Breast augmentation : implants through nipple or under arm?

glenda — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 04:23:34 +0000

Is it better to have a breast augmentation through the nipples or under arm? Why?

It depends on whether you are doing the implants on top of your pectoral muscle or underneath it. A good plastic surgeon will evaluate your body type (slender, athletic, large-boned, etc.) and determine what kind of implant is best. Once the implant type is determined, the surgeon will discuss with you the options you have – underarm, nipple, underneath the breast or even belly button. The type of implant will also determine the cost. As for pain, the actual surgery doesn't hurt because you are sedated. When you wake up there is pain because of the implants but you are provided prescriptions for pain killers.

Indianapolis Breast Augmentation Plastic Surgeon

Patients undergoing “augmentation mammoplasty” generally have expectations in terms of size and post-op confidence. When it comes to size, there are three different types: proportional, proportional plus (more than average), and expander implants. Most women opt for either the proportional or proportional plus. You should bear in mind that the operation does not intend to explicitly change your life, but many patients do gain a great deal of pride.

Important factors in how the surgery is performed are; 1) Placement of incision, 2) Type of implant, and 3) Placement of the implant. Dr. Zollman uses the inferior periareolar (located around the areola) incision, which is placed just on the border of normal- and darker-colored skin, nicely hiding the scar. He then places the implant in a sub muscular position, giving the implant an elastic, vascular covering. Lastly, he uses saline implants (with a solid silicone outer shell), which are flexible and stay soft.

Breast Augmentation Complications

glenda — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 05:13:10 +0000

Breast enhancement is being increasingly used today. Once thought only to be something that celebrities or rich people had done, breast augmentation is now frequent among all strata’s of the general population. Whilst the finished surgical results typically work really well, improving the patient’s perceived outlook and lives, what must be remembered are the small but not irrelevant associated potential risks. This is after all surgery, a highly invasive procedure that requires the careful consultation and application of experts.

Breast enhancement surgery can lead to a whole host of complications, two of which are mentioned below:

Necrosis:

This is where injury and/ or disease kills off groups of cells around the implant in the weeks after surgery. Such an occurrence makes the healing of the wound surrounding the implant difficult. In the worst cases the implant may have to be removed to enable the affected area to be effectively cleaned and then healed.

Necrosis of breast tissue can be more likely if the patient:

smokes
already has an infection
uses steroids
undergoes heat or cold therapy
undergoes radiation/ chemotherapy

What can be left from a case of necrosis is large permanent scarring. Surgeons can apply silver nitrate (or other similar anti-infection chemical) to a recent scar that appears to be re-opening soon after implants surgery. The cessation of smoking is highly recommended prior to breast surgery, in particular when having a breast lift. Breast lifts need a larger quantity of incisions which can increase the chances of less than adequate oxygen supply to regions of the breast, further promoting the chance of necrosis.

Capsular contracture:

Any object inserted in a living human will be surrounded by a protective tissue lining frequently termed a ’tissue capsule’, ’scar capsule’, or simply a ‘capsule’. This lining is not identical to the regular scar tissue.

Capsular contracture is the most widely seen of the breast enhancement complications, although possible at any time it is most frequent in the first few months after surgery.

Breast enhancement surgery involves the cutting of tissue to create the hole for the implant to fit into. Once the implants are in this so called ‘pocket’ a very fibrous tissue develops, i.e. the capsule. Scar tissue is genetically programmed to shrink to a certain degree. In some people the scar tissue will not shrink noticeably, in others shrinking places pressure on the implants making them seem quite tough and rigid.

Under pressure the breasts can become physically distorted, later becoming firm and ball-like. What can increase the risk of capsular contracture are:

Patients that smoke
Past cases of seroma
Past incidences of haematomas can aggravate the capsule, i.e. inflammation, leading to the capsule contracting
Implants placed on top of the musculature generally have more of a chance than implants inserted below the muscles of capsular contracture
Pathogens present on unclean implants can lead to rapid contracture

A grading system is used to mark the degree of capsular contraction:

Baker Grade 1: The breast looks natural and feels soft
Baker Grade 2: The breast looks natural but is a little bit firm
Baker Grade 3: The breast looks slightly distorted and is firm
Baker Grade 4: The breast looks distorted and feels hard. A certain level of pain may be present.

When thinking about having surgical breast enhancement do really think about whether you need the operation. Consult your local qualified surgery and know the potential risks!
