It is essential for individuals considering this procedure to consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss their expectations and the surgical process.

Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty Techniques

Several surgical techniques are available for breast augmentation mammoplasty, each with specific considerations. During a detailed consultation, these methods will be discussed to determine the most appropriate approach. Techniques available in Brisbane include:

Inframammary Incision: An incision is made in the inframammary fold, the natural junction of the chest and breast. This approach aims to minimize visible scarring, with the potential for the scar to be concealed by clothing. Implants may be positioned in various placements relative to the muscle.

Transaxillary Incision: This technique involves an incision in the underarm area, avoiding scars on the breast itself. Scarring is typically less visible due to its location. However, this method may not be suitable for all implant types and may present challenges for revision procedures.

Periareolar Incision: The incision is made near the areolar region, often resulting in well-healed scars. This method provides the option to use either saline or silicone implants and allows for placement above or below the muscle, though it may have a slightly higher risk of infection compared to other techniques.
