What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) is a surgical procedure to increase breast size and improve shape using implants. It's one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide, with millions performed annually.

The procedure involves placing silicone or saline implants either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. Surgery takes 1–2 hours under general anaesthesia, with most patients returning home the same day or after one night in hospital.

Modern implants are highly developed, offering natural look and feel. Surgeons abroad use the same premium brands as UK clinics — Mentor, Allergan, Motiva — at significantly lower prices due to reduced operating costs.
