Planning of the silicone implant breast enlargement surgery

The chest diameter and the breast dimensions are marked. This gives us an idea of the cup size, and the base diameter. The base diameter decides the maximum volume and projection of the implant that can be used. For a patient who required a larger projection for a given base diameter we select high profile implants. All this planning takes place in the preoperative period and depends on the aspirations of the patient. We get the patient to try on a few sample sizes of the implant to give her a feel of the procedure, allowing her to estimate the best volume for her.

Surgical Incisions and Procedure Incisions like inframammary, periareolar, axillary, and transumbilical have been used. We prefer to use the inframammary and the transaxillary approaches.Positioning of the implant is either in the subglandular, subpectoral or subfascial (described by Dr Ruth Graf, and preferred by the author).Transaxillary approach allows a virtual scarless breast enlargement with endoscopic control. Dr Amit Gupta is among the very few Plastic Surgeons in the country performing endoscopic breast enlargement

Transaxillary technique of subpectoral augmentation has been available for many years, critics have observed difficulty in attaining precise positioning of the implant in the lower pole of the breast. Major advantages have been the absence of any scar on the breast surface, an avoidance of breast ductal transection, and a low probability of sensory nerve injury

Scarless Breast Augmentation/ Endoscopic Trans-axillary breast augmentation

Endoscopic assistance has enhanced the transaxillary approach by allowing a more accurate placement of the breast implant.Described as scarless breast augmentation, here a pocket within the breast is made through an incision in the axilla. The implant is then placed through this incision itself,leaving the breast free of scars.

Silicone Gel Implants

Silicone, a polymer of dimethylsiloxane, is present throughout nature. Currently fourth-generation silicone implants (texturised implants)are used by the author. These implants do not rupture, have very low capsular contracture and do not leak. In some parts of Europe and Latin America, Polyurethane coated implants are being used. These implants are extremely soft, feel very natural, and have a long life. We are sure, that once these implants are available in India, they will become the most widely used

Breast Augmentation - What Does Bustline, Size, Volume, Profile, Cup Size Mean?

A lot of women have a confusion as to what will be their bust size after augmentation, what is the difference between cup size and bust line, what is A,B,C,D,DD etc.

When we talk of sizing, the most important point is the chest diameter. This is the most important line of reference. Thus if the chest diameter is 32 inches at this point the bust line would be defined as 32 something depending on the projection of the breast at the most prominent point. Now we add 5 to the chest line to reach the cup size. Thus if the chest is 32, then 32 +5 is the supposed bust line. Now if the diameter of the breast at the point of the maximum projection is 37 inches. It is referred to as 32 A, if it is 38, it is 32 B and so on with every 1 inch difference. Beyond 4 inch inches, it becomes DD.
