Breast implant surgery comes with many possible benefits. Out of all plastic surgery patients, breast augmentation patients are among the happiest and most satisfied. The benefits and advantages of Long Island breast augmentation include:

Dr. Blyer can perform breast augmentation in several different ways. Though, he may recommend a particular technique depending on the implant the patient chooses, their anatomy, or if they are undergoing a combination breast surgery. Dr. B is highly skilled in the three major breast augmentation incision methods: the inframammary fold, periareolar, and transaxillary.
The inframammary fold—the scientific name for the crease underneath the breast—is the traditional incision location for breast augmentation. It allows for easy access to all of the necessary tissues including the chest muscle. The incision is generally around four centimeters long.
The one downside to a breast crease incision is that the scars may become visible later on. While it is still extremely discreet and covered by most bras and bathing suits, this may not be the ideal option for women wanting to keep scarring off their breasts.
A periareolar incision uses a small incision that curves around one half of the areola to place the implant. While useful in some situations, going through the areola does not happen as frequently. Any future scar is covered when the breasts are and tend to blend in with the pigment change between the breasts and areola.
Depending a woman’s goals and preferences, this breast augmentation incision can have serious downsides. Since it is the closest to the nipple, it poses the highest risk of affecting nipple sensation or future breastfeeding ability.
The transaxillary incision consists of an incision made within the deepest crease of the armpit. This method gained significant popularity in the last decade. Many patients are attracted to the stealth scar and distance from the nipple and breast glands. This obviously offers many pros for patients.
The biggest aesthetic con is that it sometimes can be more difficult to achieve breast symmetry with this method. However, an experienced surgeon like Dr. B can usually work around this. Though sometimes a patient’s anatomy may simply not be conducive to an armpit incision.

Patients can take years to make the decision to undergo a Long Island breast augmentation. Even patients happy with their implants often have things they wish they knew going into surgery. Some tips include:
‍
All surgical procedures come with risks. However, breast augmentation comes with relatively few due to the small incision, short surgery time, and the “no-touch” implant placement technique. The typical surgical risks seen with all surgeries including infection, nerve damage, and fluid collection can all occur, but are rare.
There is no upper age limit for getting breast implants. As long as a patient is healthy, a good candidate, and can give consent, they can undergo the surgery. However, patients must be at least 18 for saline breast implants and 22 for silicone breast implants.
The breast augmentation cost Long Island depends on several factors including choice of breast implant and the technicality of the surgery. Breast augmentation with Dr. B Fixin starts at $8,500 for silicone breast implants.
