Question: My mom had a breast augmentation done over 20 years ago. Now I want to have my boobs done and she is very supportive and has been helping me to choose my surgeon. My mom's scars are under her breast in the crease. Is this still the best place to put the breast implants in through?
Answer: If you had asked me this question 20 years ago I would have said, 'Yes', but 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 incisi
ons placed. I tailor the surgery to suit each individual patient.
