Breast augmentation is the procedure used to surgically alter the breasts' shape, size, and structure by inserting breast implants. Breast implants are prosthetics used to be inserted into the breasts during breast augmentation surgery. It alters the way that the breasts look. It is typically done for people who have battled with cancer and had to remove a breast. There are three types of breast implants. These include silicone implants filled with silicone solution, silicone implants filled with saline solution, and other implants with certain fillers. Breast implants tend to look as close to the natural breast as possible. Silicone implants are the best implants, but they are quite expensive. Breast augmentation surgery is the term that doctors use to describe this procedure. It provides an exceptionally smooth shape of the breast, and it is incredibly flexible while preserving its strength. Breast implants are the artificial parts utilized to improve the breast's look, while breast augmentation is the name of the type of surgery it entails.

Breast augmentation and breast implants are two different terms, though they are somehow interrelated. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure used to increase the size, shape of female breasts, usually by the insertion of breast implants. From the above explanation, it is clear that breast implants are just medical prosthetics used to augment, create, or reconstruct female breasts. Breast implants are of different types; they include; silicone implants that contain the saline solution, silicone implants that contain silicon solution, and silicone implants that contain other kinds of fillers. This kind of surgery is performed by plastic surgeons. Women whose breasts have been removed due to breast cancer usually go for breast augmentation. Women with deformed breasts can also go for this surgery. One of the interesting things about breast augmentation is that it gives the normal breast shape like the original breast. However, not everybody can afford this surgical procedure as it is expensive.
