Although
breast augmentation
surgery is one of the commonest cosmetic surgery procedures in today's
times, very few women know about the kind & variety of options
available to them in terms of implant types, sizes & incisions for
the procedure.
According to American Society for Aesthetic
Plastic Surgery,
breast augmentation has been the most popular cosmetic surgical
procedure for 3 years in a row & more than 318,000 breast
augmentation procedures were done in USA alone, in 2011. Even though
these numbers give us
an idea about the awareness regarding the
procedure, the fact is that most women are quite ignorant about the
finer details that are very important for the success of your surgery.
Breast Implant Types & Sizes:
While it is universally known that
Breast implants are
of two types, silicone gel implants & saline implants, there are
several other very important factors & details that any female
considering breast augmentation needs to know. Some of them are-
- Implant
surface: The surface of implant is chosen as per individual
requirements. Implants with textured surfaces are mainly used to reduce
the chance of capsular contraction.
- Implant shape: round or shaped
- Implant
placement: Beneath the breast tissue, 'unders' or 'partial unders' or
beneath the pectoral muscle- The ideal breast implant placement depends
on the size of the breast implants, the patient's individual anatomy,
the quality of breast skin and the patient's cosmetic goals.
- Implant profile: how far the implant protrudes
- Implant size or volume: size typically ranges from 120 to 850 cc
- Implant type: saline or silicone
Incisions for Breast Augmentation surgery:
The
breast implant surgery is done by inserting implants either behind or
in front of the pectoral muscle. There are various techniques of
inserting the implant which are chosen by the
surgeon depending
on the patient's preference, type and size of the implant, shape of the
body and the surgeon's expertise with the technique.
The several choices regarding the location of these incisions are:
- Inframammary
Incision - The incision is placed near the crease under the breasts,
slightly above where the breast and rib cage meet.
- Periareolar Incision- This incision is placed between the
Areola, which is the circular area on the breast such as the colored skin surrounding the nipple and the breast skin.
- Transaxillary Incision - Incision in the armpit.
- TUBA
Incision - Also known as scar less incision, this technique involves
placing the implant through the belly button and taking it up to the
breast thereby resulting in no incision and scar on the breast. The
implants used in this technique can only be saline implants which are
inflated after they reach the breast. Silicone implants which are much
superior cannot be used with this technique.
It is important
to discuss the options that suit you best with your treating surgeon.
Please note that it is the treating surgeon who can advise you the
implant and surgical placement that suits you best after a physical
examination.
