Sometimes, the only thing holding a patient back from moving forward with breast augmentation is concern about having a breast implant scar.

Are you concerned about breast implant scar locations? Want to make sure no one knows you’ve had surgery? Or, simply don’t want a pesky scar to mar your results?

Let’s take a look at some important facts about breast implant scar locations and how you can make your implant scars nearly imperceptible with just a few simple steps.

But first, do you have to have scars from breast implants?

Do All Breast Implants Scar?

In a word, yes. Whenever there is an incision involved in surgery, there’s going to be a scar. And breast implant surgery does require incisions so that the implants can be placed. Therefore, there will be scars.

The good news, however, is that breast implant scars are usually not noticeable — especially after some time has passed and especially if you take the necessary steps to limit their appearance.

So, where is the scar when you get breast implants? It won’t always be the same for every patient. Let’s take a closer look.

Breast Implant Scar Locations

Breast implant scar locations depend on several factors, including what type of surgery is being performed, whether a breast lift is also being performed, what type of implant is being used (saline vs. silicone, textured vs. smooth, etc.), and the anatomy of the patient.

Generally speaking, breast implant scar locations (where the implants are inserted) may be:

In the breast crease or breast fold, beneath the breast (inframammary incision)
In the armpit (transaxillary incision)
At the areola’s edge (periareolar incision)

How big are they?

This also depends, but typically, each breast augmentation scar is approximately 1.5 inches to 2.5 inches long.

Dr. Matthew Schulman uses advanced breast augmentation techniques to create his implant incisions. One such technique is the short-scar breast augmentation, which features the Keller Funnel. He also uses Botox-assisted breast augmentation.

Botox-assisted breast augmentation has a range of benefits. It can first reduce or eliminate the need for narcotic pain meds. It can also reduce the sensation of tightness post-surgery and decrease muscle pain overall. Finally, Botox-assisted breast augmentation can provide faster final results and will certainly cut the time patients need to refrain from certain activities.

Do Breast Implant Scars Go Away?

With time, breast implant scars will fade considerably, but they will never completely go away. Basically, they can become nearly invisible if you take care of them correctly.

So, how do you hide breast implant scars?

You should start by paying close attention to the aftercare instructions provided by Dr. Schulman. You’ll receive a packet of information after your surgery that will explain to you exactly how to properly care for your incisions, what to refrain from doing during your recovery, and how to spend most of your time (rest is key). Follow this closely, and if you have questions, do not hesitate to ask.

Within your instructions, you will be directed to avoid physically exerting yourself. That means not lifting heavy objects and not getting tired and sweaty through exercise. Some slow and gentle walking for short distances is fine when you are able. In fact, frequent ambulation (movement) after surgery is good and will help reduce your pain and inflammation. Overall, you don’t want to move too much or too quickly because you could pull your stitches or sutures, which can worsen scarring.

Make sure you also stay out of the sun during your recovery. Exposing your scars to sunlight can make them more apparent over time. Finally, drink plenty of water and eat a healthy diet. Hydrated, healthy skin doesn’t scar as badly as dehydrated skin. If, after your incisions have healed, you want to take your scar concealment a step further, you might also try silicone treatments. Silicone scar reducing sheets can often inhibit your breast augmentation scar appearance even more.

In rare cases where breast implant scars are still noticeable and you would like to reduce their appearance even more, breast implant scar removal is possible through techniques such as dermabrasion and laser skin resurfacing.

Patients will be happy to hear that breast augmentation surgery has one of the quickest recovery times out of all the surgeries we offer at Schulman Plastic Surgery.

When compared to procedures like tummy tucks, mommy makeovers, and Brazilian butt lifts — some of which require several weeks of downtime — breast augmentations usually only necessitate a few days off from work or school. Patients are able to resume their normal activities so quickly due to the the state-of-the-art rapid recovery techniques we employ.

Let’s take a closer look at what rapid recovery entails and what to expect from breast augmentation recovery week by week.

What Is Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation?

When rapid recovery techniques are used during breast augmentation surgery, what this really means is that Dr. Schulman is taking extra steps during your surgery to ensure less bruising, less swelling, and less pain — both during the procedure and during your recovery. Likewise, the anesthesiologist will take additional steps while administering your anesthesia, and this will make your recovery easier as well.

Rapid recovery has worked impressively well for Dr. Schulman’s patients over the past decade. Most patients are able to bounce back in just a few days, whereas prior to the use of these techniques, it might have taken several weeks for patients to return to work and other activities.

Breast Augmentation Recovery Week by Week

As far as the surgical process itself, breast augmentation generally takes less than an hour to perform. Your procedure will take place under general anesthesia at Dr. Schulman’s fully certified and accredited office operating room.

Immediately after your surgery, you will be taken to a nearby recovery room where you will stay for about one hour until you feel well enough to go home, accompanied by a trusted friend or relative.

Before going home, you’ll be given a detailed list of recovery instructions. All of these instructions are critical to your surgery’s success. In order to ensure a great outcome and to prevent complications from your surgery, make sure you follow these instructions closely.

Weeks 1 and 2 of Breast Augmentation Recovery

Again, one of the best things about breast augmentation surgery is that most patients can go back to their regular routine within the first few days after the procedure. Likewise, most patients have little to no discomfort or pain after the first few days. And even during this initial period, any pain that is experienced should be very minimal and require little to no pain medication. Some light soreness is normal. But other than this, most patients feel comfortable and generally mobile.

After about three days, most patients are able to return to school or work. One thing you may notice is that the overall size and shape of your breasts may appear a bit unnatural at first. This is simply because the skin needs time to stretch around the new implants. You’ll also have some postoperative swelling, which can distort the actual size of your breasts and make them appear larger than they really are. These types of symptoms may linger for several weeks or months, but over time, your breasts will settle into their correct position.

Remember that over the first few weeks of your recovery, you’ll need to take it easy. Even though you can return to a desk job or similar within a few days, this doesn’t mean you will be able to go back to exercising or working a physically demanding job right away. You need to avoid lifting anything over 10 pounds for at least several weeks and refrain from strenuous physical activities (especially stretching or straining your chest muscles) for several weeks as well.

Weeks 3 and 4 of Breast Augmentation Recovery

Starting the third week of breast augmentation recovery, most patients will be cleared to return to light exercise, including cardio activity and/or strength training with weights. By this time, you should be feeling little to no soreness or discomfort. You may have some light bruising still, but this should be minimal. And any swelling will have gone down considerably by this time as well.

Most patients will need to continue wearing their postoperative soft surgical bra (or similar) in order to promote healing, reduce residual swelling, and keep the breasts in place for an optimal outcome. You’ll notice that as the swelling goes down and the tightness reduces, your breasts will “settle”, which basically means they’ll drop down to where they’re supposed to be. This will give you that nice, natural teardrop shape with more “underboob” than you initially had at the beginning of your recovery

FAQ: Breast Augmentation

What happens at a breast augmentation consultation appointment?

During your consultation appointment with Dr. Schulman, you’ll discuss what you’d like to achieve with breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Schulman will perform a short physical exam to look at your current breasts and let you know what your best options are. You can take a look at different implant sizes and shapes and discuss placement and the cost of surgery as well. If you have any questions, be sure to bring them along.

What kind of anesthesia is used during breast augmentation?

Dr. Schulman performs breast augmentation using general anesthesia.

What kind of scars will I have after breast augmentation?

This depends on the method we use for surgery. For most patients, the safest and best incision location for breast augmentation surgery is right in the breast crease beneath the breast. This is where Dr. Schulman would insert the implant. Therefore, this would be the location of the resulting scar, although scars are minor with this surgery. Other possible incision locations include the armpit or around the areola.

Breast Implant Myths: Breast Augmentation with breast implants is the most popular procedure performed by Board Certified Plastic Surgeons. There were over 325,000 breast augmentations performed in the United States last year, making it the number one procedure. The number of breast augmentation procedures has been increasing about 4% each year. The advancing implant technology, combined with improved surgical techniques that offer a more rapid recovery, are some of the reasons why this procedure continues to become more popular year after year.

Breast Augmentation surgery is a procedure to increase the size of the breasts by inserting breast implants. These implants can be made out of either silicone gel or salt water (saline). The implants make the breast larger, rounder, and fuller. Breast Augmentation surgery is often combine with other plastic surgery procedures such as tummy tucks, liposuction, and Brazilian butt lifts.

While this procedure is extremely popular, there are many myths about the surgery.

Most Common Breast Implant Myths.

Breast Implant Myths #1: Breast Augmentation is Only For Young People

It is true that the majority of women who undergo breast augmentation surgery are between the ages of 25 and 35 years old. These are usually women who have always had small breasts and have always wanted them to be bigger. Many of these women have been wanting the procedure since they were in their teens. This is why this procedure is so popular among young women.

However, this procedure is still very popular among women over 35 years old. Many women experience changes in their breasts over time. This may be from aging, weight changes, pregnancies, and breast feeding. This is why even women in their 50s, 60s, and beyond desire breast augmentation surgery.

Many moms undergo a Mommy Makeover procedure, to help reverse the changes associated with pregnancies. Breast augmentation is usually a major component of these Mommy Makeovers. So, breast augmentation is a procedure for women of all ages.

Breast Implant Myths #2: You Can’t Breast Feed if You Have Breast Implants:

Many women fear that if they get breast implants, it will interfere with their ability to breast feed a child. This is not true. When breast augmentation surgery is properly performed, there is virtually no disruption of the normal anatomy of the breasts. This means that the breast feeding mechanisms are completely unaffected. The implants are either placed under the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. This means that the breast producing gland is untouched, and the milk ducts that bring milk to the nipple, are not cut.

This means that if you were able to breast feed, then you still will be able to breast feed. What is important to acknowledge is that not every woman is normally able to breast feed. Some are unable to produce enough milk to sustain a baby. Studies have shown that as many as 5% of all women (without implants) are physically unable to breast feed.

So, it is follows that at least 5% of women who undergo breast implant surgery, will be unable to breast feed. However, this has nothing to do with the breast augmentation surgery. The presence of a breast implant will also not harm a breast feeding baby.

Procedures like breast lifts and breast reductions do carry a risk of interfering with your ability to breast feed, since these procedures involve directly cutting the breast tissue and even removing some tissue.

Breast Implant Myths #3: Breast Always Look Fake After Breast Augmentation Surgery:

Many women fear having breast augmentation surgery because they fear looking fake. They think that breast implants always look tight, round, and hard. It is true that some breast implants look incredibly fake, but this is usually the look the woman requested. However, it is possible to have this surgery done and still maintain a natural appearance. The key to this natural look, is selecting a breast implant that best fits your body.

If an implant is too large for you body, then it will look round and tight. A properly selected breast implant will fit nicely into the normal dimension of your native breast tissue. Generally, the smaller the implant, the more natural it will look. Modern silicone gel tends to look and feel most natural as well. Implants placed under the chest muscles have more tissue covering them, and tend to look more natural.

So, if you are looking for a natural appearance after your breast augmentation surgery, you may want to consider smaller implants, silicone gel material, placed under the muscle, and performed by a skilled Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

Breast Implant Myths #4: There Will Be a Lot of Pain:

Breast Augmentation surgery is not incredibly painful. Of course, any surgical procedure will be associated with some post-operative pain. If the implant is placed under your chest muscle, then there will be pain associated with the elevation of the muscle. There will also be some pressure in the chest from the presence of the implant. If a large implant in placed within small, tight breasts, you will experience some more pressure than if a small implant was placed.

The incision itself is very small and is usually not painful at all. Overall, most breast augmentation patients are fairly comfortable within just a few days. A Board Certified Plastic Surgeon, skilled at breast augmentation, should be able to utilize modern techniques to reduce your post-operative pain.

Breast Implant Myths #5: Activities will be Restricted For a Long Time:

There will be some activity restrictions during the recovery period, but these are not major. You will be able to perform normal activities within about 48-72 hours. This means that you will be able to shower, go out to dinner, walk around, visit friends, etc. You will be advised to avoid heavy lifting and heavy exercise for about 2 weeks. This will allow the surgical area to heal. If the implants are placed under the muscle, you will need to be extra careful to allow the chest muscle to heal and reduce the risk of bleeding. So, breast augmentation surgery is very well tolerated with most patients returning to work and school after a long weekend.

Breast Implant Myths #6: Implants will Interfere with Mammograms:

Breast cancer is unfortunately very common. In fact, women have 1 in 8 lifetime risk of developing breast cancer. This makes breast cancer screening with mammograms very important. In the United States, the current recommendation is for women to undergo screening mammograms every year, beginning at age 40. If there is a personal or family history of breast cancer, or other risk factors, they may be advised to start mammograms even before age 40.

Some think that if you have breast implants, it will make the detection of breast cancer on a mammogram more difficult. This is a valid concern, but luckily, it is not the case. There are modifications that are made during your mammogram if you have breast implants. So, make sure to tell your mammogram technician if you have had a previous breast augmentation surgery, so they can make the necessary adjustments to your test. There are also other methods such as MRI and ultrasound that can help detect any suspicious breast lesions.

Breast Implant Myths #7: Breast Implants Need to be Changed Every 10 Years:

Many people think that if they get breast augmentation surgery, they need to change the breast implants every ten years. This is not an absolute. Breast implants only need to be changed if there is a problem with them (such as a leak) or if you desire to change them (for a new size, shape, or style).

If you have no problem with your implants and are happy with the size, then you do not need to change them routinely. They are not like car tires – they do not wear out and need to be changed.

However, you should be aware that breast implants are not designed to be lifetime devices. This means that if you decide to have breast augmentation surgery, you should be aware that there is a likelihood that you will need or want to have another breast surgery procedure at some point in your life. This is particularly true if you have your surgery at a young age.

It’s often the case that making the decision to have breast augmentation surgery in the first place is “the easy part.” Deciding on the size of the augmentation, on the other hand, can be a bit more of a challenge.

Of course, this decision doesn’t have to be stressful. Undoubtedly, you want to spend time thinking about it and investigate your options. But there’s no reason to let yourself be consumed with anxiety. Breasts implants are available in a variety or sizes, from very small to very large, so with the help of a skilled board certified plastic surgeon, you can get exactly what you want.

The guide ahead will help you make a well-informed decision that you’ll surely be happy with when you see your results.

Choosing Your Breast Implant Size Video

Tips for Choosing the Right Size for Your Breast Augmentation

1. Start with your own measurements.

It’s important to get exactly what you want out of your new breast implants, but you also must work with the body you have. In other words, you need to choose an implant size that matches your body size and shape.

This means starting with your own measurements. What is your current cup size? Band size? Bra size? Are you small framed? What is the width of your chest frame? Do you have large hips? Ideally, you’ll choose a breast implant size that is complementary to your overall frame. During your consultation, your board certified New York City plastic surgeon will take measurements of your breast width. This will help you in your decision.

2. Understand the “Look” you are going for.

You should be aware of the ultimate “look” you want to achieve. Are you going for “curvy” or “voluptuous”? Or are you hoping for an “athletic” appearance? This will also help guide you to the appropriate breast implant size. Smaller implants tend to look more “natural” and “athletic”, while larger volume breasts implants will give more curves. Again, this is a very broad generalization and you must consider your body measurements as discussed in #1.

This means that if you have a board build to begin with, you will likely be able to still achieve a natural appearance with a large implant. Very narrow body types or very thin women, may still look overly curvy with even a small implant.

3. Understand the limitations of your own breast tissue

If you’d like your new breasts to be much bigger than your current size, remember that you still must consider the limitations of your breast tissue. After all, your breast and skin still have to accommodate the implant. There’s no way to stretch the breast tissue beyond its limits, nor would you want to try. Implants that are too large for your own breast tissue can cause long-term damage to the tissues and place you at increased risk for implant-related complications or the need for future surgeries.

At your consultation appointment, your surgeon will address this issue by assessing the amount of breast tissue you have available to possibly accommodate larger implants. Your surgeon will perform a “pinch test” by pinching your breast tissue and skin, in order to determine how large an implant you can hold.

In some cases, you can “work your way up” to a larger cup size by starting with one surgery that takes your cup size from an A to a C, for example, and then waiting a few more years before moving on from a C to a D or DD, for instance.

4. Look in Magazines and Online to see what type of results you want…or don’t want.

Just as you might take a picture of a celebrity’s hair style and take it to your salon, you can find pictures of celebrities’ overall shapes and take them to your plastic surgeon for reference when it comes to the breast implant size you want to try.

Go online or flip through magazines to find someone who has a similar overall body shape to you. If you like the way their breasts look, this may be a good model to shape your new implants on. The pictures should also greatly help your surgeon determine the best course of surgery to undergo. For example, in some cases, a breast lift New York City may also be warranted while it won’t be necessary for other women.

Keep in mind though, that everyone is different and it is often impossible to totally replicate a look you see in a photo. But again, surgeons will find this helpful since it is easier for patients to show what they want with photos then explain what they want in words. You should also include photos of results that you do NOT want. These photos are equally helpful to your surgeon.

5. Remember that bigger implants can be heavy.

If you’re thinking about getting implants on the bigger side, don’t forget that they’re going to be heavier, and sometimes the weight can be significant. Some women who get very large implants end up complaining of back, neck, and shoulder pain. After all, the heavier your breasts are, the more weight your spine needs to support.

Indeed, back, neck, and shoulder pain, are a primary reason for breast reduction surgery. Furthermore, breasts that are heavy tend to cause problems with ptosis (drooping caused by aging) or sagging later on because the weight of a large implant will stretch the breast tissue.

To rule out any potential problems with excessively heavy implants, Dr. Schulman routinely tells his patients to try out some differently sized implants before taking the plunge on a chosen pair.

You may be able to take a sample pair of implants home with you. You can then try them out by wearing them for a few days. You can wear them in your bra to work or out to dinner at night with your favorite outfit and set of heels. If it’s uncomfortable to wear the larger pairs or if you don’t end up liking the size you’re wearing when you look in the mirror, this is a good way to find this out before getting the actual surgery.

6. Forget about the volume number.

A lot of women are obsessed with the volume or number of “CCs” of their future implants, but this number is rather irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

To clarify, all breast implants are measured by their volume in CCs or cubic centimeters. When an implant has a higher number of CCs, it’s going to be bigger and make your breasts appear larger as a result. The truth is, however, the exact number of CCs doesn’t really matter as much as you may think. Once you start talking volume changes of at least 50 CCs, then yes, someone will be able to tell the difference.

But if you’re trying to decide between a set of implants that are 350 CCs vs. a set of implants that are 330 CCs, this is really not an important difference that will be noticeable by anyone except your actual plastic surgeon and yourself. The difference is only 1-2 millimeters and virtually undetectable to all but a trained surgeon.

Also, modern breast implants come in a variety of shapes and profiles. This means that there are important characteristics besides just volume. Some implants are wider and flatter, while others are more narrow and project more……even if they are the exact same volume. These nuances are part of what your surgeon will discuss with you.

7. Meet with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.

All of the above tips are great places to start when it comes to choosing the ideal implant size for your breast augmentation surgery. But the very best way to find an optimal implant size is to meet with your plastic surgeon for an in-office consultation. The best New York City breast augmentation surgeon will spend a significant amount of time with you, helping you to determine an optimal implant size for your desired results.

At your consultation appointment, be sure to speak up and be vocal about what you want. Your surgeon will not only assess your body to determine the optimal size range of implants that will be available to you, but they’ll also speak with you about your specific needs and desires. Tell them what you want in your new breasts, and show them any pictures that help exemplify what you hope to look like when your surgery has healed.

Your surgeon will be able to tell you what your options will be and can guide you through what to expect before, during, and after your surgery as well. Dr. Matthew Schulman of Schulman Plastic Surgery is available to consult with you about your upcoming breast augmentation surgery any time you’re ready.

According to national data, the most common reason for reoperation after breast augmentation is not implant rupture, infection, or scarring….it is size change!

It is all too common for women to undergo breast augmentation yet still feel like they want to be bigger. As a board certified plastic surgeon specializes in cosmetic breast surgery, this makes me crazy because it is preventable.

June 6, 2011/in Breast Implants, Plastic Surgery /by Dr. Matthew Schulman

There is a new weapon in the war against small breasts – a breast implant that has adjustable volume. Adjustable breast implants have a port through which saline can be added or removed. This allows the volume to be adjusted for various reasons. Before you get too excited, these are not intended to allow women to increase their breast size for a night on the town, or decrease the size for that important business meeting.

The adjustment process involves a plastic surgeon placing a sterile needle through the skin into the fill port that is under the skin and meticulously adding or removing sterile saline solution. So it is a far cry from the Reebok Pump sneaker technology of the Eighties.

As I lounged on the beach this weekend (with my SPF 50), my eyes wandered to all the breasts around me. It’s ok, because as I tell my wife, it’s all “research” and I assured her it was for my latest blog entry. Breasts can be found in a variety of shapes and sizes.

But the point is that the breasts that I observed are likely not the same size and shape that they were five years earlier. Breasts are extremely susceptible to changes – they change with age, weight, pregnancy, and breast feeding. To understand why, we have to examine the physiology of the female breast.
