It is one of the most requested surgeries today. You increase the breasts in order to correct breasts with less volume, breasts that after pregnancy loose volume or form, and to correct defects in development of the breasts that are known as tuberous breasts. The increase is achieved through the placement of a breast implant. There are different types of implants; some are of silicone gel and saline solution, among the most used. They come in different forms, anatomical or drop-shaped, round and profile of different types, depending on the outcome that is sought to obtain. It is very important to evaluate the patient in the office in order to determine what type and shape of implant will be used to meet the expectations that the patient is seeking.

Breast implants can be placed in front of the pectoral muscle or behind it. The location will depend on the frame and size of the breast preoperatively. This is also determined in its evaluation preoperatively. The difference between one and another location is only given in the recovery time and pain you feel in the post. Either way, the procedure is performed under general anesthesia and on an outpatient basis. The maximum recovery to return to your daily activities is one week.
