The size and firmness of the breast is very important for one's self-confidence. This procedure is ideal for those who have not developed their desired breast size and for those who have perhaps lost breast tissue after breast feeding or weight loss.  The usual practice is to increase the breast to the desired size by inserting an implant either behind or in front of the pectoris muscle in the chest and different surgeons have different surgical approaches. I have developed a technique, published in the Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Journal in the USA, which places the implant both above and below the muscle in the breast. The breast is uniquely shaped - it is flatter on the top and rounded at the bottom. If you put the implant totally behind the muscle this will affect the shape you can achieve because the muscle is completely flat. So it will pump out the breast rather than fill out the rounded bottom part of the breast. By putting the implant behind the muscle it is in a separate compartment that is not directly communicating with the breast tissue compartment. **End Summary** Topics: Breast augentation]]> breast implants]]> breast enlargment]]>]]> About the Author: ]]> <a href="http://www.belvedereclinic.co.uk/breast-augmentation.asp"> This text</a> is a link to a page on this Web site.
