Breast Enlargement
Dr. Loomis usually performs a breast enlargement, or augmentation, endoscopically through a small incision in the axilla, though he can also place the implants through an incision along the edge of the areola. The type of breast enlargement used depends upon the patient's anatomy and preference.

When breast enlargements are performed endoscopically through the axilla it avoids scars on the breast and dissection through breast tissue allowing for a very accurate release of the chest muscle while minimizing trauma to the breast itself. Dr. Loomis always places the breast implants under the muscle because he feels this provides for a more naturally appearing breast augmentation with greater camouflage of the implant. In addition, with a controlled release of the lower edge of the muscle, a sling of muscular support can be maintained which helps keep the position of the implant stable over the long term. This release is also what provides for the naturally rounded inferior pole of the breast and a relatively flatter upper pole. Without this accurate release, an overly full upper pole of the breast can be produced. This unnatural appearance of an overly rounded upper breast is a telltale sign of a breast augmentation, and a look most patients want to avoid.
While silicone-filled implants are available and Dr. Loomis is qualified to implant them, he has some concerns regarding capsular contraction and difficulties following rupture. He can discuss such issues of the silicone implant option, as well as the recent progress made with fat graft breast enlargements during your consultation.
