Types of Breast Augmentation Incisions
Incisions are made in the sequence where the ensuing scars appear.
The various types of incisions, which are not immediately evident, include:
Inframammary
- A cosmetic surgeon can precisely place larger silicone or gummy bear implants using this type of incision, which is performed in the fold beneath the breast (inframammary fold).
- Through this incision, the surgeon inserts the implant. If one is young, slender, and not having kids, the scar can be a little more noticeable.
Peri areolar
- The area around the areola’s periphery is cut. Through this incision, the implant is implanted.
- With this approach, one can experience greater issues in nursing and breast numbness.
Trans-axillary
- This procedure involves making a small incision in the armpit to insert a camera and technological tools for breast augmentation; there is no scar on the breast as a result, only at the armpit.
- An endoscope may be used by the surgeon to carry out this procedure. This device has a camera and medical equipment at the end. The cut is used to insert the endoscope.
- Your breast will not have any scars. However, you can have a scar that is visible on the bottom of your arm.
Trans umbilical
- This method entails making an incision just above the navel. The benefit is that there are no scars on the breast itself because each implant is placed through this incision and then taken up to the breast.
- One could have an incision made close to your belly button to insert a saline implant. The implant is elevated to the breast region using an endoscope.
- The implant is then saline-filled once it has been put in.
Fat transfer breast augmentation
Using liposuction, your surgeon will remove fat from another part of your body and then inject it into your breasts as part of a fat transfer breast augmentation. This kind of augmentation is typically chosen by patients who want a modest increase in breast size. The majority of the time, your surgeon will remove fat from one of the following locations:
- The stomach.
- The sides and lower back of the abdomen, or the flanks.
- The back.
- The thighs.
The following factors may be impacted by the kind, size, and method of the implant:
- The degree of discomfort following the operation
- The way the breasts appear look
- Potential possibility of the implant cracking or leaking
- In order to visualize mammography in the future, more views will be needed.
The doctor can advise patients on the best course of action.
