Gawley Plastic Surgery Blog

If you want to have breast augmentation to improve the size or shape of your breasts, you have many options to ensure that you get the best breast augmentation for you. One of these options is to select a breast augmentation incision that is right for you.

Incisions Dr. Gawley uses for breast augmentation are:

• Inframammary (in the breast crease)
• Periareolar (around the areola)
• Transaxillary (in the armpit)

All three incisions allow for excellent results and are well-concealed. Saline breast implants can be placed using all three incisions. Silicone breast implants cannot be placed using the transaxillary incision.

Inframammary incisions may be best if you are looking to correct asymmetric breasts. Periareolar incisions often produce the least visible scars. Transaxillary incision scars are very small and have the advantage of not being on the breasts.

During your consultation, Dr. Gawley will discuss the incision options with you and which one might be best for getting the results you desire. Please call or email our Phoenix, Arizona office today.

You might think of breast augmentation as simply breast enlargement, but it's more than that. Breast augmentation can improve not only the size of your breasts, but their overall appearance as well. Breast augmentation can help if you feel your breasts are:

• Too small
• Uneven
• Lacking in fullness or projection
• Not well-proportioned

As well as many other appearance issues. If you dislike the appearance of your breasts, breast augmentation or another breast procedure may be able to help.

Many women also find that once the appearance of their breasts has been improved, they experience other benefits as well. Over nine out of ten women report improved self esteem after breast procedures like breast augmentation. You will also be able to comfortably wear clothes that you would never have considered before. Some women also experience improved job or social opportunities. What benefits you see will depend on where you are in life and where you want to go after your breast augmentation.
