Breast augmentation procedures vary according to the shape and size of the breast and the implant. With saline implants, a small incision is made below the areola, in the armpit, or under the breast. The doctor then makes a pocket of space for the implant, which is inserted unfilled. Implants are placed either below the breast tissue or below the pectoral muscle and then filled with saltwater. Although often thought to be predominantly female terrain, more and more men are getting plastic surgery, as well.
Women still make up the majority, though.
The main percentage of cosmetic surgeries are performed in the United States. Most people who get plastic surgery do so to improve self-esteem and boost attractiveness to self and others. Physically, beyond what is intentionally altered, a large number of things may happen to the body. Risks include adverse reactions to anesthesia, bleeding, blood clots, infection, and, in the case of implants, rejection. Recovery in some surgeries may be long and painful.
