Breast Enlargement Types

There are different types of breast enlargement procedures and they mainly differ based on the type of implants used, the placement of the implants and the incision technique.

The two main types of breast implants are saline and silicone, each with its own set of advantages and considerations. Additionally, the placement of the implants can be either “above” the chest muscle (subglandular or subfascial) or “below” (dual plane or submuscular).

The choice of implant type, placement, and incision technique depends on factors such as personal preferences, body anatomy and the surgeons recommendations. Less commonly, fat transfer from a different part of the body (usually tummy or buttocks) can also be used to enlarge the breasts.
