Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to increase the size or change the shape of the breasts. It is a popular cosmetic surgery procedure that can improve self-confidence and body image.

The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1-2 hours. Patients usually stay in the hospital for 1-2 days after surgery.

The recovery time for breast augmentation is typically about 1-2 weeks. People can typically return to work and normal activities within 2-3 weeks after surgery.

The benefits of breast augmentation include increased breast size or change in breast shape, and improved self-confidence and body image.

As with any surgery, there are some risks associated with breast augmentation, such as bleeding, infection, numbness, asymmetry, skin irregularities, implant rupture or deflation.

If you are considering breast augmentation, talk to your doctor about whether it is the right option for you.
