Step 1
Consider having transaxillary surgery if you want your scar hidden in your underarm area. The advantage of this method is that the scar is undetectable when looking at the breast after surgery.
-
Step 2
Be aware that shaving your underarms may be impossible due to the placement of the post-operative bandages in the first days of healing.
-
Step 3
Expect to achieve a better result for large-sized implants if you choose the transaxillary procedure.
-
Step 1
Communicate your desire to have implant surgery through your navel. This procedure is called transumbilical surgery and is used to avoid areola incisions.
-
Step 2
Realize that the naval can be easily incised to provide a path up through the front of the body. However, saline implants are the only type of implants that can be used for this procedure.
-
Step 3
Decrease the likelihood of lesion complications by choosing transumbilical surgery.
-
Step 4
Know that the transumbilical procedure should be performed by a surgeon who specializes in this method. Low-quality results may be achieved when a surgeon is less experienced with this surgery.
-
Step 1
Know that the areola procedure is commonly used for inserting breast implants. Using this method, the scars tend to heal well.
-
Step 2
Learn that an incision is made at the outer part of the areola, in a half-moon shape. When the wound has healed, the incision is camouflaged by the colored area of the areola.
-
Step 3
Determine which type of implant you want to use. Both silicone and saline can be implanted through the areola because the skin can be stretched to accommodate all implant sizes.
-
Step 1
Select the right type of incision if you are undergoing more than one procedure or enhancement. Use the crease technique if you are having a breast lift and concurrent augmentation procedures.
-
Step 2
Understand the incision point is placed where the breast and rib cage meet.
-
Step 3
Think about the addition of an implant if you are going to have a breast lift. The implant can fill out the expanded skin, creating a pleasant aesthetic appearance.
