Breast implant type
Jeremy is experienced in utilising a variety of breast implants for breast enlargement Melbourne procedures. The types of breast implants Melbourne has available for insertion differ in a number of ways, with each offering their own advantages. The four main types of implants are outlined below:
Anatomical
Anatomical breast implants are a silicone implant that uses a strong cohesive gel. They offer a tear-drop appearance which mimics the natural breast contour and feel.
Silicone
Silicone breast implants are filled with a silicone gel which feels more like natural breast tissue. They are also less likely to ripple than saline implants.
Smooth
The majority of breast augmentation surgeries use smooth breast implants. Smooth breast implants move with the breast implant pocket, providing more natural movement.
Textured
Textured breast implants develop scar tissue to stick to the implant, making them less likely to move around. This is particularly important with tear-drop shaped implants.

Breast implant placement
During breast augmentation, an implant may be placed either over or under the muscle. Multiple factors will determine the optimal implant placement for each patient, including patient health histo-ry, implant size and type, and the patient’s body type. Each position has its advantages and disad-vantages and is outlined below:
Sub-muscular
A sub-muscular implant is placed behind the pectoral muscle. It creates a more natural appearance because the muscle provides additional tissue coverage over the edges of the implant.
Dual plane
Dual plane combines two placement positions: the upper half of the implant is placed ‘under the muscle’ with the lower half in direct contact with the lower breast.
Sub-glandular
A sub-glandular implant is placed immediately under the breast tissue itself, between it and the un-derlying pectoral muscle.
Breast incision type
One of the most important decisions before breast augmentation is which type of incision will be made for the insertion of the implant. The four most common types of breast implant incision are outlined below:
Inframammary
Inframammary incisions are made in the fold where the lower part of the breast meets the chest wall. From there, a saline or silicone implant can be inserted below or above the muscle.
Periareolar
Periareolar incisions following the curve the outer edge of the areola which separates the darker skin of the nipple from the rest of your breast.
Trans-axillary
A trans-axillary incision is made in the natural fold in the armpit. Once the incision is made, a chan-nel to the breast is created, and a pocket is created behind the breast for the implant.

Breast mastopexy — breast lift
Breasts often change over time, losing their youthful shape and firmness. Its possible to achieve a more pleasing shape and balance between your breast and body with a breast mastopexy, also known as a breast lift. Surgery involves reshaping and repositioning the breasts to improve their aesthetic appearance. Completed under general anaesthetic, the surgery takes approximately 2 to 3 hours. Breast tissue including skin, some glandular tissue and fat is excised or repositioned before the breast is re-modelled.
Breast reduction surgery
Large breasts can cause stress on the back and neck muscles, causing serious pain and discomfort. They can also cause women to become self-conscious, have difficulty wearing particu-lar clothing, or be less physically active. Women who suffer from these symptoms often turn to breast reduction to reduce the size and weight of their breasts. Breast reduction surgery involves removing breast tissue including skin and glandular tissue. The breast is then re-modelled to a de-sirable shape. Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
