The Breast Augmentation Information

Breast augmentation has increased by 476% since 1992, the largest increase in plastic surgery procedures. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that increases the size of a woman’s breasts. A saline filled implant with a silicone shell is placed under the breast, which increases the breast size. In the past, silicone gel-filled implants were used for breast augmentation, but the FDA restricted the use of this type of implant in 1992 to perform further safety studies.

The acceptance people have towards plastic surgery and breast augmentation has shifted over the years as more and more people describe desiring plastic surgery procedures in order to feel young inside and outside. Even as the economy was suffering, plastic surgery procedures remained popular. The 72 million baby boomers are seeking plastic surgery at the rate of 1 million procedures per year, and this trend does not appear to be slowing down anytime soon.
