Plastic Surgery Q and A

Question: I went for an appointment with a plastic surgeon and he only puts breast implants in through the nipple on all of his patients. I have small light pink nipples and I am nervous about having a noticeable scar on them. Are the nipples the best place to put the implants in through?
Answer: 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 patient's individual needs and 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.
