Moreover, during the consultation, Dr. Ditesheim will formulate a tailored approach to your breast augmentation surgery, delving into not only the choice of implant type and size but also determining the optimal incision method. While both saline and silicone implants are safe and FDA-approved, Dr. Ditesheim typically recommends silicone implants for their closer resemblance to natural breast tissue and diminished detectability.

All breast augmentation incisions will be as inconspicuous as possible, as Dr. Ditesheim understands that visible scarring is a leading concern among breast augmentation patients. Your unique incision pattern is based on the type of breast implant, implant size, and either your or Dr. Ditesheim’s preference.
This technique involves creating an incision around the areola's circumference, the dark skin encircling the nipple. Typically chosen for women experiencing mild sagging and seeking to avoid larger implants.
The term "Infra" signifies "below," and "mammary" pertains to the breasts. Consequently, the inframammary incision is created directly beneath the breast, within the crease where the lower part of the breast meets the chest skin.
An incision is performed in the armpit through a transaxillary approach, utilizing the natural fold present in that area. Following the incision, a pathway to the breast is established, and a pocket is crafted behind the breast to accommodate the implant.
A major factor of the final look and feel of your implants are where they are placed in the breast pocket. Dr. Ditesheim offers four placement options: Under the pectoralis muscle (submuscular placement), Over the chest muscle, under breast tissue (subglandular placement), Partially underneath the muscle (dual plane placement), Under the fascia. The method used during your unique breast implant surgery depends on your desired results and Dr. Ditesheim’s recommendation. If saline implants are used, they can be filled with saline after the implants are placed in the correct location.
This technique includes placement of the implant partially under the pectoralis major chest muscle
In this technique breast implant is positioned between the existing breast tissue areas and the chest muscle.

It’s important to understand that picking out the right implant isn’t just about increasing total cup size. It’s about creating an ideal aesthetic shape based on each individual’s personal goals and current anatomy. Dr. Ditesheim’s unique sizing process allows patients interested in breast augmentation to experience different sizes and shapes of implants to see how they might prefer one or the other. He trusts those who come in for a consultation to know in general what’s right for their goals, and he’ll recommend the surgical techniques to help them achieve it.
Saline implants are less expensive than silicone ones and are FDA-approved for cosmetic use in women 18 and older. Since the implants are inserted empty and filled after placement, women who opt for saline implants typically have smaller scars. Filling after placement also allows for more precisely symmetrical results, particularly in women with significant asymmetry prior to surgery. Although saline implants can sometimes show visible surface rippling or wrinkles, they remain a cost-effective choice that can deliver beautiful results in the right candidate.
Silicone gel implants are FDA-approved for cosmetic use in women 22 and older and are currently the more popular choice for breast augmentation among breast augmentation patients in Charlotte. Filled with a thick silicone gel that has a jelly-like texture, silicone implants won’t wrinkle, and the contents are designed to stay in place even in the unlikely event of a breach in the outer implant shell.
Gummy bear implants offer a third choice for women seeking breast augmentation procedures from plastic surgeons. A different type of silicone implant, the form-stable silicone gel in gummy bear implants is firm yet soft, much like the gummy candies they’re nicknamed after.

Yes, it is possible to combine breast augmentation with other cosmetic procedures, depending on your individual goals and health considerations. Some common combinations include: Breast Lift (Mastopexy), Tummy Tuck (Abdominoplasty), Liposuction and Mommy Makeover. It’s essential to consult with a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon to discuss your specific goals, assess your overall health, and determine the best combination of procedures for you. Combining surgeries can offer comprehensive results and may reduce overall recovery time compared to having multiple separate procedures.
