Hi- I recently posted a Q with 3 pix of my breasts. I was wondering just GENERALLY what the docs thought about sizing and shape that I can achieve based on what I have to work with. One of the docs said, since my breast/nipple are further apart, that going through the nipple would be best so they can make it closer together. That would be my goal. Natural cleavage and bigger/closer together breasts. Pic below again. Can this be achieved by going through the armpit or breast fold too? Ty!
Answer: Too many bad answers from the 'experts' I'm sorry that we all look like experts and we know what we are talking about, but unfortunately it's not true. This is the argument I've had with the authorities who run this website for over 15 years. Realself may have started out with the mission of helping the patient, but that quickly morphed into a site that takes money from any doc who still has a medical license and letting them answer important questions from people looking for guidance. First, your anatomy does not preclude you from having an excellent result from breast augmentation. Second, the surgeon's statement you quoted about periareolar incisions having any benefit over any other incision for whatever reason is false. Third, as I've mentioned to you prior, periareolar incisions put you at highest risk for implant contamination and capsular contracture. I'll say it again, and it's all in the scientific literature: inframammary incision, subpectoral placement, antibiotic and antiseptic wash out, funnel delivery of the implants. Immediate post operative range of motion stretching.

Answer: Inframammary incision Thanks for your question! I can't give you a good idea on recommendations without measurements or goal/wish looks, size, photos, etc. However, I would probably recommend something in a full or moderate profile of a moderate size (since you appear petite). I would also do an inframammary incision and I think that will hide nicely in your fold. Good luck!

Answer: THANKS FOR ASKING Hello, thank you for asking, placing the implants through the areola does not make the nipples closer, the only way to make the nipples and areolas closer is by cutting and removing skin and bringing them closer, which would leave a scar on the entire areola, I I recommend that you place the implants through the armpit or through the breast fold, they will look very good, your areolas are at a normal distance from what can be seen in the photos, the distance will not increase, it will be the same as now.

Answer: Breasts You could have good results with the incision under the breasts or around the lower areola. I do not use the axillary incision because of increased risks and difficulty reusing the incision.

Answer: Location of incision The location of the incision to place an implant does not change the spacing of your breast. We cannot move the breasts from side to side, but it actually looks as if you have some good cleavage albeit your left breast is a little bit more lateral to the right breast.

Answer: Cleavage Generally speaking, the implants need to be centred behind the nipples regardless of whether they are placed via the periareolar, inframammary fold, or other. If they aren’t, your nipples may end up pointing off to the side and look odd. While implants may increase your cleavage, they can only do so much. It would be best to speak with your surgeon to find out how much cleavage you can expect.
