Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to increase breast size or improve breast shape using implants or fat transfer. It’s commonly chosen by individuals who want a fuller figure, better symmetry, or wish to restore volume lost due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.
The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon makes a small incision—often under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit—and places the implant either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. After proper positioning, the incisions are closed with care to ensure minimal visible scarring.

Yes, FDA-approved silicone implants are made from safe and biocompatible materials. Today’s gel-filled implants are durable against rupture and do not leak, as the contents are cohesive rather than fluid. However, like all medical implants, regular check-ups are recommended.
Modern silicone implants do not have an exact "expiration date," but manufacturers estimate a durability of 10 to 20 years. The condition of the implants should be monitored through regular medical check-ups, and they should be replaced if any deformation or capsular contracture develops.
For the first 4–6 weeks after surgery, a medical bra should be worn, heavy lifting should be avoided, and sleeping positions should follow your surgeon's advice. Swelling and bruising are normal and the healing process varies from person to person. Follow-up appointments should not be skipped, and alcohol and smoking should be avoided during recovery.
