✔ Improved breast volume and fullness

Patients can choose between two main implant types:
-
Silicone Gel Implants – Natural look and feel
-
Saline Implants – Adjustable size, firmer feel
Surgical Technique & Placement
The procedure involves:
-
Implant Placement (under or over the chest muscle)
-
Incision Options:
-
Inframammary (under breast fold)
-
Periareolar (around the nipple)

Transaxillary (through the armpit)
