Breast enlargements are also known a breast augmentations and augmentation mammoplasty. Usually, breast enlargements are desired by women for many different reasons, including: To enhance the body contour of a woman who feels her breast size is too small, or not proportional to the rest of her body.

The procedure is performed by inserting an implant behind each breast to increase a bustline by one or more bra cup sizes.
