There are many techniques and options in breast augmentation that patients will need to consider before surgery. Some of the options to consider include breast implant type, breast implant size, breast implant placement and surgical incision technique.
Breast Implant Type: Saline or Silicone?
While saline breast implants are still very popular and can provide excellent results, silicone gel implants have been gaining popularity since they were reintroduced to the market in 2006. Saline implants are less expensive, allow for a shorter incision, and have a documented history of success in recent years. Silicone implants are highly advanced; they’re lighter, softer, and feel much like natural breast tissue. Visit us for a consultation to discuss the benefits of each breast implant type.
Breast Implant Size
Choosing the right size is important. You’ll want to get a result that satisfies your personal preferences, while maintaining safety and achieving excellent body proportion. Breast implants are measured by volume in milliliters – not bra size.
Breast Implant Placement
Plastic surgeons can place breast implants above, below, or partially below the chest muscles. To determine which placement method is appropriate, Dr. Leff evaluates factors such as your body type, skin quality, and chosen implant type.
Breast Augmentation Incisions
Surgical incisions for breast augmentation allow a variety of options for minimizing the appearance of scars, while achieving a great aesthetic outcome. The incision allows Dr. Leff access to the breast pocket, where the breast implant is placed and centered below the nipple. Incisions can be made near the underarm, underneath the breast, around the areola, or in the navel.
