Today’s Best Options for Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure performed under general anesthesia, with a variety of different factors that your plastic surgeon will discuss during your consultation. A consultation is key before you undergo breast augmentation to discuss your medical history and desired results.
Incision Type
Incisions used for implant insertion can be made using one of several techniques. The most common incisions are made in the armpit (transaxillary), around the nipple (periareolar), or under the breast fold (inframammary). One type of incision may be better for you based on your cosmetic goals, implant type, and plans for breastfeeding in the future, so your plastic surgeon will recommend the right one for you. Through these incisions, breast implants can be placed either in front of or behind the chest muscle. Scar revision may be a desired service that can help reduce the appearance of surgical scar lines and incisions created from surgeries like breast augmentation.

Breast implants can be filled with either silicone gel or saline. Saline implants are a slightly more affordable option than silicone breast implants and are the only type of implants that are FDA-approved for patients between the ages of 18 and 22 years old. To opt for silicone implants, you must be older. In the case of implant rupture, saline is safely absorbed by the body. The implant shell may then be surgically removed and replaced. Silicone implants tend to have a more natural-feeling texture and hold their shape better than saline. In case of rupture, the silicone gel remains in place within the scar capsule and may be removed along with the implant shell.
Breast implants typically come in two main shapes: round breast implants and teardrop-shaped implants. Both saline breast implants and silicone gel implants may be round or teardrop-shaped. You’ll choose from a variety of breast implant sizes with guidance from your plastic surgeon to ensure your results are natural-looking and in proportion with your body. After the implants are in place and the breast tissue has been reshaped, the incisions are closed using sutures.

More Before & AftersWhy Choose Reflections for Breast Augmentation Surgery
Reflections Center has a reputation of excellence as NJ’s Top Med Spa and Plastic Surgery Group, but when it comes to breast implant surgery, we offer something truly unique. Dr. Fodero is an excellent plastic surgeon, and that stems from both his education and his experience, which has been a mixture of purely cosmetic breast surgery and reconstructive breast surgery. Reconstructive surgery tends to be more complicated and offers unique challenges, which helps hone the skill and technical abilities of the surgeon. His before & after gallery speaks to the quality of his results.
Dr. Fodero is not only board-certified, but holds a Chief of Plastic Surgery title with Morristown and is the recipient of multiple awards in both patient and peer voting. Having an award-winning surgeon on your team, trusted by other surgeons in the industry, is a smart and safe decision to make.
Breast augmentation is purely plastic surgery, so why choose a group that also offers medspa services? Breast augmentation necessarily means scarring and if you’re anything like the hundreds of breast augmentation patients we’ve seen, you want those scars to be as minimal as possible. That’s where our cosmetic physicians come in. We offer proactive scar therapy to not only help your scars heal as discreetly as possible but to speed up that process dramatically.
