If you have recently had a breast augmentation procedure, and wish you went larger, you are not alone.

Both types of implants have advantages and disadvantages, and offer different gains for each woman’s unique physical make-up. Silicone implants come pre-filled and have a natural feel, so they work well for women who have less breast tissue coverage. They feel softer and more natural than saline implants, and are often recommended for post-mastectomy breast reconstruction. On the other hand, saline breast implants are filled after they are inserted, so they are good for correcting asymmetrical breasts. Saline implants feel a bit more like water balloons than silicone implants, but they work well for women who are naturally a moderate […]
Choosing to have breast augmentation surgery involved making several important decisions. After choosing the incision type, the next step is to decide the location of the implant: above the pectoralis major chest muscle (also called the pre-pectoral or sub-mammary position), or under the chest muscle (known as sub-pectoral positioning). There are advantages to both surgery types and each option works well to address patients’ different needs and goals.

Most women’s breasts are not identical in size and shape, but generally don’t lead to the kind of embarrassment and discomfort that occurs in more severe cases. For women who suffer from significantly different breasts, asymmetry can have a serious impact on their quality of life. Usually, a significant difference in the size and/or shape of a woman’s breasts becomes apparent during late adolescence, with asymmetry becoming fully established (without a chance for natural self correction) by the age of 21.
Some people believe that a difference in breast size or shape will self-correct – that one breast will “catch up” […]
