Breast Augmentation utilizes implants to restore or enhance your breast volume. An implant can add upper pole fullness, accent your cleavage, and augment the contour and shape of your breasts. If your nipples are generally where you want them but you would like to restore volume you have lost over time or create volume that you never had to improve the way you fit in clothes then a breast augmentation could be right for you.
