Breast Augmentation Explained By A NYC Plastic Surgeon

Published Tuesday February 23 2010

Breast augmentation can be performed through a wide variety of entry sites. Small incisions can be made in the armpit, under the breast, around the areola (the colored area surrounding the nipple) or through the bellybutton. The implants, which are all filled with salt-water (saline solution), can then be placed directly under the breast or under the chest muscles. Finally, the implants themselves can be smooth, 'textured', or 'anatomic'. Which combination of entry points, placement areas and implant types is right for you depends on your individual body type. By themselves, no one method is significantly better than another. However, one combination will probably be more applicable for you. During your plastic surgery consultation, the benefits of each will be presented so you can make an informed decision - Board Certified NYC Plastic Surgeon - Dr Kenneth Rose
