Understanding Breast Implants: The Basics of the Procedure and What You Need to Know

When considering breast augmentation, one of the first questions many people ask is, “What are breast implants and how does the procedure work?” Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery that involves the placement of implants to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. While the procedure is relatively common, there are several important factors to consider to ensure you’re fully informed before making a decision.

The procedure itself involves making a small incision either around the areola, under the breast, or through the armpit, depending on the type of implant and the desired outcome. Once the incision is made, the surgeon places the implant either under the breast tissue or beneath the muscle for a more natural look. Modern breast implants come in two main types: saline and silicone. Both types have been extensively researched and are FDA-approved for safety, but they each have distinct characteristics that may influence your choice.
