asian breast augmentation before and after
in 2011,the american society of plastic surgeons determinedthat just under a million asian patients had cosmeticsurgery in the united states. and the second mostcommon procedure was breast augmentation. i'm lucky that i havea significant asian population. and this has allowedme over time to better understandthe subtleties, when treating an asian woman.
i don't wanna over generalize, but in general a lot of myasian patients are very petite. they have small breasts. the fold under the breastsis not that well-developed. the nipple sizeis quite small. so, all of this needs to betaken into consideration, when you put together the planfor the breast augmentation. another major concernis that in general, patients with an asianbackground have a tendency
to make a little bit more scarthan, for example, a caucasian woman, who has light skinand light colored eyes. so again, that has to betaken into consideration. so, when i'm dealing withyour breast augmentation, i need to put together a planthat takes into consideration that you wanta natural breast augmentation, that's what you want. i need to takeinto consideration
the possibilityof excess scarring. and put that all together, taking into accountthe ethnic differences. so many of my asian patientshave very small nipples, so that excludes that as a wayto put the implant in. a lot of my patients also do nothave a very well-developed fold under the breast. so, in many cases, your breastaugmentation is best done through an incisionin the arm pit.
if you do have somewhatof a developed fold, that's also a good option. the other consideration is,when i have an asian patient, particularly if their skin'sa little bit on the dark side. i'm already thinking, you know, there may beincreased scarring here. while i alwaysdo the best suture job that i possibly can. most-- the majorityof my patients will go
with a typical scar gelafter the surgery. for a lot of my asian patients i would recommend to you,silicon sheeting, which is a much morepowerful scar treatment right off the bat. somebody that doesn't havevery much fold definition, the skin is a little biton the darker side as, you know,asian patients often have. there's a high tendency towardssignificant scar formations
called hypertrophicscar formations, very thick scar. much thicker than youwould see in, for example a caucasian patientthat has pale skin or blue eyes. so, in that individual, it's probably inyour best interest to go with the incisionin the arm pits. it takes the incisionright off the chest, where the scarring may bea little bit less intense.
taking care to do the breastaugmentation properly, to place the incisionsproperly, suture them, treat them properly to tryto minimize the scarring. that's the whole purposeof your breast augmentation. you wanna feel betterabout yourself. you wanna fit in yourclothing better, you wanna wear whatyou wanna wear.
