I am 50 and considering post menopausal breast implants as things have shriveled since menopause. I am considering through the nipple as I hear it is the best scar and always hidden when clothed. I also want it to be under the muscle. Can the breast implant go under the muscle from the nipple approach?
Answer: Breast Augmentation Approach 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

Answer: Submuscular Saline Implants with Peri-areolar Incision 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.

Answer: The periareolar incision may increase the risk for capsular contracture. 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.

Answer: Breast augmentation incisions 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
