Your Breast Implant Options

Posted on April 3, 2008 in Health and Fitness by admin

When you choose to have breast implants, that is not the last important decision regarding the procedure that you will make. Once you decide to go for it, you still have to decide what type of implant to use, where to position it, and where your incision will be. With all of that to think about, I will show you some options, so that you can consider which implants fit you best.

What type of breast implant can I get?

Hmm… silicone or saline? Neither is a better or worse choice. Each option has it’s own benefits:

Silicone is considered to look and feel more natural. One drawback to silicone implants is sometimes the implant can “ripple” underneath the skin.

Saline can be put into place easier and with less scarring. The saline can be absorbed by the body if it should leak. Where will my implant be placed?

You have the option of having your implant placed in 1 of 3 areas:

1. Behind the breast but in front of the muscles and tissues in your chest wall.
2. Behind the tissues in the breast and partially behind the muscles in your chest wall.
3. Placed completely behind the tissues and muscles in your chest wall.

Where will my incision be?

You also have the option of choosing 1 of 4 spots on your body for the surgeon to make your incision. Each of these spots has their own benefits.

Under your breast - the first choice for your incision involves the area directly underneath your breasts, where they and your chest meet. This natural crease serves as the perfect place to hide an undesired scar that may result from your breast implant procedure. When the incision is made here, the resulting scar will be easily hidden by a bra, swimsuit top, or even the breast itself. In many cases the only time someone will be able to see your scar is if they actually lift the breast and look underneath. This type of breast implant procedure is performed by making an incision at the crease and simply sliding the implant up into the breast area.

Around your nipple - The second choice for your incision involves your nipple and the surrounding areola. This is one incision choice that can leave you with absolutely zero detectable scarring. This incision is also the best choice when it comes to allowing the surgeon to control your bleeding during your breast implant procedure. This type of breast implant procedure is performed by making an incision around your areola and then placing the breast implant into the breast through this incision.

Under your arm pit - the third choice for your incision involves your arm pit area. Choosing to have your incision here means that you will have absolutely no scarring on your breast, but you may have some in the arm pit area where the incision was made. Women who choose this incision usually do so because they want to ensure that there will be no scarring on their breast. This type of breast implant procedure is performed by making an incision in the arm pit and routing the implant to the breast area from there.

Around your navel area - this last option for your incision involves your navel area. This is another place that ensures that you will have absolutely no scarring on your breast, and many women that choose this incision do so because of this reason. This type of breast implant procedure is performed by making an incision around the edge of your belly button and routing the implant to the breast area from there.

Make sure to talk to your physician about each of these options and voice your concerns and needs. He or she will be able to tell you which choice may be right for you based on your preferences.
