How It Works Choose Your Enhancement

At Athēnix, our plastic surgeons apply their artistic surgical expertise to breast augmentation. Both silicone and saline implants are encased in an outer silicone shell, each imparting a subtly distinct texture and sensation. Our surgeons meticulously select the perfect size, shape, type, and placement of implants to yield a youthful, full, and authentically natural appearance. Fat transfer, on the other hand, provides a more understated enhancement, affording a genuinely natural look and feel.

Silicone Implants

Our surgeons use FDA-approved Sientra® silicone implants. These pre-filled silicone implants closely mimic the natural feel of human fat, offering a texture similar to actual breast tissue. An automatic enrollment in a free warranty program provides peace of mind regarding implant safety and durability.

Natural Fat Transfer

This procedure combines breast augmentation and body sculpting by harvesting excess fat from areas like the thighs or abdomen using liposuction and transferring it to the breasts. It delivers a natural look and feel without the risks of implant rupture or rejection, offering the dual benefit of enhancing your breasts and sculpting another area.

Saline Implants

Saline implants, approved for women 18 years or older, provide a flexible and adjustable option for breast augmentation. They can be pre-filled or filled during surgery, allowing for easier size adjustments. In the rare event of a rupture, the saline is harmlessly absorbed by the body.

Implant Placement: Over or Under the Muscle

Choosing the proper implant placement is crucial in breast augmentation. Surgeons create a "pocket" for the implants either beneath the chest muscle or above the muscle within the breast tissue, depending on your goals and physique.

Submuscular Placement

Submuscular implants are positioned beneath the pectoral muscle, offering protection and making them a good choice for individuals with minimal breast tissue. This placement often results in higher implant positioning, maintaining a youthful appearance over time.

Submammary Placement

Submammary, or subglandular, placement situates the implants above the chest muscle and behind the breast tissue. It suits individuals with adequate skin elasticity or those opting for smaller implants. Submammary placement typically encounters less interference from muscle movement.

Breast Implant Incision Options

Our doctors will consult with you to determine the most suitable incision options based on implant placement, implant size, and implant type. You can consider the following alternatives:

Inframammary Incision

This is one of the most common techniques. The implant is inserted beneath the breast through the skin fold where the breast meets the chest. This results in no visible scarring while standing, as the breast tissue conceals the incision.

Transumbilical Incision

In this approach, the breast implant is inserted through an incision in the navel and then adjusted within the breast pocket. This option only applies to certain saline implants and does not require any incisions on the breast itself.

Transaxillary Incision

The transaxillary method involves implant insertion through an incision in the upper breast beside the armpit's fold. This incision is almost invisible, even when the arm is raised.

Periareolar Incision

Periareolar incisions encircle the areola, resulting in no visible scars. This technique is employed when the implants are placed over the chest muscle.

Natural Breast Augmentation Using Fat Transfer

Considering breast enhancement without implants? A natural breast augmentation in Fresno is an excellent option.

  • Eliminate excess fat from troublesome areas.
  • Enhance breast symmetry and fullness using your body's own fat cells.
  • Achieve fuller breasts without traditional implants.

The process entails precise fat removal via liposuction, followed by purification and reinsertion into the breasts to enhance symmetry and fullness. If the concept of breast implants makes you uneasy, this procedure may be the perfect choice.
