1) pinyin, it's long2

long1 is a very rare reading for this character, there's no logical reason why it would be used here of all places

the dicts agree:
隆胸【现代汉语规范词典】 lónɡxiōnɡ[动]女性用手术、药物调理等方法使乳房丰满。

also confirmed with a native speaker

2) it's a verb (as mentioned in the above quote), 隆 (to bulge, to swell) + 胸 (breast) = to enlarge breasts, breasts enlarging (dict.cn agrees, btw)
Diff:
- 隆胸 隆胸 [long1 xiong1] /breast implants/boob job/
# + 隆胸 隆胸 [long2 xiong1] /to enlarge breasts/breasts enlarging/
+ 隆胸 隆胸 [long2 xiong1] /to enlarge the breasts/breast enlargement/
