Breast augmentation can be accomplished in many ways based on four variables: incision location, implant position above or below muscle, implant type (saline or silicone), and implant size. The method should be individualized based on anatomy and patient preferences.

Our patient here had one of the most common approaches which is described in the still images at the end of the video.

All of the structural elements within have to be modified so that optimal aesthetics are established on both the front and side views. There were no breathing issues to address in this case, but they commonly co-exist.

The future is here! This AI assisted imaging app has gotten quite varied reactions, ranging from “creepy” to amazing! There is the obvious concern that the results are AI enhanced too. Therefore we will always show the static before and after images at the end to address this concern. Please comment on what you think about this new tool!
