Still in discovery and info stage of decision of doing this.doing this? Is it better for anyone one way or another? Dependig on size, chance of losing sensation in nipples or having hyper nipple sensation?, placement?, previous implants? What do I consider in making that choice?

Answer: How about beautiful breasts without scars on the breasts? from all the choices axillary (armpit) incision makes most sense. If possible (not for all women) this it the best, secure , safe and most predictable approach. It allows larger more beautiful breast without breasts scars. n rit hands it has minimal complication rate and predictable minimally invasive scars. For skille surgeons it is preferred way to perform breast enhancement

Answer: All Incisions Are Very Safe, But Periareolar Does Raise the Risk of Changes in Nipple Sensation Thank you for your question. All the incision placements are extremely safe. The periareolar incision does raise the risk, although still low, of changes in nipple sensation. It also requires more dissection through the breast tissue itself to get to the pocket in the breast where the implant will sit. It also puts the implant in contact with the milk ducts, which harbor a bacteria which can be a risk factor for capsular contracture. (I put a waterproof, clear, plastic dressing over the nipples during surgery regardless of implant placement to account for this.) One final factor in evaluating the periareolar incision is if you intend to breastfeed in the future. I tend to favor the inframammary fold incision, but I do perform all three common incisions.Good luck, and for more information about other choices to be made before undergoing breast augmentation, take a look at the Guide to Breast Augmentation on my website from the web reference below. I discuss common patient questions I receive, silicone versus saline implants, round versus anatomically shaped implants, smooth versus texturized implants, implant manufacturer, implant insertion incision location, implant location inside the breast, and more.

Answer: Breast Augmentation Incisions There are currently three incisions used for breast augmentation surgery. These include the peri-areolar, trans-axillary and inframammary approaches. All three of these incisions have advantages and disadvantages when used for this procedure.When choosing an incision, most women's primary concern is scarring. All three incisions are associated with scarring to some degree, but the impact of this scarring is dependent upon the patient's lifestyle. For this reason, the incision should be based on the individual patient's needs. For instance, a trans-axillary approach might result in a highly visible scar in a sand volleyball player who brings her arms over her head and, therefore, may not be the best option in this patient.In the majority of patients, we prefer an inframammary approach. This incision is nicely hidden when wearing most types of clothing. In addition, it releases the muscles from the chest wall along the inframammary fold which allows for a more natural look.The choice of incision in most cases is decided by anatomic findings in combination with personal lifestyle choices. For these reasons, it's important to thoroughly discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery.

Answer: What Would Determine Nipple Incision Vs. Under Breast Vs. Armpit Preference for a Person? Thank you for the question. There are several good approaches to breast augmentation surgery; different surgeons will have their own preferences. In my practice, I prefer the inframammary or infrareolar approach for most patients. Despite what you may hear, I think most patients can have the infraareola incision used regardless of the size of breast implants or size of areola. The Keller funnel has made the insertion of all sizes of breast implants much easier. I think of the funnel has also made it easier to perform a true "no touch" technique ( potentially decreasing the incidence of breast implant encapsulation). Personally, I think the advantages of the infraareolar incision far outweigh any theoretical disadvantages. These advantages include proximity to the planned dual plane submuscular pocket dissection, relatively hidden/forgiving location of scarring, coverage by clothing/swimming suit etc.Best wishes.
