Breast Augmentation; (Augmentation Mammoplasty) 

Done to enlarge and/or enhance the breast using a breast implant . This is a relatively safe procedure. So far there is no evidence that breast implant can cause breast cancer. It is more  difficult to read mammogram in breast with implants. It can be done under either local or general anesthesia.  The  incision is usually made around the areola, armpit or at the crease under the breast  to make the scar  inconspicuous . It does not affect lactation since the implant is positioned behind the breast tissue underneath the pectoralis muscle.
