What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast Augmentation is a prosthesis used to enlarge the size of a woman's breasts (known as breast implants, breast augmentation, breast enlargement, mammoplasty enlargement, augmentation mammoplasty or the common slang term boob job) for cosmetic reasons; to reconstruct the breast (e.g. after a mastectomy; or to correct genetic deformities), or as an aspect of male-to-female sex reassignment surgery. Pectoral implants are a related device used in cosmetic and reconstructive procedures of the male chest wall. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, breast augmentation is the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedure in the United States. In 2007, 347,254 breast augmentation procedures were performed in the U.S according to statistics collected by the American Society of Plastic Surgery.

Breast augmentation: Here's how it's done
As with all things in life, there is always more than one way to do something. Breast augmentation is a procedure that has definitely evolved. Many years ago, patients got silicone injected directly into their breasts. But not long after the injections, the silicone would move and distort the breast augmentation.

Some enterprising people (not necessarily physicians) found that if they put impurities into the silicone the material would stay in place. Unfortunately, these impurities caused infections and problems for many patients. Soon after, plastic surgeons improved the technique by putting silicone into a thin containment device and the modern day field of breast augmentation was born.

Breast augmentation is generally done with either silicone or saline (salt water) implants. The basic procedure involves making an incision in and around the breast, creating a tunnel under the skin or muscle and putting an implant in that tunnel.
