The next popular approach for placement of breast implants is through the axilla (arm pit). The scar from this approach is nicely hidden so that there are no scars on the breast. Creation of a proper pocket for the implant is difficult because direct vision of the tissues is difficult. Although some surgeons have been successful with this approach, I find that it often leads to a pocket that is too lateral resulting in separated breasts and poor cleavage. To improve the chances for success, I recommend the assistance of video endoscopy to create the best pocket and to control possible bleeding.

A novelty that I believe is losing popularity is the umbilical approach. Few surgeons have found this to be successful because it is a completely blind procedure. Pocket placement and control of possible bleeding are extremely difficult. I believe that placement of silicone breast implants is impossible through this approach.

Ultimately, choose the approach that you believe will give the best result, but make sure your surgeon is experienced with this technique.

They are in every shopping mall and on every corner.  All at once, you can get a massage, pedicure, and Botox.  Non-specialized physicians have offered various services which were mostly less invasive until now!  The advertisements are endless for LASER LIPOSUCTION.  “Liposuction can be done without major anesthesia and without any down time.  Why waste time going to a plastic surgeon when it can be done easily in the office.”

Unfortunately, when it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.  I have recently seen unhappy patients that had presented to Medi-spas for Laser Liposuction.  One of the patients had spent over ten thousand dollars and had no noticeable results.  Clearly, these patients were not candidates for liposuction to begin with.  What they needed first was assisted weight loss followed by discussions and a plan on body contouring surgery.

Before seeking information any invasive cosmetic procedure, I advise that you get a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.  Ask if he was trained specifically in Plastic Surgery because some physicians may advertise “ Board Certified “,  but it may be in something other than Plastic Surgery.  Other credentials to look for are whether they are members of professional societies such as American Society of Plastic Surgeons, American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, and American College of Surgeons.
