Baltimore Breast Augmentation

In Baltimore, Maryland, breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty is most often sought after by women who have small under developed breasts or when the natural fullness has been lost due to pregnancy.

This surgical breast enlargement procedure enhances the entire aesthetic proportion of the body. During the breast augmentation, the four most common approaches taken by a surgeon are:

• transaxillary
• periareolar
• inframammary
• transumbilical

These names refer to the location of the incision for the breast implant during surgery. All of these approaches to breast augmentation have their advantages and disadvatages. Patients receiving the procedure by Baltimore breast augmentation specialist, Dr. Daniel P. Markmann, will discuss what options would be most beneficial.

The breast implant (saline or silicone) may be placed either above the pectoral muscle (subglandular) or below the pectoral muscle (subpectoral) depending on the amount of existing breast tissue and the patients desired outcome.

A breast augmentation can increase and enhance the breast size, balance a difference in breast size, restore breast volume that has been lost after pregnancy, or a reconstructive technique following breast surgeries such as mastectomy.
