Incisions & Procedures

The implant placement refers to where the implant is positioned..under the Pectoralis Major (chest) muscle or over it, which places the implant only underneath the breast tissue.  In almost all cases Dr. Kadz places the implants under the muscle.  The breasts feels much softer and look more natural due to a layer of “buffer” (the muscle) covering the implant.  Other significant benefits include:  the long run opposing force of the muscle against the implant keeps the implant from stretching out the breast skin and a significantly less chance of capsular contracture (less chance implants get hard).  Sub-muscular placement creates more tenderness for a short period of time post-surgery, but is worth it.

Incisions and Scarring
Dr. Kadz utilizes the latest techniques resulting in minimal or little scarring.  The most common incisions include an inframammary incision (near the crease under the breast), an axillary incision (in the underarm area), or a periareolar incision placed at the edge of the areola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple).  Incision patterns vary based on the type of implant, degree of enlargement desired, patient anatomy, and patient preference.
