How is breast augmentation surgery performed?
Incisions !!
Incision can be made underneath the breast at the infra mammary crease (inframammary) OR around the lower edge of the areola (peri areolar) OR within the axilla (axillary)
Implant pocket !!
Traditionally, the implant can be placed either behind the breast tissue (sub mammary) or under the pectoral muscle (sub muscular) . Both techniques have their pros and cons. We now place the implant under the pectoral muscle fascia i.e. sub fascial pocket, which is the recent & most popular technique in the west. Sub fascial pocket has advantages of both sub mammary & sub pectoral pocket.
Scar!!
The scar will be hidden discretely underneath the breast fold.
