  • Breast Implant Profile: This refers to the degree of projection from the chest wall. Options typically range from low to high profiles, influencing the perceived fullness and contour of the breast when viewed from the side.
  • Breast Implant Placement: This specifies the location of the implant in relation to your pectoral muscle. Common options include subglandular (above the muscle), submuscular (below the muscle), or subfascial (beneath the fascia), each impacting the aesthetic outcome and feel of the augmentation.
  • Breast Implant Type: This broadly categorizes the material used to fill the implant. The two primary choices are:
    • Silicone Gel Implants: These are filled with a cohesive, "gummy bear"-like silicone gel, renowned for offering a remarkably natural look and feel.
    • Saline Implants: These are filled with sterile salt water, inserted in an empty state, and then meticulously filled during the surgical procedure.

What do breast augmentation scars look like?

breast augmentation Armpit Scar - Transaxillary breast augmentation scar

Armpit (Transaxillary) Scar

The armpit (transaxillary) scar is discreetly placed within the natural folds of the underarm, allowing for breast implant insertion without incisions on the breast itself.

breast augmentation Crease scar - Inframammary breast augmentation Scar

Crease (Inframammary) Scar

The crease (inframammary) scar is the most common scar. It's positioned in the natural fold beneath the breast, providing direct access for implant placement and often resulting in a well-concealed incision.

breast augmentation periareolar scar

Periareolar Scar

The periareolar scar is carefully placed along the edge of the areola, utilizing the change in skin tone to camouflage the incision for implant insertion.

breast implant profile

Breast Implant Profile

Profile refers to the “projection” of the implant in relation to the base width of the implant. For the same volume (e.g. 300cc), a low profile implant will typically be wider with less projection than a high profile implant. Many factors like your anatomy and personal goals, go into choosing the right implant profile. Your surgeon will help you determine what profile is right for you at your consultation.

breast implant placement - under the muscle placement - dual plane - subfascial - over the muscle placement

Implant placement is where your surgeon will put the implant.

  1. Subglandular Placement
    Also known as over the muscle placement, the implant is placed over the pectoral muscle.
  2. Subfascial Placement
    The implant is placed under the fascia that covers the pectoral muscle.
  3. Submuscular Placement
    Also known as under the muscle placement, the implant is placed under the pectoral muscle.
