Breast augmentation is one of the most requested forms of plastic surgery today. Fashions and media emphasis these days often feature full-busted figures on frames that are thin. That body type rarely occurs in nature. Some women will be satisfied with the temporary effects of a padded or push up bra, but others want to be able to wear swimsuit tops and skimpier attire under which a padded or push up bra is impractical.

There are women who choose to have breast implants as a business investment. Dancers, models, actresses, and even bartenders claim that their marketability and wages go up when they have larger breasts. Scientific sociological studies have not confirmed or debunked this idea, but there are many women who say that breast augmentation has a positive effect on their paycheck. It could be the results of the surgery itself, or it could be the result of improved confidence after surgery, but research on the subject is scarce.

Breast augmentation can be accomplished in a number of ways. Once the surgeon and the patient decide on what size implants to use, and whether to use implants filled with sterile saline (salt water) or with #Silicone_gel_implants" silicone gel, the surgeon will make the initial incision in one of three places.

Some surgeons make incisions under the arm where they are easily concealed. Some surgeons make the incisions where the underside of the breast meets the ribcage so that they blend in with the natural folds of the skin. And some surgeons make the incision in the navel, where it is easily hidden, and then carefully thread the empty saline implants into place before filling them with the correct volume of saline solution.

The best plastic surgeons are those with plenty of experience, and who do not try to perform a “one size fits all” surgery on every patient, but rather takes several factors into account, including the patient’s frame size and the desired results.
