Mammoplasty

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mammoplasty can refer to the surgical procedure to insert cheek implants or augmentation mammoplasty, an enlarging of the breasts via implants. It most often refers to the latter.

Cheek implants used for this procedure are usually made of solid silicone which is inserted generally through the mouth and secured above the cheekbones to give more facial definition and improve the face.
