How it's used
This term is strictly used for surgical procedures and carries a clinical or objective tone. It is not used to describe natural breast development or weight gain. When discussing the procedure informally, people often refer to it as 僭建, which is a slang term borrowed from building construction meaning illegal structures.
Examples
She recently got breast augmentation and seems much more confident.
Do you think your figure will look better after breast augmentation?
