He physical exam will help determine the best option of implant location (on top of the muscle or below the muscle), incision (inframammary fold or periareolar) and implant type (silicone or saline). The implant can be placed on top of the muscle (subglandular) or below the muscle (submuscular). Subglandular implant placement is valid in women who have a moderate amount of breast tissue present before surgery and physically active women or bodybuilders. Incision placement is usually below the breast in the inframammary fold. In women with large areola (pigmented portion of breast) a periareolar incision can be used with and without areolar reduction. It is very common for women to have some asymmetry of the breasts. After breast augmentation some asymmetry may still exist. Correction of mild asymmetry in size can be improved by filling saline implants with different amount of fluid. To correct severe asymmetry a breast lift or reduction of the larger breast may be needed at the time of the breast augmentation

If so then the mommy makeover may be just what you need. The "mommy makeover" is a term used to describe procedures of the breast and abdomen for women who have children and are not planning future childbirth. Common concerns after childbirth are sagging breasts with loss of volume and excess skin and bulging of the abdomen. The breast surgery usually consists of breast augmentation with possible breast lift. A Tummy tuck and potentially liposuction addresses the abdominal concerns. For more information read the sections on breast augmentation, breast lift, and tummy tuck.

Breast augmentation procedure is performed under either general anesthesia or intravenous sedation. Your physician will discuss with you ahead of time where the incisions will be made—under the arm, under the breast or under the nipple.
