Breast augmentation is a surgery to enhance breast size and shape using implants (saline, silicone, or cohesive gel) or fat transfer. Implants can be placed either above or below the chest muscle, with incisions made under the breast, around the areola, or under the arm. Recovery takes a few weeks, and risks include infection, scarring, or implant rupture. Implants may need replacing over time, and body changes can affect results.

Breast augmentation refers to a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts, typically using implants or fat transfer.
Breast augmentation is a broader term that includes any procedure to alter the size or shape of the breasts, while breast enlargement specifically focuses on increasing breast size.
Breast enhancement can improve the size, shape, symmetry, and overall appearance of the breasts, either surgically or non-surgically.
The verdict was that it's halal (sanctioned) to augment unusually small breasts, fix features that are causing a person grief, or reverse damage from an accident. But undergoing an unsafe procedure or changing the shape of a “perfect nose” just to resemble a singer or actress is haram (forbidden).
The results of a breast lift can last for many years, but factors such as aging, gravity, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy may affect the longevity of the procedure.
The cost of a breast lift varies depending on the surgeon, location, and extent of the procedure. On average, it ranges from $4,000 to $8,000.
Non-surgical methods, such as exercise, creams, or laser treatments, may provide slight improvements, but they cannot achieve the same results as surgical breast lifts.
A breast lift, or mastopexy, is a surgical procedure that reshapes and raises sagging breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue.
