Leading Breast Augmentation Surgeon in Toronto Ontario
Breast augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical enhancement procedure to accentuate the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. While breast augmentation will make the breasts larger, the surgery will not move the breasts closer together or lift sagging breasts. Breast augmentation is tremendous help to patients who desire a fuller profile, who have lost breast volume due to pregnancy or nursing, or who have undergone breast reconstruction and want to gain a more natural look again.

Things To Consider
Selecting Breast ImplantsSaline Versus Cohesive Gel Implants
Breast Implant TypesSaline Implants
Saline implants are a silicone elastomer shell that is filled with a saltwater solution known as saline. This is the same solution that patients get when having an IV. Saline implants come deflated and are filled with the saline once inserted into the breast. Saline implants have a slightly higher tendency to ripple than cohesive gel implants and therefore need to be placed under the muscle more often. Saline implants tend to provide a more rounded appearance to the breast.
Cohesive Gel Implants
A cohesive gel breast implant is a silicone shell filled with a silicone gel inside. These implants, which have been available for breast augmentation since the year 2000, differ greatly from the previous generation of silicone implants. To understand the consistency of a cohesive gel implant, many patients are told to bite into a gummy bear candy and look inside. For this reason, many patients ask their doctors for “gummy bear” implants rather than referring to them as cohesive gel implants. These implants are widely recognized for their ability to closely mimic the soft, supple appearance and feel of natural female breasts. A cohesive gel implant is filled with a thicker substance than liquid silicone and does not leak if the implant shell holding it inside the breast is ruptured. Cohesive gel implants come in two shapes, an anatomical, and a round shape. The beauty of the anatomical cohesive gel implants is that they come in a variety of heights, widths, and projections, while with a round implant you can only alter the width and projection. It should be noted that anatomical cohesive gel implants are best for women seeking natural-looking breasts that are roughly proportionate to their body structures. Anatomical cohesive gel implants are not recommended for women who are seeking overly large breast enhancement. Rice Cosmetic Surgery is able to recommend an implant that is closest to the natural shape of your breasts, allowing for a more natural looking breast. We offer both round and anatomical cohesive gel implants.
Round Versus Anatomical
Breast Implant ShapesBreast augmentation thru the inframammary fold (IMF) or crease under the breasts
The natural crease under a women’s breast is known as the inframammary fold. This incision is generally the most popular incision to use when inserting a breast implant. The resultant scar is generally hidden under the breast. For women choosing an anatomical or tear drop shaped breast implant, this is generally the only incision you can use, as it is the only incision that the surgeon can assure that the breast implant is straight. The inframammary fold incision is generally the incision with the least complications.
Breast augmentation using the periareolar or around the nipple approach
The areola is the darkened circle that surrounds the nipple. If you think of the areola as a clock this incision goes along the bottom of the circle from the 3 o’clock to the 9 o’clock position. The first thing to realize is that your areola must be large enough to accommodate the implant, so for women with very small areola, this incision may not work. In order to place the implant either above or below the muscle the dissection must go thru the centre part of the breast, this is generally where the milk ducts and nerve endings to the nipple are found. For younger women who have not breastfed yet, they need to realize that this approach may interfere with breastfeeding in the future.
Breast augmentation using the trans axillary or thru the armpit approach
Using the trans-axillary approach the incision is not on the breast but rather thru the armpit. Generally, a round implant is needed using this approach. It can be difficult to insert a cohesive gel or gummy bear implant thru this incision and is usually best for a saline implant. Even though there is no scar on the breast there will be a scar in the armpit and this may be an issue when wearing certain types of clothing that expose the armpit.
