lybrate-user, There are many ways to get a breast augmentation done. Silicone is one of them - the problem with silicone implants is that they start giving trouble after 10-11 years and they need to be changed after that period. Also capsular contracture is a common problem which can give rise to pain along with these implants. Autologous fat grafting, in which fat is taken from your thigh or abdomen and inserted into the breasts to augment the size is one of the most natural ways to augment the breast and you can consider that as one of the options for your cousin.
