Thousands of women undergo this procedure every year
with no major after effects. During this consultation,
the changes that you want to make in your appearance
will be discussed. Due to the extremely personal nature
of this decision, you must ensure that you discuss all
of your concerns and desires openly and honestly,
including the size that you want your breasts to be. It
is extremely helpful to show the doctor pictures of
breast sizes that appeal to you. All your options will
be explained to you in detail such as incision types,
the location of the implant, the types of implants that
are available, and whether or not a breast-lift would be
beneficial in your case. |

Depending on the look
you wish to achieve and your unique physical
characteristics you and your doctor will choose from a
variety of implant styles, shapes, sizes and textures.
Some implants give the breast a more rounded appearance,
while others create a breast shaped like a teardrop.

Saline implants
are the most popular implant option in the United
States. The watery sterile saline solution used in
breast implants is isotonic (has the same salt
concentration as the normal cells of the body and the
blood) and presents no health risk to the patient.

The first step in the Breast Augmentation procedure
consists of making an incision and lifting the
breast tissue. The doctor will then create a pocket
in the chest or breast area and then place the
implant, which consists of a soft and
natural-feeling material, in the pocket. |
|
Incisions can be made in one of several areas such
as the crease below the breast, around the areola,
under the armpit, and sometimes, although rarely ,
through the navel. The implant is then placed either
under the breast, or under the chest muscle.
Decision on the placement is made based on several
factors such as the physical anatomy of your
breasts, the soreness after surgery, exercise
activities ( sports such as weightlifting, tennis,
volleyball that directly affect upper body strength)
and potential interference with mammograms. The most
popularly used implant consists of a silicone rubber
sack filled with saline solution, although there are
many other kinds available. |

Technique Breast
Augmentation Summary |
|
| |
Armpit |
 |
| |
The under arm incision is
one of the most common incision locations and is made under
the armpit. Incision patterns vary based on the type of
implant, degree of enlargement desired, patient anatomy, and
patient and surgeon preference.
|
|
| |
Belly Button |
|
| |
A small incision is made
in the belly button. Through the incision, a slender
instrument passes under the skin to a location behind the
breast tissue. Next, a tissue expander is inserted and
placed under the breast. With the expander, a space is
developed to create a pocket for the implant size you
requested. The position and size is verified. Then, an empty
saline implant is placed in the pocked and filled with
sterile saline. The incision is closed with a few absorbable
stitches.
|
|
| |
Nipple |
|
| |
Incisions are made to
keep scars as inconspicuous as possible. The nipple (periareolar)
incision is one of the most common incision locations and is
made under the areola (the pigmented area of skin around the
nipple). Incision patterns vary based on the type of
implant, degree of enlargement desired, patient anatomy, and
patient and surgeon preference.
|
|
| |
Under the Breast |
|
| |
Incisions are closed with
layered, non-removable sutures in the breast tissues.
Sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape are then used to
close the skin. While the incision scars typically fade over
several months. |
