What does silicone implant augmentation involve?

Silicone implant augmentation, commonly known as breast augmentation, involves placing silicone gel-filled implants either under the pectoral muscle (sub-muscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (sub-glandular). The procedure is performed under general anesthesia through incisions typically made in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit. The choice of placement depends on your anatomy and desired outcome, with sub-muscular placement often providing a more natural look and reduced risk of visible rippling. The surgery usually takes 1–2 hours, and you can expect to stay in China for 3–5 days for initial recovery and follow-up.
