Trans-Axillary breast augmentation allows implants to be placed through the armpit without a visible scar on the breast or chest wall. Revision of the implant is possible through the same trans-axillary incision but can be challenging. Silicone implants can be placed through the trans-axillary incision, but the volume may be slightly limited. Patient satisfaction is high with the trans-axillary incision.…
Breast augmentation is a common procedure to improve the shape or appearance of the breast and increase the breast size. There are many incision choices for breast augmentation. One of the more common incision choices is periareolar. This incisions tends to heal very well with minimal scarring. Patient satisfaction is quite high with breast augmentation.
Secondary mastopexy augmentation is when a mastopexy augmentation is performed in a previously augmented or operated breast. In these patients it is important to take significant attention to the previous plane of the implant and previous incisions to be able to discern the remaining blood supply to the breast. In the secondary mastopexy augmentation it is quite common to perform…
Secondary breast augmentation procedures are common. A secondary breast augmentation procedure commonly occurs when patients have had there breast implants in place for greater than 10 years. Both saline and silicone gel implants are surrounded by a silicone elastomer shell. Over time, with repeated folding, the shell can break. If a patient has saline implants, a break in the shell…
Breast augmentation is a procedure with a high patient satisfaction rate. There are two different implant options for breast augmentation. Patients can either select from silicone or saline mammary prosthesis. Patients can have saline breast reconstruction with excellent results.
Breast augmentation is one of the more common aesthetic procedures performed and patients tend to be very happy with the procedure. The most common implants selected tend to be silicone gel implants. Silicone gel implants tend to be associated with less rippling and tend to be lighter. The recovery for breast augmentation is typically about 4 weeks before patients can…

Breast implants are common procedures and there are various incision choices that people can choose to have their breast implants placed. Each incision choice has different pros and cons. There are three common choices periareolar, inframammary crease, and transaxillary.
Breast augmentations are common procedures. One of the more common questions patients ask is which one is the best incision choice. There are three common options to place the breast implant. The breast implant can be placed through a periareolar incision (through the areola), an infra-mammary crease incision (breast crease), or the transaxillary (armpit) incision. There are several different benefits…
Synmastia occurs when breast implants migrate to the center of the chest and cross the midline or when the two breast implant pockets join together. Correction of synmastia is challenging and often requires significant changes to the implant pocket and or change of plane of the mammary prosthesis in order to correctly re-position the breast implants on the chest wall.…
