Breast augmentation
What it is
Breast augmentation is surgery to increase the size or change the shape of the breasts, using silicone or saline implants, or fat moved from elsewhere in the body.
The site counts prices for a first augmentation with each implant type, and for revision of an earlier augmentation, separately.
Every operation has risks; discuss them with a board-certified surgeon.
