Breast augmentation is performed to enhance the size, shape, and position of the breast. The operation is more popular now than at any time in its history. Silicone gel breast implants are not used except in clinical trial settings. Saline (saltwater filled) implants are currently utilized.

The procedure can be performed through a variety of approaches including the underarm, peri-areolar (around the nipple) and inframammary (where the lower part of the breast meets the chest wall) incisions. The implants may be placed behind the breast tissue or behind the breast and pectoralis major muscle.

Endoscopic techniques may be utilized to gain precision where necessary. The incision, and size, shape, and position of the implant are selected on an individual basis to match the desires and needs of the patient.

No one technique is ideal for everybody. Please visit our breast augmentation page to learn more about the procedure and what Phoenix breast augmentation patients can expect.
