Breast augmentation refers to the surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the breasts, primarily through the use of implants. The term “breast implants” specifically refers to the medical devices that we insert under your breast tissues or chest muscles to increase breast size. Breast augmentation uses implants to achieve desired breast contours. Breast augmentation is the procedure necessary for breast enhancement, and implants are the mechanism used. Breast augmentation and implants work in synergy to deliver the desired results. 

There are two main types of breast augmentation: breast implants and fat transfer augmentation. The first involves placing silicone or saline implants to achieve the desired fullness and shape. On the other hand, fat transfer augmentation involves taking fat from other parts of your body and injecting it into your breasts, offering a more natural enhancement and the dual benefit of slimming areas where excess fat is unwanted. Within those two categories, there are multiple different options based on the desired outcome. 

The average woman can expect her breast lift results to last for 10 to 15 years. However, due to the number of factors that affect the longevity of the results, individual results can vary significantly. Your genetics, lifestyle, and changes in your body weight can all play a part in exactly how long your breast lift lasts. If you want to maximize your results, you should focus on maintaining a stable weight and adopting a healthy lifestyle. 

The results of a tummy tuck can last indefinitely, but there are some factors which can impact the longevity of your results.

When fat deposits are removed through liposuction, those fat cells are gone forever. After liposuction, the body's contour is improved, and ideally, the areas in question are now more in proportion to the rest of the body.
