                    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.

                    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.

                    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.

                    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.

                        Many of out of town patients have their initial physical exam and consultation immediately 
                          prior to scheduled surgery. During this consultation, the doctors will discuss the surgery in 
                          full detail.
