he physical exam will help determine the best option of implant location (on top of the muscle or below the muscle), incision (inframammary fold or periareolar) and implant type (silicone or saline). The implant can be placed on top of the muscle (subglandular) or below the muscle (submuscular). Subglandular implant placement is valid in women who have a moderate amount of breast tissue present before surgery and physically active women or bodybuilders. Incision placement is usually below the breast in the inframammary fold. In women with large areola (pigmented portion of breast) a periareolar incision can be used with and without areolar reduction. It is very common for women to have some asymmetry of the breasts. After breast augmentation some asymmetry may still exist. Correction of mild asymmetry in size can be improved by filling saline implants with different amount of fluid. To correct severe asymmetry a breast lift or reduction of the larger breast may be needed at the time of the breast augmentation

This condition may be due to pregnancy, weight loss, or poor skin quality. The ptotic breast is determined by the relationship of the nipple areola complex to the inframammary fold. A youthful nipple position is at or above the fold. Breast lift surgery is designed to move the nipple to a higher, more youthful position. There are 2 basic scar patterns with breast lift surgery depending on the presurgical position of the nipple. The Vertical Lift can be described as a "lollipop" with the scars in the periareolar and vertical inferior breast areas. The scar of the Wise Pattern Lift looks like an "anchor". In addition to the periareolar and vertical scars, a scar of variable length is place in the inframammary fold.

The excess skin and pooching of the lower abdomen may inhibit exercising, make you self conscious during intimacy, or prohibit you from wearing certain styles of clothing. A tummy tuck will improve the contour of the abdomen and the scars are placed to allow concealment with most styles of clothing. An abdominoplasty consists of three parts; excision of excess skin, tightening of the rectus muscles, and transposition of the navel (umbilicus). This procedure may be performed as part of a lower body lift or liposuction may be done to better contour the flanks. The scar is placed just above the pubis and extends out to the hips. Two drains are placed. Women who have minimal skin excess or lower abdominal prominence may be a candidate for a mini tummy tuck. The incision for the mini tummy tuck is much shorter and there is no scar around the navel.
