You might say to me well why would I choose one over another? To some degree it’s a matter of one whether you can put up with moving the smooth implant around. Two it’s also a matter of just the look you’re after. If I was to put two implants the same size, one textured one smooth same shape everything in your breast and get you to stand there and take a photograph we wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. If however we were to get you to do something a little kinky and jump up and down on a trampoline with your top off then we would see a difference. This textured implant would tend to bounce around a little bit, jiggle around, whereas the smooth implant would tend to bounce up and down just a whole lot more.

Incision under the arm or the one around the nipple we do essentially the same operation. Sometimes it’s preferable to use a certain incision in a certain person, sometimes it’s actually necessary to do that, it really just depends on you. What we’re really trying to do is individualize this operation to get the best result for you. And in the end it comes down to, apart from we’re going to use a shaped implant it comes down to your personal preference. Each of them has advantages and disadvantages. Through the armpit what we do is we use an endoscope, which is a bit like the laparoscopic sort of surgery, things like keyhole surgery to take out gallbladders, that sort of thing. With a TV screen and a camera and long instruments we’re able to go up through the armpit and do exactly the same operation that we would do through the other cuts. So it’s an excellent way to do things and one just ends up with a little scar that looks a little bit like a crease up in the armpit. Yeah perfect.

At the initial consultation a fitting will take place where various implant sizes are placed into a garment in order to assist Dr. Layt and the clinical staff to help you decide on the final size of the implant. So what I’ll get you to do now is to simply put your top on and this will show you how you’ll fill out in your clothing, so it’ll give you a really good idea on what that size is gonna look like.
