| Breast Enlargement Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Aftercare | The patient care and treatment received after breast augmentation surgery. |
| Anatomical Implants | These are teardrop shaped implants i.e. they are wider in profile at the bottom than they are at the top. They are intended to provide a more natural breast shape than a round implant. |
| Areola | The pigmented or darker colored area of skin surrounding the nipple of the breast. |
| Areolar Vertical Approach (AVA) Incision | The incision is the same as the periareolar but a more extended submuscular pocket is left for silicon gel implants. |
| Asymmetry | A lack of proportion of shape, size and position on opposite sides of the body. |
| Auto-immune Disease | A disease in which the body mounts an attack response to its own tissues or cell types. |
| Biopsy | Removal and examination of sample tissue for diagnosis. |
| Breast Augmentation | Surgical enlargement of the breast by insertion of a breast implant or by addition of the patient's own tissue. |

| Breast Enlargement Pills | These are supplements which are taken orally and are claimed to increase the size of the breasts. |
| Breast Enlargement Suction Pumps | These are mechanical devices where are placed over the breasts forming and air tight seal. Air is sucked out via a pump to reduce the pressure over the breasts. This process is claimed to increase the breast size of some women who use it. |
| Breast Reconstruction | Surgical restoration of the natural breast contour and size following mastectomy, disease or trauma. |
| Capsular Contracture | Tightening of the body's fibrous tissue surrounding a breast implant which results in a firmer breast. |

| Closed Capsulotomy | Compression (e.g. firm massage) on the outside of the breast to break the capsule and relieve contracture. |
| Contoured Implants | See anatomical implants. |
| Hematoma | A swelling or mass of blood (usually clotted) confined to an organ, tissue, or space and caused by a break in a blood vessel. |
| Hyaluronic Acid (Macrolane) Gel Injections | A gel containing hyaluronic acid is injected into the breast tissue in order to increase the volume of the breast without surgery. It can be performed with a local anaesthetic and the effects last for around 9 to 12 months. |
| Immune Response | The reaction of the body to foreign bodies or substances. |
| Implant Displacement | Shifting of the breast implants from their original position. |
| Implant Extrusion | A lump or bump on the breast caused by the implant not being positioned correctly or by the implant forcing its way through a weakness in the natural breast tissue or muscle. |
| Implant Ridges & Rippling | Ripples, folds, creases or ridges may appear on the breasts. This is typically caused by implants shrinking slightly with age. |
| Implant Rupture | A hole or tear appears in the breast implant shell. Depending upon the nature of the implant, the contents may or may not leak out into the breast tissue. |
| Infection | An attack on the body by a foreign body or substance. |
