The endoscopic breast augmentation procedure, offered at the Milwaukee practice of Dr. Robert Whitfield, is considered a minimally invasive technique and typically results in minor bleeding and scarring. Making a small incision in the patient's armpit, Dr. Whitfield uses an endoscope (a small tube with a camera at the end) to slide a folded implant into position under the breast (depending on the patient, either under the muscle or under the breast tissue itself). The implant is then filled with a saline solution to the desired size and the tube is removed. The incision for the implant is very small, as the implant is empty when it is placed under the breast, and the incision is hidden in the crease of the armpit. More traditional forms of breast augmentation typically require that the implant be placed into an incision around the nipple or at the base of the breast, and can result in more conspicuous scarring and post-operative pain. Risks of endoscopic breast augmentation include a high capsular contraction rate as well as implant malposition.
Dr. Robert Whitfield believes that the endoscopic technique has numerous benefits and is the right procedure for his patients. If you are interested in getting breast implants in the Milwaukee or Madison area, contact Dr. Whitfield today.
Unfortunately, some breast augmentation procedures can end in complications that arise from defective breast implants or poor implant placement. Women who have experienced complications with their breast implants may be good candidates for revision breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Whitfield can remove old breast implants that have caused complications due to a leak or other fault with newer, safer silicone or saline breast implants. For women in the Milwaukee and Madison area who are experiencing complications with their breast implants, revision surgery often proves to be greatly beneficial. Not only can the removal or replacement of old breast implants improve the aesthetics of the chest, but perhaps more importantly, revision breast augmentation can also relieve pain from such complications as capsular contracture and the improper positioning of a breast implant. At the cosmetic surgery practice of Dr. Robert Whitfield, you can rest assured that he will perform your procedure with care and due diligence. If you are suffering complications from your breast implants, including wrinkling of the implant under the skin, folding of the implant, leakage, improper positioning, an unnatural appearance, or excessive scarring, then revision breast augmentation may be right for you.
