Breast Augmentation Basics
Breast augmentation with implants is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts using silicone or saline implants.
During the procedure, Dr. Gabrick makes an incision—usually under the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit—and then creates a pocket either above or beneath the pectoral muscle to insert the implant.
Implant type, size, and placement are all tailored to complement your body’s proportions and personal goals. The result is a fuller, more harmonious figure.
Incision and Implant Placement
Dr. Gabrick utilizes incision techniques designed to provide beautifully discreet, minimal scarring, explicitly tailored to your anatomy and aesthetic preferences:
- Transaxillary: Expertly hidden within the natural crease of your underarm, this incision avoids any visible scarring on your breast, ideal if you desire maximum discretion and seamless healing.
- Inframammary: Carefully positioned in the natural fold beneath your breast, this incision allows precise implant placement, offers exceptional camouflage, and ensures long-lasting, elegant results.
- Periareolar (Sub-Areolar): Thoughtfully made along the lower border of your areola, this incision blends seamlessly with your natural pigmentation, providing a subtle, nearly invisible scar.
Next, your implants will be placed in one of two planes:
- Subfascial: Positioned above the chest muscle but beneath the supportive fascia of your breast tissue, this placement offers natural shape and movement, ideal if you have sufficient breast tissue and prefer minimal postoperative recovery.
- Submuscular (Dual Plane): Situated partially beneath the pectoralis muscle, this method enhances implant coverage, reduces risks such as rippling, and provides natural-looking contours, making it optimal for people with thinner tissue or an active lifestyle.
During your consultation, Dr. Gabrick will thoughtfully evaluate your tissue characteristics, lifestyle, and personal goals to determine the best incision and placement method to deliver refined, lasting beauty tailored uniquely to you.
Internal Bra Support for Long-Lasting Beauty
At Refine Surgery, we offer the Internal Bra, a sophisticated technique designed to reinforce and support the breast from the inside out. This advanced method uses a soft, biocompatible mesh that gradually dissolves as your body replaces it with its own collagen, creating a natural internal scaffold.
The Internal Bra is ideal for patients seeking lasting shape and support, especially those:
- Undergoing revision surgery
- Addressing laxity from pregnancy or weight loss
- Wanting a longer-lasting result from augmentation or lift
This technique supports the lower pole of the breast and helps preserve upper fullness, minimizing the risk of bottoming out. The result? A beautiful, enduring shape—achieved with surgical precision and artistic intention.
Are You a Good Candidate?
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you:
- Are in good physical health and have fully developed breasts
- Feel that your breasts are too small or lack volume
- Have lost breast shape
- Desire better symmetry or correction of congenital shape differences
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Do not smoke, or are willing to quit for a period before and after surgery to support healing
- Have adequate skin elasticity and tissue support for implant placement
