Approximately 1 in 8 women will develop invasive breast cancer in their lifetime. As of January 2018, there are more than 3.1 million women with a history of breast cancer in the United States. While much effort is directed at research, prevention, screening, and early detection, there are a larger number of women who are still faced with the reality of having to undergo procedures where part or all of their breasts tissue is removed (lumpectomy vs mastectomy).

If you’re considering breast augmentation, this will give you a basic understanding of the procedure – when it can help, how it’s performed, and what results you can expect. It can’t answer all of your questions, since a lot depends on your individual circumstances. Please ask your surgeon if there is anything you don’t understand about the procedure.
