Breast Augmentation Technique: Areola Incision
Breast augmentation is a plastic surgery procedure which can increase the bust size through the use of saline or silicone implants which are bio-compatible materials to the human tissue.
This cosmetic plastic surgery involves incisions where the implants are inserted inside the breast pocket. It may be located underarm, below the breast crease, within the navel's rim, and around the areola, which is one of the most popular site for incision.
According to plastic surgery doctors, the areola incision technique is done by cutting the edge of the pigmented area of skin that surrounds the nipple. To better hide the scars, the incision is made at the areola's edge where the lighter breast tissue meets the pigmented area.
The Advantages of Breast Implants Through Areola Incision
If properly performed, the incision leaves unnoticeable scars on the edge of the areola which is why the procedure is very popular among breast augmentation patients.
Another advantage is that the incision site allows doctors to work closely to the breasts, giving them more control and accuracy. According to plastic surgery experts, the areola and breast crease incision sites are the only techniques that allow them to place the implants in different positions and levels of the chest muscles.
Women who want to have a breast lift procedure (or mastopexy) and breast augmentation can also benefit from the areola incision site. Because the breast lift surgery always involved incisions around the areola, there is no need to make additional cut that would result to more scarring.
The Disadvantages of Areola Incision
While most women who have this procedure reported that their scars have healed well, there is still a possibility of severe scarring particularly if the wound does not heal properly due to delayed recovery and infection after the surgery.
This incision site also results to more pain and post-operative discomfort since it requires doctors to separate a large segment of muscles and connective tissues in the breasts.
Another disadvantage is the risk of loss of sensation in the breasts. However, this complication is also a concern in all incision sites but the areola site has a slightly higher rate of such risk.
But still, one of the greatest concerns in the areola incision site is that patients have a higher risk of infection which usually happens if the implants come into contact with the breast duct. To reduce the risk of such complication, most doctors today use a "protective sleeve" during a breast augmentation surgery to make sure that the implants will not be contaminated with the bacteria present in the breast ducts.
