Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a simple cosmetic procedure that aims to reshape the breasts by giving them a larger, fuller, and rounder shape. The most common medical fillings used in this procedure are made of silicone and saline liquid.

The cosmetic doctor determines the type of filling according to the required size and desired results, as well as the skin type, body shape, and age, the latter being considered a key factor in determining the type of fillings.

Silicone fillings:
Give a natural look to the breast shape, as it consists of a silicone shell filled with silicone gel, which is a transparent viscous liquid that is similar in composition to the deciduous glands that make up the breast. A woman must be over 20 to be suitable for a breast augmentation procedure with silicone fillings.

Saline liquid fillings:
Give a larger size to the breast than silicone fillings and are made of brine (a strong saline solution) inside a silicone rubber membrane. It can be filled with different quantities depending on the required size. A woman must be over 18 to be suitable for a breast augmentation procedure with saline fillings.

Breast augmentation surgery is done for other therapeutic purposes, such as the stage following breast cancer treatment or to achieve symmetry.
