Breast augmentation, medically known as breast augmentation, is a surgical procedure to enlarge or reshape the female breast. The goal is to improve body image, boost self-confidence, or compensate for asymmetries and volume loss—for example, after pregnancy or weight loss.
Reasons for breast augmentation
Desire for a fuller, more harmonious breast shape
Restoration of breast volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
Correction of congenital breast deformities or asymmetries
Reconstruction after breast surgery (e.g., for breast cancer)
