    Breast implant surgery can increase your breast size by one or more bra cup sizes. It can also reduce differences in size and shape between your breasts.

    Breast implants will not prevent the breasts from sagging as a result of future pregnancy, weight gain or loss or aging.

    Most women who have breast implants will need at least one more implant surgery in their lives.

    Breast implant surgery is very effective for enhancing a women's breast size. The advantages include increase upper breast fullness, cleavage, and lateral diameter. The disadvantages include bleeding, infection, scar tissue formation (capsular contracture), skin laxity, ruptured implants, and silicone bleed. All saline and silicone implant are NOT lifetime devices. They must be changed after several years. Remember that when considering breast augmentation surgery!
