Armpit |
 |
|
The under arm incision is
one of the most common incision locations and is made under
the armpit. Incision patterns vary based on the type of
implant, degree of enlargement desired, patient anatomy, and
patient and surgeon preference.
|
|
|
Belly Button |
 |
|
A small incision is made
in the belly button. Through the incision, a slender
instrument passes under the skin to a location behind the
breast tissue. Next, a tissue expander is inserted and
placed under the breast. With the expander, a space is
developed to create a pocket for the implant size you
requested. The position and size is verified. Then, an empty
saline implant is placed in the pocked and filled with
sterile saline. The incision is closed with a few absorbable
stitches.
|
|
|
Nipple |
 |
|
Incisions are made to
keep scars as inconspicuous as possible. The nipple (periareolar)
incision is one of the most common incision locations and is
made under the areola (the pigmented area of skin around the
nipple). Incision patterns vary based on the type of
implant, degree of enlargement desired, patient anatomy, and
patient and surgeon preference.
|
|
|
Under the Breast |
 |
|
Incisions are closed with
layered, non-removable sutures in the breast tissues.
Sutures, skin adhesive or surgical tape are then used to
close the skin. While the incision scars typically fade over
several months. |

Depending on the look
you wish to achieve and your unique physical
characteristics you and your doctor will choose from a
variety of implant styles, shapes, sizes and textures.
Some implants give the breast a more rounded appearance,
while others create a breast shaped like a teardrop.

Saline implants
are the most popular implant option in the United
States. The watery sterile saline solution used in
breast implants is isotonic (has the same salt
concentration as the normal cells of the body and the
blood) and presents no health risk to the patient.
