Breast enhancement has been one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures since my practice began in 1973.

Breast augmentation with implants has been the most popular surgical procedure I have performed since the beginning of my practice in 1973. It continues to remain so. However, we have been through some trying times since the 70’s. The government took silicone implants off the market for 14 years because of silicone rupture and alleged [...]

What is best, the implant behind or in front of the muscle? Both positions have advantages and disadvantages.
