Can Breast Implants placed through the nipple also be placed under the muscle?

Yes! That being said, you may be also be a good candidate for the breast fold or even the armpit approaches. I enjoy the Transaxillary approach with an endoscopic camera. The scar is totally hidden and dissection is done while watching the movements on a screen for exact precision. It's a great option if your body allows for it.Best of Luck!Dr Shifrin

It is quite feasible to place implants underneath the muscle through a perioareolar incision (through the nipple), and that is where they are routinely placed.   There is data that indicates that silicone gel implants placed through this incision have a higher incidence of capsular contracture, probably because implants placed through this incision come into contact with the breast tissue while they are being placed, which increases the risk of small amounts of bacteria rubbing off on the implant which then cause inflammation.  Saline implants are placed before they are filled, so that is one point in favor of saline if a periareolar incision is preferred.

Thank you for your question!  You can absolutley have your implants placed under the muscle, through the nipple.  Find a board certified plastic surgeon who preforms these routinley.  Best of luck! Dr Dhaval Patel Double Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Chicago Hoffman EstatesOak Brook

The #peri-areolar #incision is ideal for saline implants. They require a smaller incision because they are not filled until they are inside the bodyRippling of saline implants can of be experienced in patients who are thinner or leaner. However, this rarely occurs if the placement is #submuscular.

Yes,
implants can be placed using a circumareola incision and under the muscle.However, since your breasts are shriveled,
you would benefit from a simultaneous skin excision.The goal of breast surgery is to create
beautiful breasts.Beauty is determined
by several factors including position of the breast on the chest wall, skin
tone, symmetry, cleavage, position of the areola and volume.22% of women who undergo breast augmentation
alone require revision within 2 years because they are dissatisfied with the
result.Frequent causes of
dissatisfaction are over implantation and not performing a simultaneous lift
when needed.I recommend a new technique
called Breast Augmentation with Mini Ultimate Breast LiftTM.Using only a circumareola incision it is
possible to reshape your breast tissue creating upper pole fullness, elevate
them higher on the chest wall and more medial to increase your cleavage.Through the same incision, implants can be
placed.Aligning the areola, breast
tissue and implant over the bony prominence of the chest wall maximizes
anterior projection with a minimal size implant.Small round textured silicone gel implants
placed retro-pectoral look and feel more natural, are more stable, less likely
to ripple or have complications needing revision.Implant profile is irrelevant in the
retro-pectoral position since the muscle compresses it.Best Wishes,Gary Horndeski, M.D.

Implants can certainly be placed in a sub muscular position using the periareolar approach. However I am less inclined to go through the areola these days in that there may be a higher risk for capsular contracture. Dragging the implants from breast tissue which is a requirement of a periareolar approach subjects the implant to contamination by bacteria.

Any breast augmentation scar is well hidden by clothing. You can have incision around the lower half of the areola. You must have an adequate sized areola for this approach. Good luck. Earl Stephenson Jr, M.D., DDS, FACS

Thank you for the question. Absolutely breast implants can be placed under the muscle through either a direct nipple approach which is infrequently done or through a periareolar approach and that is more commonly done. Best of luck!Dr. Khuthaila 

Yes, implants can be placed through the areola and behind the muscle.  All saline implants canbe placed this way.  For silicone implants, several things come into play to determine if the timpant can be placed through a peri-areolar incision: the areola diameter, the size of the implant, the projecton of the implant, the shell of the implant and the cohesiveness of the gel.  However, I do not agree with your blanket statement that the areola scar is the best.  You should discuss the pros and cons of the different incisions with your plastic surgeon.

Yes, breast implants can be placed under the muscle if the incision is around the nipple areola complex.  I would recommend that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to determine if this approach is feasible for you.  Good luck!
