Abstract

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular aesthetic surgeries performed worldwide. Yet, it has high complication and revision rate due to in part improper patient selection, incorrect implant selection, and poor surgical technique. The operation can and must become predictable, reliable, and highly satisfying with less risk of reoperation. This requires understanding certain principles in breast anatomy, patient selection, biodimensional planning, and meticulous surgical techniques.
