Dr. Joe Khoury's Premier Breast Augmentation in Lebanon

Breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as a “boob job” by patients, is a cosmetic procedure that enhances or reshapes breasts by inserting implants behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. These implants are filled with either sterile salt water or silicone. The surgery is typically performed in an outpatient clinic or hospital under general anaesthesia, ensuring a pain-free experience.

However, some choose local anaesthesia, remaining awake but numbed in the breast area. Various techniques for implant placement exist, with factors like implant type, size, and position affecting post-operative pain, aesthetic results, complication risks, and future mammogram needs.
