Breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is, in many ways, the queen of cosmetic surgeries. Breast enhancement is known to increase self-esteem for many women often due to a disconnect between their natural body and their body image. Breast augmentation is a fairly simple procedure but nevertheless it must be the right size and style to match your body and this will become evident in consultation with our surgeons. There are many different styles of implant. Our advice is to keep an open mind until consultation and then decide.
Breast enlargement does not mean always choosing large-sized breast implants – smaller breast sizes are also available, not to mention that instead of breast implants you can choose a breast lift, which will correct the look of your breasts without (or with small) breast implants.
