This web site was created to inform patients about breast augmentation from a medical perspective and dispel many of the rumors which are passed around public forums and non-medical web sites.
A breast augmentation, when performed by an experienced surgeon, can safely enhance the natural beauty of a woman's body. AllAboutBreastImplants.com will help educate the patient about both the safety and the risk of breast augmentation from a medical perspective. As with any medical procedure there is a potential for complications and there are certain things the patient should know about augmentation when entering into this procedure. When considering augmentation, multiple variables should be considered. These include the position of the implant, the type of implant and the placement of the incision.
The implant can be placed in the subglandular position (over the muscle), or submuscular (under the muscle). There are many benefits of placing the implant under the muscle which include better shape, lower risk of capsular contracture and improved mammogram. Other things that should be considered are the type of implant and the placement of the incision. Types of implants include saline and silicone. One must also consider the shape and texture of the implant as well.
All these factors should be considered prior to undergoing an augmentation. One of the most important decisions maybe the placement of the incision. Sometimes factors such as the breast shape or size may necessitate a certain incision; however, this should be discussed with the surgeon. Options for incisions include periarealor incision, inframammary incision, or an axillary incision. Most surgeons have abandoned the umbilical incision because of the high complication rate. Our preference at Destin Plastic Surgery is to perform a small incision in the hair bearing portion of the axilla. This is a technically advanced approach to breast augmentation which requires the use of sophisticated cameras and retractors for placement of the implant; however, this allows for gentle manipulation of tissues and precise placement of the implant while avoiding a scar on the breast. Scars on the breast can be unsightly and detract from the overall beauty of the breast.
