Explanation

Breast enlargement refers to a procedure that increases the size of a woman's breasts. This is often done by surgically inserting implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. The implants are usually filled with saline (salt water) or silicone gel. The procedure is typically performed for cosmetic reasons, but it can also be done for reconstructive purposes, such as after a mastectomy for breast cancer.
