Breast Lift vs. Implants: Knowing the Difference Matters

The basics of breast implants


Are breast implants right for me?
Breast augmentation surgery allows women with smaller breasts to have a fuller, better-proportioned figure. Many women choose breast implants after having children or if they were born with a naturally uneven chest. Breast implants can also improve self-confidence by helping you achieve the shapely, curvier appearance you’ve always wanted. Anyone who is healthy and realistic in what to expect from the procedure is a good candidate for breast implants. The surgery is usually performed with general anesthesia.
