One common procedure is breast implant surgery. This involves inserting silicone or saline implants into the breast tissue or chest muscles. Silicone implants are popular due to their natural look and feel, while saline implants are sometimes preferred for their potential for a more customizable size. The surgeon will make an incision, usually in the breast fold, under the arm, or around the nipple, and place the implant. For example, if you desire a significant increase in breast size, breast implants can provide dramatic and long-lasting results, but they come with considerations like the risk of implant rupture and the need for future replacements.

Fat transfer, another option, uses your own body fat. Fat is liposuctioned from areas like the abdomen or thighs and then injected into the breasts. It offers a more natural approach as it uses your body's own tissue. It's a good choice for those who want a modest increase in breast size and also wish to contour other areas. However, not all the fat injected may survive, and multiple sessions may be required to achieve the desired volume. It's important to have realistic expectations about the amount of volume increase possible with fat transfer.

Composite breast augmentation combines both implants and fat transfer. It allows for the benefits of both methods. You can use implants for the main volume increase and fat transfer for a more natural contour and to soften the appearance. This method can provide a more personalized result, but it's a more complex procedure, requiring more surgical time and careful planning. Your surgeon will consider your body's natural breast shape and tissue quality to determine the best combination of implants and fat transfer.
