There are three different incision choices for placing the breast implant. The implant can be placed through the breast crease, through the areola, or through the armpit. Each incision choice has different advantages. The armpit is a great choice, although I tell patients that this is best if patients have relatively symmetric breasts that don’t require changes to the base…
Breast augmentation is a popular procedure with a high rate of satisfaction. There are many different implant sizes that can produce a great result for each patient. I find that often a more natural result can be the best and most satisfying for the patient. The natural look often allows a breast augmentation to be concealed well in clothes by…
Breast augmentation is a common procedure with a high degree of satisfaction. Patients often wish to undergo breast augmentation in the spring and summer months so that they are ready for summer. One of the more important measurements when preparing for a breast augmentation is to measure the base diameter of the breast. Once the base diameter of the breast…
Breast asymmetry is a common reason for breast augmentation. Breast asymmetry can often be corrected by placing different sizes of breast implants. Often times different breast sizes can be a result of congenital reasons. When the breasts are of different sizes, the bra may not contact the chest wall at the same location and this can be bothersome. One of…
Breast augmentation revision is a common procedure. Patients often wish to increase the size of their mammary prosthesis. Patients may want to exchange their implants for a variety of reasons. Some of the more common reasons for changing implant size is to change the size, change from saline to silicone, or silicone to saline, and a size change is accomplished…
Breast augmentation is a common procedure in the spring and summer months. They take approximately 4-6 weeks to recover from before one can continue with strenuous physical activity. The most important time in breast augmentation recovery is the first two weeks following surgery. Patients often begin to feel good after one week of breast augmentation and choose to perform in…
Tuberous breasts are a result of a congenital abnormality of the breasts. The condition is common among breast augmentation patients. Tuberous breasts are not simply small or underdeveloped breasts, but also include characteristics that include: enlarged, puffy areola, unusually wide spacing between the breasts, minimal breast tissue, sagging, higher than normal breast fold and narrow base at the chest wall.…
There are many reasons why patients may wish to undergo breast augmentation. One reason is to increase the size of their breasts. Another reason is to improve the shape of their breasts. Often, after breastfeeding, patients may have a significant change in the shape of their breasts as their breasts lose volume and change shape. Breast augmentation can improve the…
Removal and replacement of breast implants can be common. One of the more common reasons that a person would want to change the breast implant is to change from a saline implant to a silicone implant. While both implants can produce excellent results, over time the saline implant may lose volume and the inherent rippling to all implants may become…
I have been using the Keller Funnel routinely for my periareolar and transaxillary breast augmentation cases. The Keller Funnel allows me to deliver larger implants through a smaller incision without traumatizing the breast implant, the skin, or having the breast implant come into contact with the skin. I believe strongly that this “no touch technique delivery system” can help reduce…
