Breast augmentation is the most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedure designed to enlarge or bring symmetry to your breasts. Breast augmentation is also known as augmentation mammoplasty, or a “boob job.”  Breast enhancement or a “boob job” can be performed to increase your natural size and correct sagging and volume loss associated with age, weight loss, pregnancy or breastfeeding.  There are many ways to perform breast enlargements. The method will be tailored due to the needs of individual patients. Breast enlargement is typically performed through surgically inserting breast implants or with the transfer of fat from an area of your body.  Breast augmentation, augmentation mammoplasty or a boob job surgery is also performed for breast cancer patients who have undergone mastectomy surgery, to reconstruct their breasts.
