SEE VIDEO FOR BREAST IMPLANT SIZING:

First off, if you picture is your current breast size, it appears that you breasts are sufficinently large. I would first discourage you from undergoing the procedure but if this is due to a padded bra and you still desire enlargement, I would further discourage you from this approach. It can be difficult to accurately place the implants. Certainly if you desire silicones, it may be very difficult.

I would recommend an incision through the areola in comparison to the belly button. There are many more risks and complications going through the belly button because it is farther away from the breasts. There are more instruments and tools used in order to place the implants correctly which may cause nerve damage as well. Peri-areolar incisions heal nicely and allow surgeons to better place the implants using less instruments. (less)

There are many opinions on the placement of breast implants. As a woman physician, sensitive to the future mammographies of my patients, I usually prefer to place the implants under the chest muscle. My preference is to place the implants through a 2 inch incision hidden in the breast fold. They may also be placed though the armpit. Incision through the navel may sound like a good idea, but in some cases it results in a noticeable "V" shaped scar from the tube that is inserted through the navel up to the breast area to move the implants into place. Your PS will advise if the augmentation alone will create enough lift for your breasts, or if a mastopexy is needed with the augmentation. (less)
