Breast augmentation is a procedure that increases or reshapes the breasts, most often by placing a silicone or saline implant, and sometimes by transferring a patient's own fat. It is a same-day surgery in most cases, with the implant placed through a small incision either under the breast tissue or partly under the chest muscle.
