In selecting a good breast surgery technique, you should also make consideration for where you would want your incision to be. You could go to your doctor for advice on these matters on where they should be placed. You should know why this is importance. This is important because the way you make your incisions will determine the way the scars will appear and how visible they will be. Here is a little rundown of the possible incisions that can be made and what the entail for you;
* the inflammatory incision
Of all forms of surgical incisions, this is the most commonly used for breast surgery. This cut is made at the junction between the breasts and the chest. This is usually done under the crease, around the point where the breast creases. The scars from this procedure are indistinct but can be seen by people if they look closely enough. However, the doctor can alter their position so that their occurrence isles noticeable to the eyes.
* The nipple incision
This incision involves the areola of the nipple. This incision is made at the point of the skin just where there is the color change. Due to the fact that it is made in this darkened area of the skin, the scars are usually barely visible. Someone has to be looking at you really close to notice those scars. This surgery is quite good for ladies who do not people to know that they have had surgery done on their breasts. However, there is a hidden danger in this method. For one thing, since the nipple is a very small and sensitive part of the body, a little cut could result in severing of nerves surrounding the nipple. This means that the nipple will become numb. I know that the probability of such a situation happening is really low; however, you ought to pause and consider the dangers for a minute. If you are thinking of having kids in the future, you should know that your breastfeeding is also critically rocked by going for the nipple incision. I advise that you see your surgeon before going ahead with this.
* The armpit incision
This incision is done under the armpits of the underarms. This has the advantage of concealing your scars. After it is under the arms, and nobody looks at that area, do they? However, there is still a problem with this technique because it is not usually a suitable area for incision in surgery.
* The navel incision:
This is simply placing the incision in the navel area of the body. This is good for the covering of scar, but the real problem lies in the fact that not every patient is good for a navel incision. Ordinarily, the navel option is usually only considered for saline implants.
You should have a meaningful discussion with your surgeon before making a decision on what is good and what’s not so you make the right choice in the end.
