If you are looking to have breast enlargement surgery then you will have a lot of options to consider. First, you will need to decide if you want to have a saline implant or silicone implant. Then you will need to consider the many placement options for the scar. Breast enlargement surgery will effect your life for a long time, so you will want to consider your options carefully.
Silicone implants were the original option for breast enlargement. They are the most natural feeling and looking implant, as they are filled with silicone gel. However, there have been safety concerns about them, and they have had to be reinvented to be fully safe. They also require a large incision to insert than the alternative implant.
The other option for breast enlargement is saline implants. These are much safer than silicone implants. Even if they leak, they will just leak salt into your body, not a chemical gel. They require a smaller incision, as they are inserted as an empty shell and filled when they are in the breast. However, they are prone to wrinkling and rippling, which do not look natural. To avoid these effects, they should be placed under the muscle of the breast.
After you decide which type of implant you want, you need to decide on an incision location. The inframmatory incision is the only incision available to those wanting a silicone implant for their breast enlargement. It is made in the crease under the breast, where the breast meets the chest. This location allows for a larger incision in order to fit a full silicone implant. This also means that there will be a larger and more visible scar.
A periareolar incision is one that can only be used for the saline implants. It is a cut around the edge of the nipple. For those looking for a lift as well as breast enlargement, this is a good option, as the inframmatory cut is not conducive to a lift. The implant shell will be inserted around the nipple and filled when it is securely in the breast. Since the cut will be around the edge of the nipple, there will be no visible scarring.
The transaxillary incision is another incision that is best for the saline implants. It is made in the armpit. Since the doctor must move the implants a good distance, there is the risk of asymmetry or misalignment, which do not look natural. Because of this risk, many doctors routinely use an endoscope in this breast enlargement procedure to know where they are going.
The final option for incision placement it the transumbillical incision. This is an incision made around the rim of the belly button. The saline shells are moved up to the breast, aided by an endoscope. Even with the endoscope, though, there is a greater risk for misalignment or asymmetry than with any other breast enlargement incision option. Some women like this because is can be combined with a tummy tuck. When the two surgeries are combined, it is called a transabdominoplasty incision.
Every option in breast enlargement surgery has a pro and a con. Consider each option carefully before you choose how you want your surgery done. Discuss the difference between saline and silicone implants with your doctor. Also discuss all of the locations for the incision. You want your breast enlargement to come out just right.
