Breast Augmentation or Augmentation Mammoplasty is a procedure
to make the breasts larger, fuller and in some cases more
youthful looking. It is accomplished by placing an implant,
either a silicone bag filled with salt water or silicone gel,
behind the breast and/or the pectorals major muscle.
The
implants can be placed via one of 4 incisions. One along the
bottom fold of the breast called the inframammary incision,
one that parallels the inferior border of the nipple-areolas
complex called the peri-areola incision, one in the arm pit or
axilla called the axillary approach and finally one through
the umbilicus or belly button called the umbilical approach.
In all cases
my goal is to use that incision and implant that will give the
most natural result. As this is real surgery there are
potential complications and these will be discussed at your
consultation. Thousands of women each year choose to enhance
their breasts through augmentation mammoplasty so this is a
very popular and safe operation. |
