Choices of breast implant incision (scar) A-under the armpit B- around the areola C-under the breast, in the breast crease.

Breast Implants choices:

You can choose between Saline breast implants and Silicone breast implants. Saline implants in Sydney are running out of fashion. Silicone breast implants are made of rubber shell and are filled with highly cohesive silicone gel.

Latest breast silicone implants are far superior to saline implants in terms of feel, shape and longevity. It is for these reasons Dr Barnouti, Breast implants specialist in Sydney, recommends to use the modern silicone breast implants in Sydney today.

Introduction: Breast implants Sydney

Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty, is one of the most common cosmetic plastic surgery procedures performed today. Studies have shown that more than fifty percent of women wish to alter the appearance of their breasts. Dr Barnouti will recommend for you the best breast implant style and size based on your wishes and proportions.

During breast augmentation, a breast implant is placed inside a pocket formed in the breast tissue. This can help to increase or balance the size of the breast and restore breast volume. On occasion a breast implant surgery is combined with a breast lift surgery in order to correct a significant sagginess in the breast tissue.

Breast augmentation/breast enlargement procedures performed under twilight sedation and local anaesthetics in which you are sleep for the entire procedure. It takes 1.5 hour.

Step 1:

The marking:

Dr Barnouti will mark the breast to determine the borders of dissection and where to place the incision.

Step 2:

After cleansing your skin with antiseptic agent and draping the area with sterile sheets, Dr Barnouti will make a small incision either in the lower portion of the breast crease(also known as inframmammary incision), or within the areola(pigmented part of the breast tissue) or in the armpit. Dr Barnouti will advise you on the best approach for you during the consultation.

Step 3:

Through this incision Dr Barnouti will work his way to create a pocket. The breast implants pocket is carefully created to fit the selected implant. This pocket can be under the muscle (submuscular breast implant); under the breast tissue (subglandular breast implant) or half under the muscle and half under the breast tissue in what is known as the dual plane breast implant. Dr Barnouti prefers to use the dual plane technique as it has advantages of both techniques. Dual plane technique is the latest in breast enlargement.

This illustration shows a comparison between breast implants placed under the breast tissue (above the muscle), under the muscle and dual plane (under the muscle upper half and under breast tissue lower half).

Step 4:

Dr Barnouti will then insert the selected breast implants into their pockets and inspect the breasts to ensure that they are symmetric. This may involve sitting you up, while you are asleep, to view how the implants look under the influence of gravity.

This manoeuvre will ensure the breast implants sitting well in the cavity in a lying and upright positions.

Step 5:

The incisions will then be closed using self-dissolving sutures so you do not have to go through the inconvenience of removing them later. The scars from the breast surgery incisions will fade slowly over several months, but it may take up to a year before start fading and refining.  As with any surgery, breast enlargement surgery will produce some pain and swelling afterwards. The majority of the breast swelling will likely subside within a few days. However, some swelling may persist six weeks after breast augmentation.

Step 6:

Compression Garment- a special breast enlargement bra

Dr Barnouti will place you in a special bra or compression garment after your breast augmentation. This will aid in the healing process. Compression garments provide support and comfort, minimize breast swelling, and help to maintain the position of the breast implants.

The breast implants surgery in Sydney by Dr Barnouti

A small incision of about 4 centimetres in length is created either around the breast areole (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), under the breast, or in the armpit. This will depend on your breast anatomy and the type of implant you select.

Working through the incision, Dr Barnouti lifts the breast tissue and skin to create a pocket, Dual plane breast implants position, in several cases, combines the best of the submuscular breast implant position with the best of the subglandular breast implants position. The muscle is released from its lowest origin in the inferior and lower medial portions of the breast area, and elevated in the superior aspect of the breast implant pocket. Because of this inferior release, the breast implant is allowed to rest behind the breast tissue in the lower aspect of the pocket. This enables the muscle to shell the upper breast implant and hide it from being easily seen and felt. At the same time, the dual plane breast implants position allows the implant to fill out the breast in the lower region, behind the nipple, to make a great teardrop shape and a natural breast appearance. Additionally, the muscle is able to massage the implant in the superior portion of the pocket, and thereby assists reducing the problematic scar contractures that requires to be avoided.

5 Common Reasons to Have Breast implants, Breast Augmentation, or Breast Lift in Sydney By Dr Barnouti.

 Each women has her personal reasons for desiring breast implants. While we council every patient to make sure that her interests in breast augmentation and breast implants are commensurate with her goals, there are particular main common reasons that women come to see us for breast enlargement or breast lift surgery in Sydney. Deciding on breast implants operation is a very personal decision, and one not to be made casually or lightly. Finding the right operation, and having it performed by the right cosmetic plastic surgeon in Sydney, is key to increasing the likelihood of a long lasting and great breast results. Making the decision to have a breast implants should be well thought out by the patient as well.

Here are 5 common reasons Dr. Barnouti performs breast implants in Sydney:

1. "I can’t find flattering clothes that fit me."

This is perhaps the most frequent complaint of our patients at Sydney Plastic Surgery. In Australia, summery apparel and bathing suits can be fun to wear, but can emphasise particular aspects of the body. Wearing many of these clothes with a bigger bust produce a very attractive look; one that many men and women desire. In addition, several women feel that breast implant surgery enable them to find this type of clothing that also fits the rest of their body. This is a good reason to consider surgery.

2. "I would like my body and breast to be more proportional."

Many women find that their body type and their breast size don’t appear to match to each other. This is the same reason that some women get breast reductions and this is a good reason for that operation as well. A proportioned appearance can look aesthetically pleasing, with or without clothing. That being said, each has her own ideal", and the patients ideal proportion" is the one that surgeon should strive to accomplish. Breast implant surgery can assist to achieve a proportional look, and that is what Dr Barnouti aim to achieve here at Sydney Plastic Surgery.

3. "My breasts have become smaller as I’ve aged."

Often throughout pregnancy, a woman’s breast will expand with growth of the milk producing glands necessary for breast-feeding. This is often a welcomed change. Subsequently, certain women experience a shrinking of the breast tissue, and hope to achieve the appearance they had before or during pregnancy. This again, is an excellent reason to get breast implant surgery. We assist mothers who very much adore returning to their pre-atrophy look.

4."My breasts are sagging."

This is called ptosis", or drooping of the breast, and also may follow pregnancy as an undesirable change. A breast lift alone may correct this problem, however sometimes an implant may be necessary as well to accomplish the appearance that the patients wishes to have. The mastopexy (lift) can be performed at the same time as the breast implant placement, and gives a great, youthful appearance to the breast form.

5. "My breasts are different sizes."

Breast asymmetry is a natural and completely normal finding. Certain degree of natural asymmetry should be expected as part of life, although if there is a significant variance in appearance between the two breasts, breast implant surgery can assist to provide the patient an improved appearance. In these situations, a different sized breast implant can be utilised on each side to achieve a natural, symmetric look. No two breasts will ever be exactly the same size with or without surgery, but with today’s surgical options, enhancement can be made to the point that it is difficult to see any difference in the size or shape from one breast to the other.
