I'm a 27 y.o. mother of two i breast fed each for 6 months each. I'm very interested in getting a breast augmentation as I went from a 34C pre-pregnancy to a 34DD while breast feeding, NOW a 34A-B and a bit deflated. I'm looking into the textured gummy bear implant, I can't decide on round or shaped yet. I'm Latina and have a history of keloids, even with scar therapy. So is it possible to have the textured gummy bear implant inserted through the areola where there's less of a chance of keloids?

Answer: Textured Anatomic Gummy Bear Breast Implant: Advantages and disadvantages The 5th generation cohesive gel breast implants have advantages and disadvantages over gel implants. The cohesive silicone helps protect against silicone bleed or migration after rupture, as well the cohesive gel helps to shape the breast. Advantage for this implant may be in the deflated breast, the thin, athletic breast, and in breast reconstruction after mastectomy. These implants are firmer and less forgiving because of their shape. Precise pocket dissection helps to ensure them from moving and rotating. They do require a larger incision for placement and a periareolar approach is likely not the best choice for placement. A round, smooth 5th generation breast implant would be possible through a periareolar approach.

Answer: What incision to use for breast augmentation If your areola is large enough and the implant small enough, one could insert the gummy bear implant through the areola. However, as it needs a larger incision, it can create trauma even when using a funnnel. If you are a ture keloid former I would be worried about the armpit incision. If you keloid there, it is very hard to conceal in sun dresses and bathing suits. Keeping a fold incision as short as the funnel allows could be an option. There are excellent scar treatments available afterwards including Embrace therapy. Consult in person with a board-certified plastic surgeon and ask all your questions.Click on the link below to see a healed Sientra implant augmentation with a fold incision.
