Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and if that beholder happens to look in the mirror and want a larger chest, then breast enlargement is an attractive option. Breast enlargement is a cosmetic procedure that makes an incision, generally through the nipple or in the fold beneath the breast, to insert an implant into the breast to increase the size of the bust. Implants come in a variety of options. It is important to consider factors that may affect the overall cleavage obtained by the individual, since some pre-surgery evaluations can answer many questions.
Depth and width of cleavage is not the same formula for each individual. Existing factors like chestwall shape, breastbone prominence, amount of body fat, location of nipples, beginning separation of breasts, and native fatty tissue over the sternum are important factors in determining the end result. A risk factor linked to breast enlargement is fear of capsular contracture. This is the most common problem associated with breast enlargement and is the creation of a capsule that encloses a layer of scar tissue around the implant. This scar tissue can tighten making the breast harden.
The procedure of breast enlargement involves an incision made and the insertion of implants. Incision sites vary, with the most common being the periarealor (through the nipples) and inframammary (fold beneath breast). The periarealor method is the most common of all since it gives the plastic surgeon the best view and access. Implants can be silicone or saline in nature and can be inserted underneath the muscle, over the muscle, or somewhere in between. Scarring associated with this approach is often less noticeable as it tends to blend in with the darkened color of the areola area. A disadvantage of this method may be the risk of infection since bacteria in the milk ducts of tissue can be exposed during surgery.
Another common method, the inframammary method, has a scar that is a little more noticeable. It is important to make sure the breast post-surgery will still fold over and hide the scar made from the incision.
