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.
Technique 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
