Find a breast augmentation surgeon

Breast augmentation is one of the most common cosmetic procedures for women in the United States. Over one million women in the United States are known to have had breast augmentation surgery. In breast augmentation, a breast implant is placed behind the breast mound to increase breast projection.

Women considering a breast augmentation procedure should seek a competent surgeon and learn as much as possible about the procedures before making their decision. The surgeon you choose should have experience in breast augmentation and other breast procedures. You should check their certification by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. In the United States, a plastic surgeon must complete both general and a plastic surgery residency, which entails a minimum of six years of postgraduate training.

To find qualified surgeon, consider getting recommendation for people who have undergone the same procedure. When selecting a surgeon, ask to see your surgeon’s before-and-after photos of reconstruction patients who have had the same surgery.
