The breast consists of milk ducts and glands, surrounded by fatty tissue that provides its shape and soft feel. Skin elasticity also contributes to breast shape. Factors such as pregnancy (when milk glands are temporarily enlarged) and the inevitable effects of gravity as you age combine to stretch the skin, causing the breast to droop or sag.

The breast implant can be placed either partially under the pectoralis major muscle (submuscular) or on top of the muscle and under the breast glands (subglandular) depending on the thickness of your breast tissue and its ability to adequately cover the breast implant. You should discuss with your surgeon the pros and cons of the breast implant placement selected for you.

The submuscular placement may make surgery last longer, may make recovery longer, may be more painful, and may make it more difficult to have some reoperation procedures than the subglandular placement. The possible benefits of this placement are that it may result in less palpable implants, less capsular contracture, and easier imaging of the breast with mammography. The subglandular placement may make surgery and recovery shorter, may be less painful, and may be easier to access for reoperation than the submuscular placement. However, this placement may result in more palpable implants, more capsular contracture, and more difficult imaging of the breast with mammography.

Incision Sites

To permit the smallest possible incision, the breast implant is typically inserted empty, and then filled with saline. You should discuss with your plastic surgeon, the pros and cons for the incision site specifically recommended for you. There are three common incision sites: under the arm (axillary), around the nipple (periareolar), or within the breast fold (inframammary)

If the incision is made under the arm, the surgeon may use a probe fitted with a miniature camera, along with minimally invasive (very small) instruments, to create a pocket for the breast implant.

Periareolar – Areola – Nipple Incision

This incision is most concealed, but is associated with a higher likelihood of inability to successfully breast feed, as compared to the other incision sites. This incision is a half-circle at the outer edge of the areola, the colored area around the nipple. The scar is extremely favorable and blends well with the areola. It grants the plastic surgeon with the best access for precise placement of the implant, resulting in a strong cleavage and better symmetry. There is also better control of any bleeding during surgery, which ultimately affects the chance of scar formation or capsular contraction.

Inframammary – Breast Fold Incision

This incision is less concealed than periareolar and associated with less difficulty than the periareolar incision site when breast feeding. This is a one to two incision made by your cosmetic surgeon near the under-breast fold. Like the peri-areolar incision, this approach affords the plastic surgeon the greatest control over the position of the implant, giving the patient more attractive cleavage. The final scar is very favorable.

TransAxillary – Under Arm Incision

This incision is less concealed than periareolar and associated with less difficulty than the periareolar incision site when breast feeding. An incision placed in the arm pit is also known as a Trans-Axillary incision. Despite the myth that this scar is usually unnoticeable, it can be more prominent than other scars, especially when a woman is wearing sleeveless cloths. This access point is very far from the central location of the implant making it very difficult to precisely position the implants, thus causing the implants to sit away from each other, creating a wide cleavage. It is associated with a higher risk of bleeding and less control, often forcing the surgeons to use drains which can increase the risk of infection.

Trans-Umbilical (TUBA) Endoscopic – Belly Button Incision

The Trans-Umbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA) involves making a one to two inch incision at the edge of the “belly button,” through which a long metallic tube is forced towards the breasts. Then the breast implant is folded and pushed through this tube to its final position under the breasts. There have been some reports of complication with the insertion of this tube, when the tube accidentally speared the liver or lung.

This approach has specific disadvantages as compared to the peri-areolar approach. First, because the implants cannot be placed precisely, there is a higher chance of breast asymmetry and of overly-wide cleavage. Second, if a patient also needs a Breast Lift, another incision has to be made around the areola.

This procedure is often marketed as a “Scarless Breast Augmentation,” but, to the contrary, the scar around the umbilicus could be very noticeable, and at times unsightly, especially if a woman is wearing a shirt that exposes the midriff.

Because this approach can be challenging, and due to its potential complication rate, it should be performed only by a board certified plastic surgeon who has extensive experience with it.

My name is Angela Watson and I would like to share some personal infomation that I do beleive to be true because I have tested this product. This was my first attempt at natural breast enhancement. Using GlandMax ES for 2 months has given outstanding results. This is my honest review and warning to those seeking breast augmentaion surgery.

For many women and transgender men having large breasts is an advantage. The breast size gives more confidence and these endowed women are less shy in their social lives. But what about women who have breasts that never reached their fullest potential? There are various methods that a woman can take to have larger breasts. Some of these breast augmentation methods are breast implants, breast enlargement creams, breast enlargement pumps, and breast enlargement pills.

The breast enlargement creams only provide a temporary effect and a woman has to continuously apply the cream in order to achieve a small effect. The breast enlargement pumps are also similar to creams. The enlargement of the breasts is temporary. The use of breast implants, on the other hand, may produce a relatively permanent effect. But there are many dangers to this breast augmentation procedure. It involves surgery and the medical name for it is augmentation mammaplasty. Many women do not care about putting themselves under the knife in order to have bigger breasts. Many women would prefer wearing padded bras than risking the side effects of breast implants.

The least side effects are the loss of sensation of the breasts nipples or the unexpected production of milk. Other side effects are more dangerous. Some of the known side effects of breast implants are deflation, infection, necrosis, and hematoma. Deflation happens when there has been a rupture within the breast. A woman could end up having smaller breasts than she had before. Infection may occur when the surgeon is less careful with the procedure but many infections stem from the fact that the womans body is rejecting the implant. Necrosis happens when there is dead tissue that is forming around the implant. It is also an indication that the implant is being rejected. Hematoma is the result of an internal bleeding. The blood inside will pool together and these pools of blood appear as bruises. When any of these side effects occur, the patient has no other choice but to undergo additional surgery. Breast implantation surgeons describe it as corrective surgery but the risks are never truly removed.

Therefore, the only viable option for women who wanted larger breasts is to take breast enhancement pills. Of all the various breast pills that are available on the market, the one that has been found to be safest and most effective is GlandMax ES. This particular brand is safe because its formulation was developed and is endorsed by actual plastic surgeons. It is composed of natural ingredients that have been scientifically proven to enhance the size of breasts. The ingredients of GlandMax ES work with the body and the tissues around the breasts in order to optimize the bust size. There are no known side effects that will put the users health at risk.

If a woman or transgender man really wanted to boost her feminine confidence but does not like to take on the risks of undergoing surgery, then she should consider taking breast enlargement pills, particularly, the GlandMax ES breast growth pills. The GlandMax ES breast pill is the natural alternative to implants or breast augmentation procedures.

I often get asked by new patients if I think they are ready to have plastic surgery. The premise of that question is what they eprceive physically and that is one important issue, But there are important psychological and financial considerations as well.

However, a simple yes to that question is based more than just on the physical issues at hand and patient also need to think about other considerations as well before having any plastic surgery procedure. While many have written about surgery preparedness, I would consider the following the ‘big’ three’ which, in my mind and experience, are the most significant.

First, do some background research on the desired procedures as well as on your doctor(s). The internet may be full of inaccurate and misleading information, but it is also chocked full of a lot of good information about everything in plastic surgery. Become a good student again, do your homework, and be prepared to ask your plastic surgeon good questions. You can’t expect the plastic surgeon to tell you everything in the limited face-to-face time you have.Your plastic surgeon has these conversations all day long, you will have far fewer of them. Take charge of your knowledge and education.

Secondly, can you really afford to have the plastic surgery procedures? I fully realize that in life people afford what they want, not what they need. It is not my job, nor am I capable, of assessing whether this is the best way for you to spend your money. My financial responsibility lies in educating you about which procedures have the best value based on what you are trying to achieve. One of the factors to consider in determining financial feasibility is…how much buffer do you have should complications occur? Yu may have extra expenses or need more time off from work should a complication develop. Leave some financial wiggle room if you are considering elective plastic surgery. This area is one of the most common reasons for ‘dissatisfaction’ from plastic surgery procedures.

Lastly, be prepared to accept the reality that complications from plastic surgery can and do occur. And I don’t mean rarely. While most plastic surgery complications are relatively minor and easily solved in most cases, a few are not. Just like a car accident, for example, you are not exempt from the risks of adverse outcomes. It does not always happen to the ‘other guy’. Most importantly, factor this in psychologically. Recovery from plastic surgery will always take longer than you think in many cases. Getting over the inconvenience of a surgical complication will likewise be more prolonged that all will like.

These three areas of mental and psychological preparedness will serve you well to undergo any plastic surgery procedure…and will go far in making you ready for it.

In the early to mid 80s, it was estimated that less than five percent of plastic surgery patients belonged to ethnic groups. By 1990, that number had swelled to 20 percent according to the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. Today, more and more members of ethnic groups are turning to cosmetic surgery to enhance their natural beauty and restore a youthful glow.

Why has plastic surgery grown so much among ethnic patients? Part of the trend lies in improved surgical techniques and increased media exposure. While plastic surgery was once consider a taboo by both Caucasians and ethnic minorities, cosmetic work is now widely accepted by all groups and all ages.

More people today are aware of the potential benefits of plastic surgery as well as the many different procedures currently available. Some of the most popular procedures include breast augmentation, body lifts and nose surgeries. However, doctors also note that different ethnic groups have differing ideas about what is considered beautiful. While European patients prefer a more sculpted appearance, Asian patients typically strive for a much softer look.

Enhancing Beauty While Retaining Ethnic Identity

As more people from minority groups begin to seek plastic surgery, the need to enhance beauty while maintaining ethnic identity becomes increasingly important. In a recent article in the New York Times, doctors discussed the fact that different ethnic groups hold different standards of beauty. While traditional plastic surgery techniques are based on Caucasian ideals, doctors must modify their traditional operations to work with the beauty standards of Hispanic, Asian and African-American clients.

Tips When Seeking Plastic Surgery

If you belong to an ethnic group, it is important to find a plastic surgeon attuned to your individual needs and goals. As you are looking for a doctor, go prepared with a list of questions in order to help determine who the best choice for your surgery is. Discuss your concerns and talk specifically about what you hope to achieve with cosmetic surgery.

Another great idea is to ask your doctor about their prior experience working with patients from ethnic groups. If possible, ask your doctor to show you ‘before-and-after’ pictures of past patients. This is a great way to see what the doctor is capable of. You may also want to bring pictures that demonstrate the look you hope to achieve, as well as pictures of things you would like to avoid.

You may want to consider seeing a plastic surgeon that has specific experience working with people of different ethnic groups. These surgeons typically have a better understanding of your unique needs, as well as experience creating the looking you are striving for. Most importantly, avoid surgeons who try to convince you to “Westernize” your look. The goal of plastic surgery should be to enhance your natural beauty, while still preserving your ethnic identity.

Abdominoplasty, commonly known as Tummytuck, is a cosmetic and aesthetic procedure to remove excess lower abdominal skin and its attached layer of fat, with simultaneous tightening of the abdominal wall. This creates a flatter abdomen with elimination of loose skin, stretch marks and post surgical scars below the umbilicus (commonly vertical caesarian section scars). The protruberant appearance is likewise addressed by way of tightening of the muscle and fascial layers. Most patients who undergo this procedure are those who have had multiple pregnancies or those coming off major weight loss.

The first step a potential patient would have to do is a an informative and meaningful consultation and visit with a certified cosmetic plastic surgeon. The patient is expected to discuss all expectations with regards to looking and feeling better after the abdominoplasty or tummytuck. She should keep in mind however though that the aceeptable outcome is basically reasonable improvement and enhancement and never impossible and unachievable “perfection”. Emotional stability in a potential patient is a minimum requirement while reasonable expectation is a must. Having a “new” look from an abdominoplasty will never guarantee a financially rewarding and successful career or even a happy and problem free marriage. It solely improves appearance and possibly helps boosts self confidence. This is realistically what a tummytuck may just accomplish for you. How you handle the positive physical effects and gains of an abdominoplasty is actually up to you. It should be kept in mind that the objective of a tummytuck is a flatter abdomen devoid of most of the unsightly stretch marks and previous operative scar.

A straightforward abdominoplasty takes approximately 3-4 hours to complete however it may take longer if combined with other cosmetic plastic surgery procedures as liposuction or some other facial or body surgeries. The procedure may be safely done in an outpatient setting or on a hospital basis under general anesthesia. Once under general anesthesia one will be sleeping soundly all throughout surgery. At times it may be done under spinal or epidural anesthesia especially in hospital settings.

The incision is done from hip to hip just above the pubic area. Another incision is made around the belly button to free it from the abdominal skin. The abdominal skin and underlying fat is then elevated from the abdominal wall revealing the muscle and fascial layer to be tightened. After tightening, the excess skin is removed and the wounds are closed. The preserved belly button stalk is then brought out through a new hole in the abdominal skin. Liposuction is commonly performed in safe areas to give a better definition and form.

Closure of the incisions are always carefully and meticulously done by your cosmetic plastic surgeon. All patients should keep in mind though that scars are realistically inevitable and are natural consequences of any incision or surgery, your cosmetic plastic surgeon will try his best to keep them inconspicuous and well concealed as possible. Following surgery, dressings and bandage will be applied over the wounds and abdomen while closed suction drains will have to be maintained for a few days to facilitate drainage of any expected fluid.

Operative risks and side effects in cosmetic plastic surgeries are always possible. Bleeding, infection, fluid accumulations, vascular compromise, paresthesias, and healing problems may occur though not that common. Patients are therefore properly cleared and screened by the surgical team while the patient wholeheartedly understands all the possibilities. Any pain or discomfort may be effectively controlled more often than not by the right oral medications. It is prudent however to inform your plastic surgeon or any staff member of any unusual and persistent problems. Swelling and bruising are common and expected and usually resolve in a few weeks. A sense of numbness and tightness may be present which eventually improves and subsides. Post abdominoplasty patients are instructed rest for at least a day and ordered to avoid any exertions. Sutures and drains will usually be out after a week while an abdominal binder shall have to maintained for weeks. Most patients do return to work after approximately 2-3 weeks. Optimal results are seen after about 3 months.

For the potential plastic surgery patient in general, it is strongly advised to consult with a certified plastic surgeon . Patients are strongly encouraged to ask around and be properly and thoroughly informed regarding the procedures they seek. Your certified cosmetic plastic surgeon will display adequate knowledge, skill and care prior, during and after surgery.
