Breast augmentation is a procedure that uses implants to enlarge and shape the breasts. Woman who choose to have breast augmentation do so to improve their self image. Many women feel dissatisfied with the size of their breasts, or they may want to bring balance to a breast that is somewhat smaller than the other. Others want the procedure to restore their natural breast volume, which may have decreased as a result of pregnancy, weight loss or aging.
