INCISION

Any incision used will leave a permanent scar regardless of who performs your procedure. Incisions are ideally made in inconspicuous areas and made as short as possible to help minimize visible scarring. All scars, however, are permanent. You and Dr. Hayduke will discuss which incision options are appropriate for your desired outcome and for your unique anatomy. Incision options include:

PERIAREOLAR – around a portion of your areola

INFRAMAMMARY – in the natural skin fold (crease) under your breasts

TRANSAXILLARY – in the hair bearing underarm area totally away from your breasts

PERI-UMBILICAL – via an incision around your belly button (umbilicus)

Incision recommendations will vary based upon the type of implant (silicone vs saline), degree of enlargement desired (size of implant), your particular anatomy, and patient-surgeon preference. For example, patients with very small diameter areolas are generally not good candidates for medium/large silicone implants inserted via a periareolar incision. Simply put, their areolas are not wide enough to safely allow this approach to medium/large silicone breast augmentation. These patients, however, might be better candidates for the inframammary incision or transaxillary incision. Patients with a well formed natural crease under their breasts (known as an inframammary crease) are generally excellent candidates for the inframammary incison – since the incision can be well hidden in this natural crease in most cases. Many factors, including patient preference, are taken into consideration. Dr. Hayduke will help you with your decision making process regarding incision location. Most patients are extremely concerned with incision location placement before cosmetic breast surgery and it certainly deserves careful consideration.

IMPLANT CHOICE

Breast size and shape are important, so be honest and open about your expectations when speaking with Dr. Hayduke. Implant type and size will be determined not just on your desired increase in size, but also on your breast anatomy, skin elasticity, breast width and body type. Many factors including anatomical measurements (measured by Dr. Hayduke himself during your consultation) should be involved in a carefully and properly planned cosmetic breast augmentation. Dr. Hayduke personally takes and analyzes your measurements, including your: inter-mammary distance (separation distance between your breasts), breast width, areolar diameter, sternal notch to nipple distance, etc. Using Dr. Hayduke’s vast experience with breast implants and all this data together with your personal desired size/shape goal, a proper strategic plan can be created for your breast augmentation.
