| Breast Augmentation involves surgical placement
of Saline Implants in a submuscular space to enhance
breast size and shape. Our doctors prefer to place
saline breast implants beneath the pectoralis
muscles in most cases to limit implant edge visibility,
and the tendency to show visible wrinkling of
the breast implant if it is closer to the skin
surface. Further, placement beneath the muscle
moves the implants to a position where there is
minimal interference with future mammography and
breast diagnostics.
Our doctros usually accomplish sub-muscular placement
of breast implants via the axillary (arm-pit)
approach, thus avoiding the potential for heavy
scarring on the breasts, and further, limiting
the potential for injury to nerves to the skin
and nipples. This approach provides a very natural
contour, while allowing a substantial breast size
increase and an earlier return to activity with
no breast incision to protect. Apart from just
achieving enlargement of the breasts, Breast Augmentation
Mammaplasty can also be used to adjust the shape,
size and volume of uneven sized breasts (asymmetry),
and as an adjunct to correct certain breast deformity
or deformities, as well as to facilitate reconstruction
of the breast after mastectomy.
