Trans axillary subpectoral augmantation mamoplasy may be for you.
The published reports of nipple sensation loss for periareolar incision by Goldwin is 10 to 15%. The rate of nipple sensation loss of inframamary incision is less at about 5% I am publishing my results of 1600 cases of transaxillary subpectoral augmentation soon and have minimal loss of sensation of nipple. The further away from the nerve you are the less the chance of loss of nipple sensation I believe. The transaxillary approach is harder to do, and takes more...

You can't order up a breast augmentation like dinner at a restaurant
You need to understand that breast augmentation is a real surgery with real potential consequences and that the result depends partly on whom you have do it AND what your body brings to the table and allows you to have. You can't just dictate the process like ordering from a menu. Since you show Dr. Teitelbaum's patient, why not start there?
But there are so many great breast surgeons in CA, AZ that you really need to go to one who will help you understand what...

Breast augmentation ; more doctors than you can shake a stick at
Obviously there are a lot of surgeons who do breast augmentation. The decision to have a breast procedure is somewhat complex in that there are multiple elements that need to be reviewed in making that decision. You have mentioned 3 elements: a type of implant, a surgical approach, and a possible complication ( nerve damage).
A through discussion with you of all the elements involved in breast augmentation is imparitive. Your doctor needs to know who you are...

Shopping for a plastic surgeon
The state of affairs in Plastic Surgery is such that you will eventually find a surgeon who will do what you want which may or may not be what you need. There are some studies that indicate incision location has less of an impact on nipple sensation than implant size. Depending upon your anatomy and the size of the implant, a transaxillary approach might not be best for you. In my opinion, the revision rate is higher on transaxillary augmentations and if a revision is indicated you will...

Breast augmentation
Studies show that loss of nipple sensation after breast augmentation will be around 10%. Larger augmentation should have a higher rate versus smaller implants. In my practice it seems I have less than 10% loss of sensation rate but I honestly don't know what the number is because I don't keep an accurate track of this and I would say the vast majority of surgeons don't either. Just know that the loss of sensation is about 10% maybe slightly better. Questions like that will...

nerve damages extremely are rare after breast augmentation surgery
Thank you very much for your enquiry, nerve damages extremely are rare after breast augmentation surgery and you need to talk to your surgeon about the of changes in nose sensation with the patients he treated.
I don't think it's possible for any surgeon to fully reduce the risk of nerve damage completely but it certainly would be sensible to discuss this fully with them.
Best wishes yours sincerely,

Don't tie the Surgeon's hands behind his back, to avoid numb nipples.
If you torture statistics long enough, they will admit to anything. Saying that Trans-Axillary Augmentation (which I do at my California office) has the lowest numbness rate, simply because of the incision location may not be true. Other factors affect the neuroanatomy of the breast. My numbness rate infra-mammary might be lower than another surgeon's trans-ax record, simply because he uses the electrocaudery more. Don't get tunnel vision. Surgery is multi-factorial...

Breast augmentation -getting it right the first time
Statistics are funny as if you take a town where half the people are short and the other half are tall and make a pair of pants for the average citizen no one will fit them properly. You say 0 to 5% but if you get it it is 100% for you. Then where does that leave you? If you came in to my office with this list and were not a good candidate for a transaxillary incision (i.e. had asymmetric badly aligned nipples) I would refuse to operate on you.
Since the photos you posted are the before...
