Getting breast implants is a big decision and deciding what plastic surgeon will perform your breast augmentation surgery is an even bigger decision. The fact is, breast augmentation surgery is not a cookie-cutter procedure.Â There are numerous different techniques used by plastic surgeons to place breast implants. Knowledge of these different techniques may help you decide what type of surgery you want and what surgeon you will work with.

The inframammary incision is by and large the most common choice among plastic surgeons. This incision is made in the fold of the breast where it meets the chest. When a plastic surgeon uses the inframammary incision they will make the incision and slide the implant up into a pocket they create for the implant under the nipple.

The advantage of this incision is that it gives the plastic surgeon more options for implant placement and more visibility of the chest to work with. The obvious disadvantage of this incision is the size of the scar. However, most women find the scar is concealed by the natural fold of the breast.

The periareolar incision is an incision that is placed along the outline of areola the nipple. This incision is small and gives a plastic surgeon more ability to precisely shape the pocket for shaping and placement. It also allows for more control of over bleeding during the procedure. Depending on the areola the scar from this type of incision may be completely invisible.

Transaxillary incisions are made in the armpit using the natural folds of the skin to disguise them. When a plastic surgeon uses a transaxillary incision during breast augmentation surgery they use and endoscope to create a channel to the breast. That channel is used to place and fill the breast implant. Many people choose the transaxillary incision because it is not located on the breast.

The TUBA incision is made on the rim of the navel. When a plastic surgeon uses a TUBA incision during breast augmentation surgery a tunnel is created under the skin through the surface layers of fat from the navel to the breast. The tunnel is used to insert and fill the implant. The obvious advantage is to the TUBA incision is that there are no scars on or near the breast.

There are a variety of plastic surgery procedures and non-surgical treatments available to improve the appearance of your breasts. If you are interested in breast augmentation in Orlando, a talented plastic surgeon can transform the way you look and feel.
