Breast Augmentation:Determining the Type of Surgery
Once the surgeon and patient have conferred and agreed on the desired outcome of the breast augmentation surgery, they will set a date for the operation to take place. They will also decide on the type of breast augmentation surgery and implants to be used.
There are a number of ways to make incisions. Some breast surgery results in a scar around the crease of the breast and the areola. Recent breast augmentation surgery methods disguise scarring by inserting the implant through incisions in the armpit or navel. Breast augmentation surgery where the implant is placed below the muscle tissue usually require general anesthetic, while breast surgery that places the implant above the muscle tissue can use only sedation and local anesthetic.
