Breast augmentation procedure involves the placement of an implant either under the breast tissue or behind the muscle on which the breast lies to enhance the size and shape of the breast. The implants are usually inserted using an incision placed under the breast at the crease but can also be put in via an incision around the nipple. Implants can be placed either directly behind the breast (known as sub-glandular placement), or behind the breast and chest wall muscle (known as sub-muscular placement).
