Breast Augmentation in Albuquerque, NM | Albuquerque Center for Plastic Surgery

Understanding Breast Augmentation Procedures

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breasts. Patients may seek this procedure for various reasons, including increasing breast volume, correcting asymmetry, restoring breast shape after pregnancy, or as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.

Surgical Technique Overview

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, ensuring patient comfort throughout the operation. Surgical approaches may vary depending on individual anatomy and surgical recommendations.

Incision and Implant Placement Options

• Incision locations: Under the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit
• Implant placement: Directly behind breast tissue or underneath chest wall muscle
• Goal: Minimizing visible scarring and achieving natural-looking results

Implant Placement Considerations

Surgeons may recommend placement behind the chest muscle to potentially reduce capsular contracture risks and improve mammogram examination capabilities. This placement might result in slightly more post-operative discomfort compared to direct breast tissue placement.
