Abstract

Breast augmentation continues to be the most frequently performed aesthetic surgical procedure worldwide. Improved implant design coupled with surgical advances mean that high quality results with few complications can now be expected in the majority and a precise of progress is perhaps timely. This article forms provide a history of breast augmentation, evolution of breast implant, standardized strategic steps of breast augmentation and compare breast augmentation techniques on an international level.
