How does breast augmentation mammoplasty work?
Breast augmentation mammoplasty is generally a day procedure and involves the insertion of a breast implant through an incision made along the inframammary fold. While some surgeons may choose alternative insertion sites such as breast implants through the armpit (axillary) or breast implants through the belly button, you should generally avoid such techniques. This is because the risk of infection is higher with these approaches and as a result, not recommended by Dr. Richardson.
Breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery places the implant in any of the following positions:
1. Under the muscle breast implant positioning (submuscular)
2. Over the muscle breast implant positioning (subglandular)
3. Dual plane breast implant positioning
There are various pros and cons to each implant position because the best choice for each patient is dependent on anatomical and lifestyle considerations. Dr. Richardson will assess your anatomy, your surgical goals and your lifestyle at your initial consultation. After that assessment, he will be able to determine what breast implant placement is most suitable to achieve your ideal results.
During breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery the patient is under general anaesthetic and constantly monitored by the anaesthetist throughout their procedure. Consequently, it is essential that the operation take place in a fully-accredited hospital. This is to ensure access to appropriate facilities in the case of any complications or emergency events. Dr. Richardson is a fully licensed plastic surgeon. As a result, he has the necessary privileges to operate at these fully-accredited hospitals.
How long does breast implant surgery take?
The breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery takes approximately 1–1.5 hours on the operating table, with a total of around 4-5 hours between admission and recovery for the patient.
What is an internal bra?

The technique is called the internal bra because it provides additional lift and support.
