Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: I went to another plastic surgeon for a breast augmentation consultation. He recommends putting the implants in through a scar made in the breast crease. I know 2 patients of Dr. Corbin's and they both look great. One had her scars put on the nipples and the other has hers in her armpit. Why didn't Dr. Corbin put their scars under their breasts?
Answer: Today women have better choices as to where their incisions are placed. The inframammary breast augmentation is the oldest technique. Since the development of breast augmentation surgery, there have been many advances in the techniques to include, Peri areolar breast augmentation, axillary breast augmentation and the tuba breast augmentation. The best place to put the implants through varies from patient to patient. I don't believe that one approach to breast surgery is the,' Best' for every patient. Because I perform breast augmentations using all 4 options, Nipple areolar, Tuba, Axillary, or Inframammary, I carefully evaluate each patients individual needs to educate them on the best surgery approach for them. If my patient has good measurements and is selecting an average size breast implant, I prefer to let my patients have the option of deciding where they would like their small incisions placed. I tailor the surgery to suit each individual patient.
