Question about breast augmentation.

[NurgBlitz]

Well, I've always kind of wondered this, but why is it for some reason necessary for tgirls nipples to have to be cut during breast augmentation? It seems that soooo many tgirls I see have visible scar tissue around that area, yet for some reason most other women only need to have the type where they go in from underneath or to the side of the breast.

I considered it for a while, and I figured that it must be a difference in starting size and finish size. As in, if a woman wanted to go from a C to a D, she could simply go for the through-the-side method; but if she wanted to go from an A to a D, would that somehow necessitate surgery on the nipples?

Anyway, there's always the possibility that I'm just out of my mind and all breast augmentation surgeries require this, but it's mostly just something I've always wanted to ask.

[meghanchavalier]

All doctors are differen't in the way they do implants. The newest is to go through the armpit which is faster and normally scarless. I did it twice through the nipple and once through the side underneath. You just have to decide which way you want it and which doctor will do it that way. Hope that helps.

[NYTSJulie]

I agree and can see the visible scar also, and honestly always wondered the same thing your asking? If the scar looks so poor why do most girls keep having implants done through this technique?

I am not 100 percent sure, but what I heard is that males have different muscling through the chest area. Due to this muscling, you can get what is know as the "double bubble", so placement of the implant is very important. The "double bubble" is when the implant settles and your pectoral muscle stands above the implant making it look like you have 4 tits instead of 2, lol. The "double bubble" most often happens from entering under the breast and placing the implant through this technique, because the implant is a placed a little lower.

So when you enter through the nipple the chances of getting the double bubble are slim, but you get that awful scar and the skin looks and feels so tight you could bounce a quarter off some of these girls tits.

I have had my breast done 3 times and each time through an incision underneath in the fold of my breast. I got the double bubble the first 2 times. The 3rd they turned out perfect and I couldn't be happier today. They feel very soft and are very bouncy (unlike most implant).

very true, scarring can be terrible when dont thru the nipple. thats atually where i got my incision but the doctor did a great job and even while smokin (which can really slow the healing process and darken scars) i hardly have any visible scarring. I have to say tho, that the thought of getting implants done thru the bellybutto frightens me terribly. Also with incision in the under arm area i was so scared that the breasts would have a huge gap in between. After talking with my doctor i took a lot into consideration when making my choice of incision. Most doctors have more experience performing the operation thru the nipple, guiding the implant into place is simpler, and more likely to have a better outcome, plus the length of surgeryh time/loss of blood... etc. i had one nipple which was much bigger than the other so it was pretty obvious what my decision would be. She plopped in the titty and removed some or my right aereola to make it match my left. I dont know if many other girls hd the same issue, but that was mine. Im thinking of going bigger and i think im gonna go thru the nipple again, but scarring is definately a concern for me now. i lucked out once already i dont wanna play russian roulette now!

1/Why is it that most Thai tgirls get underarm boob jobs. Whilst most T-girls from Latin America get the chest slice? Is the reason money; aestetics; etc?

2/I'm just curious. Which proceedure is more expensive. Underarm; chest bone slice; or nipple?

3/I agree, that underarm is best looking. But disagree that the nipple cut looks less attrative. The nipple cut's scar is hidden as it contours into natural curve of the nipple.

Whilst slicing the chest leaves a large visible telephone-cut under the breasts, which cannot contour into anything.

Men don't like the chest slice.

[NYTSJulie]

I had all my boob jobs done from an incision under my breast. The scar is so fine and small you cant even see it. It is flat so the texture is fine, then I put vitamin E oil on it. Now you cant even see it.

Hi Julie - I'm planning to get implants soon, hopefully DD's - and I thought I'd done my homework... but this is the first I've heard of the double bubble.

Can you tell me, were your implants put under the muscle or not? And woudl that make a difference in the risk of a dbl bbl?

And what if anything did the Dr. do different to avoid it a third time?

Thanks for your suggestions.

- And yeah, I know guys you don't want me to get implants but I'm gonna do it anyway... :-)

[lostinasia]

Actually the newest method is not all that new and has other complications, risks, and technical difficulties...

The way is to actually make only a single incision within, around the circumference of the ambilicus (belly button). It's more complicated of course, and you can insert only small silicone's - but more effective to use inflatable saline's ... doctors are still becoming proficient ... but So much MORE attractive in the end (scar wise) ... but I hate, hate implants anyway

[TopHeavyCutie]

Breast Augmentation has gotten REALLY better over the years. LOTS of new techniques and approaches that have really helped to better the process. Some Plastic Surgeons use different incision sites to help better agree with the patients wants and needs. Most T girls seem to get really small breast implants. The peri-aeriola aprroach is fine for this. Especially if going the saline route. The saline implant can be drained, rolled tightly and inserted and filled again. This is fine. Leaving VERY little scarring.Which is what most ladies want. But for the daring like myself, for which whom require BIGGER implants have to go alternate routes. Like myself for exmaple. I have had 2 Breast Augmentations and currently planning my third.

The First time, (5/12/06)

I went for 440cc o/f to 460cc Saline,Anatomical,Textured, Under the mucle, w/ Crease Incision.
A failry large implant for considering the amount of saline. I didnt choose to go through the nipple in fear of losing nipple sensation. And I made that very clear to my PS. But I would NEVER go against what my PS reccomends. After all he is the "PROFESSIONAL"

Pre BA: 36AAA
Post BA: 36 Mid C

The Second time (5/15/07)

I opted for 800cc SILICONE,Round,Smooth,High Profile,Under the mucle,w/Crease incision. And I am absolutely glad I made the choice. VERY soft 3 weeks out unlike my saline. they jiggle and wiggle when I walk...lol I dont think I will ever get over that good feeling. At night when i sleep they go everywhich way but loose...hehehehe, but never the less a VERY LARGE implant. So large, that the peri- aeriola approach would not be appropriate. So Crease or an under the fold incision would be best. And unlike saline...... ALL silicone implants, They come pre-filled. and there is no draining and re-filling. One of the reasons Sili costs so much more than Saline.

Pre BA: 36 Full C
Post BA: 36DD/E (Small E)

The third time (??/??/????) I hope......1000 - 1100cc !

I dunno though. Have a LOT of thinking to do. I REALLY love my silicone. But 850cc is high as it goes when it comes to sili. Saline on the other hand can be over filled and my goal met. Then warrenty VOIDED!!!

Pre BA: 36DD
Post BA: 36 FULL E/ (Small F) I HOPE!



In conclusion, Many girls go different routes for different reasons. There is not set standerd. There is...... but there isn't......If that makes sense.


DECISIONS DECISIONS DECISIONS!!!!!!! 8)

[peggygee]

I just woke up, and see that we are talking about breast augmentation.
I'm not fully awake, and haven't had my cup of tea yet, so my
contribution to the the discussion is from a previous post:

There are a number of variables that will impact your recovery time, and
your degree of discomfort, and overall results.

1. How the surgery is performed;

The method of inserting and positioning your implant will depend on your
anatomy and your surgeon's recommendation. The incision can be made
either in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola
(the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or in the armpit.

In addition, a saline implant may be placed through an incision at the
navel. This is known as the TUBA (Transumbilical Breast Augmentation)

As a woman of color, I am particularly mindful of the incision site,
as I am prone to keloiding. My BA incision site was in the armpit, and
there was minimal scarring.

2. Your pain threshold;

Different people have different levels of pain tolerance. But overall, you
should be back on your feet in a day or so. And you should be able to
return to work or school in about 3 days, unless your work is of a
particularly physically taxing nature. Ideally, try to have the BA done
over a three day weekend.

As to the proper size, that would be a decision best left to you and your
surgeon. All 5"6', 100 lb women do not have the same frame size, nor
do all of them have the same aesthetic result in mind.

As a caveat to any transwoman reading this, I would strongly suggest that
you have some adipose tissue generated by HRT before having a breast
augmentation done.

You will in all likelihood be very displeased if you were to have a BA on
a 'boy' chest. The results will be very obvious to you and others that there
is something unnatural about your breasts.

Finally, unless your intentions are to work in the adult entertainment
industry I would lean to to a size that is appropriate for your height,
weight, and race.

Jamie,

Yes mine are under the muscle. Personally I think it’s the best way to go. I wanted mine to look and feel natural. I had them done through a crease incision. I think you can get the best placement and in return have the most natural look through this technique, if they are done correctly. Therefore I would never go with a nipple incision, the belly button or the underarm.

The first set I had looked great for about the 1st 2 months. Then they dropped or settled in and settled too low. The implant always starts out higher and falls in place a month or so after surgery. I was living in MN at the time. The cost was $4,800.00 for the breasts, then I also a fat graft done to my upper lip at the same time. All afforded thanks to my sugar daddy at the time, lol. He was interesting guy lol, picture Uncle Jesse for the old show The Dukes of Hazards. He was this simple guy who lived up North in MN, a country guy. He just inherited a few million dollars and being so small town and simple, he didn’t know what to do with it. Long story short I felt obligated to help figure out where to put his money to good use.

The doctor I chose I thought was good. He did a few of my friend’s boobs all around the same time. They all had the same results, over time their implants bottomed out also. After living with the double bubble for about a yr I went in to have them redone. I went to him again and he promised that they would turn out better this time around. I had a good friend at the time who was a stripper, a GG. She had these beach ball super fake looking tits, and I liked the look. So I told him I wanted them bigger and I wanted them to have a real fake look to them, the super rounded look. They were 36DDD and I am tall but have a smaller frame. They were too big for my body and if I wore anything loose they just made me look fat. That set bottomed out also, it took a lot longer this time, about 6 months.

Then I decided to go with another doctor when I went in for my 3rd set. It was actually his associate. He had done a few things on my on my face before so I already had a repor with him. He kind of had a thing for me. He never came out and said it but he would talk to me and put his hand on my knee and tell me how attractive I was and all that stuff. So he told me (with his hand on my knee lol) that he would take good care of me, and he would do my implants at cost. He only charged me the cost of the implants themselves. I forget what it was, maybe 1,500.00 or so? That is the set I have now, and they are perfect. Look and feel wonderful. I get told all the time by guys and clients “I can’t believe these are implants”, so with that said I achieved my boob goal, lol.

If I were to ever have them done again I might go a little smaller, and if I did I would fly back to MN and go back to him. I am between a 36D and DD now. They are large and because of the size it’s hard to find clothes that fit properly. Yes I am an escort but I don’t dress like one in my day to day life, lol. If I want to buy something button down I have to buy a something larger than normal, then it’s too big in my waist area.

Ok I wrote a book, lol. I just had some dental work done and am high on pain pills and am starting to ramble…………..kiss kiss….Julie

[mikejones]

Wow! Enjoyed that post Julie. Erotic.

[NYTSJulie]

Also a friend of mine just had hers done by Dr. Menard in Canada, the one who does SRS. Hers look horrid. They are so far apart you could throw a football between them and talk about double bubble. It all depends on the surgeon.

if i were u julie id leave my tits alone....theyre some assets...u should be proud!

[JANIRA]

I actually had a difficult time when i did my breasts, It was difficult beacause the hormones never gave me any flesh or (knots) as we say. It gave me shape and other femmeine attributes , but as far as my breast were involved "Nothing" When i went to go see the plastic surgen,, i had in mind what size i wanted ,, which was a "C" cup.. but unfortunately i had to settle for a"B+" , he said if i was going to get a c they woud look very odd and bad. Also due to my small nipples he had to insert them through my armpits, which was great, cause no visable scarring. Am i happy with the results,, now, "yes" but when i got them 7 years ago, i was very depressed for a at least 7 months, and he warned me,, they are not going to look the way you want right away. they will fall into place,, and hes right they did.

Hi Julie - thank you so much for your detailed comments. It helps me and I'm sure will help others.

And yes, I agree with the football look - or the ones that make your nipples stick out to the sides. That is what scares me. I've heard that is more prevelant with the armpit insertion.

I'm pretty much sold on the under the breast incision - done correctly and your comments pretty much confirm it.

Especially as I want to go as large as I can carry without a stretched look. I want DD's - from a large B. Definately silicone.

Hugs,
TS Jamie :-)

[KiraHarden]

I had mine inserted thru the armpit, but under the muscle, I didnt want any visable scar on my breasts. I had difficulties finding a Dr in Milwaukee that I trusted for the Procedure, so I had them done in Dayton OH. I love the way they look and feel, but they still havent dropped. I had them done june 06( 850cc R and 900 L) from a A cup to DDD.

[Night Rider]

Julie, they're the most real looking set of tits I've ever seen, ts or not. You make Posh Spice look like she's smuggling grapefruits!

[Rui]

one thing I notice is that when some girls get implants, they just look like half balls glued to a flat chest,they dont even sag an inch.

that can be very unnatural and unappealing, and I always thought that could be solved by inserting a larger implant and after the muscle and skin had stretched replacing the implant with the desired size, giving a more natural look.

has anyone heard of this?

Glad it all worked out... BTW, a lot of plastic surgeons don't work on smokers as their healing can be wacked... Hope that cigar is a prop.
