Breast Augmentation Surgery Phoenix

Those that desire to undergo breast augmentation in Phoenix are surprised to learn that there are several different types of implants and breast augmentation techniques that Phoenix AZ breast implant surgeons use for this for this form of enhancement. Breast augmentation surgery in Arizona is performed using four main techniques. Phoenix implant surgeons choose the techniques used for enhancement surgery based on their patient and on the implant being used for enlargement surgery.

Breast Augmentation - Inframammary

This breast augmentation technique places the implants through the fold of the breast (also known as the infra-mammary fold or IMF). It is used because it produces no easily discernable scar. Ladies who wish to nurse at a later date can choose this method as it causes less interference with mammary functions like milk creation, because the nerves and glands are left unaffected by the implantation.

Periareolar Breast Implant Technique

As one might suspect, periareolar breast augmentation surgery is achieved after an incision is made around the areola. The implants are then inserted via this entry point which is small enough to produce minimal scarring. People considering this technique need to be aware of the possibility of nerve or glandular damage that can interfere with future milk production. An expert Phoenix surgeon however, knows how to minimize the risk associated with the technique and provide the best results possible for their patients.

Phoenix Transaxillary Breast Augmentation

The technique used with breast augmentation surgery is extremely important. This is why the transaxillary technique is increasing in popularity. Out of all the techniques, the transaxillary approach requires only a small cut in the armpit and the dissection tunnels on the upper outer regions of the breasts. Nerve endings are not disrupted, so milk production is not compromised. The possibility of less scarring along with the ability to retain sensations in the breasts will inevitably make the surgery even more desired.

Breast Augmentation - Transumbillical

Also called TUBA, the Transumbilical Breast Augmentation procedure is done via the belly button/navel/umbilicus. With this particular type of breast augmentation surgery the implant is inserted into the incision with the aid of an endoscopic camera. While it might seem that this is a desirable technique because it lessens scarring, and has no affect on the areola and milk production, many if not a preponderance of surgeons do not offer this technique to their patients as it is considered by some to be a technique that can cause damage to other parts of the body as the implants are brought through the body.

All options for the breast augmentation surgery in Phoenix should be discussed in depth with the Phoenix surgeon you choose prior to your operation. Potential benefits and risks of each should be thoroughly examined as well, as most breast augmentation procedures have their advantages, so in the end, it comes down to the choice of implant and what you're chosen Phoenix surgeon feels is best for your enhancement.
