The most popular breast implants size requested is a C cup. Keep in mind that the same size saline breast implant in one patient will look different in another patient depending on how much breast tissue each patient has to start with. The NYC Breast Implants Plastic Surgeon's goal is to create a natural looking breast that is in proportion to the patients frame.

Factors that must be considered prior to choosing a breast implant include the amount of of existing breast tissue, any asymmetry, and patient lifestyle including occupation, exercise habits and clothing choices.

There are three incision sites that are commonly used depending on the needs of the patient. The inframammary approach involves placing the incision in the breast fold at the bottom of the breast. This site is used very commonly in women with a well defined breast fold and is the simplest and easiest method to insert the breast implant. The periareolar approach involves an incision on the inferior or bottom part of the areola. This approach can result in an inconspicuous scar but can distort the areola if healing is not perfect. In addition with the periareolar approach, the breast tissue is disturbed by dissecting through the middle of the breast. The transaxillary approach involves placing the implant through an incision in the armpit or axilla. With this approach there is no scarring of the skin of the breast.

The NYC Breast Augmentation / Breast Implants Plastic Surgeon uses an endoscope which is a tiny camera attached to a monitor the breast augmentation surgery so he can create a precise pocket to fit the breast implant. This approach is appropriate for patients with fairly symmetrical breasts who do not desire an incision on the breast itself.

The breast implants are usually positioned behind the chest wall by the Manhattan Plastic Surgeon - this muscle known as the Pectoralis Major muscle. Breast implants are placed behind the Pectoralis muscle have been found to develop less capsular contracture. In addition, these submusular implants are less palpable and exhibit less rippling than implants placed above the muscle known as the subglandular position. Sometimes breast implants that were originally placed in the subglandular position are converted to the submuscular position to alleviate rippling and palpability. While the submuscular position does produce more discomfort immediately after surgery the results are well worth it. Studies have shown a complete return in chest muscle strength with no loss of function in patients with submuscular implants. In addition, mammography is more effective in imaging the breast if the implant is positioned below the muscle as compared to a breast with an implant placed in the subglandular position.
