Breast surgery is performed to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. Surgery typically improves the individual's self image.

Historically breast enlargement has been accomplished by one of three methods with varying results of success.

Inert material, such as silicone and paraffin, has been injected directly into the parenchymal tissue to effect an increased size of the breast. This method has been abandoned because of the exceedingly high incidence of both acute and long-term complications. Granulomas are frequent, as are complications of skin loss and scar contracture producing excessive disfigurement.
