General
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide, offering individuals the opportunity to enhance their physical appearance and boost their self-confidence. The procedure is customizable, with various implant types, sizes, and shapes available to meet the specific goals and expectations of each patient. During the procedure, implants made of saline or silicone are carefully inserted through incisions made in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring.

Patients generally report satisfaction with the results, noting improvements in both their appearance and psychological well-being.
