There are many reasons that women choose to undergo breast augmentation procedures. For some, it may be to address the size of the breasts, for others it may be important to restore volume after pregnancy, or it could be to reconstruct your body after a mastectomy. Regardless of your reason, breast augmentation can be a great way to restore your confidence and body image. At the office of Dr. Mark H. Tseng in Kirkland, WA, we offer several different types of breast augmentation including fat transfer augmentations.
Breast augmentation is defined as the artificial enlargement of the breasts. Breast augmentations can be accomplished in several different ways either through the placement of implants or internal fat transfers.
