up to 3 months.

Disclaimer: Consulting a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential to discuss implant options, risks, and long-term considerations.
