Every woman’s body, goals, and definition of beauty are unique. Breast augmentation at Wang Plastic Surgery reflects that individuality. Rather than relying on a single technique, each procedure is customized to enhance balance, proportion, and confidence.
Why Customization Matters
Every patient’s anatomy, proportions, and aesthetic goals are different. By tailoring incision placement, implant type, and positioning, Dr. Wang creates results that complement the individual rather than follow a one-size-fits-all formula. This thoughtful, customized approach helps achieve balance, comfort, and confidence that look and feel natural.
What to Expect During Your Consultation with Dr. Wang
During your private consultation, Dr. Wang will take detailed measurements, discuss your goals, and review implant options that align with your lifestyle. He uses advanced imaging tools and clear communication to help you visualize outcomes and make informed decisions with confidence.
Choosing Your Incision Placement
There are several effective ways to create the incision for implant placement. Dr. Wang reviews the benefits of each option during your consultation and recommends the approach that best fits your anatomy and preferences.
Transaxillary (underarm incision)
The incision is placed within the natural crease of the armpit. This option leaves no scar on the breast. Future breast procedures would require a separate incision.
Inframammary (breast crease)
The incision follows the natural fold beneath the breast. This method provides direct access for precise implant placement and can be reused for future surgeries.
Periareolar (areola border)
The incision follows the lower edge of the areola and provides excellent access for fine adjustments. It also allows for a combined breast lift in the future if desired.
Transumbilical (TUBA)
The incision is placed at the edge of the belly button, leaving no scar on the breast itself. This technique is appropriate for select cases.
Implant Placement: Above or Below the Muscle
Dr. Wang determines implant placement based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and desired look. Each method offers distinct benefits.
Subglandular / Subfascial (above the muscle)
Placement above the chest muscle allows for a shorter recovery and avoids interference with mammograms. The subfascial approach positions the implant just beneath the thin layer of fascia that covers the muscle, providing additional support and a smooth, natural contour.
Subpectoral / Dual Plane (under the muscle)
Placement beneath the muscle, also known as the dual plane technique, provides more tissue coverage over the implant and often achieves the softest, most natural appearance. Recovery may take slightly longer, but many patients find the long-term results well worth it.
Choosing the Right Breast Implant
Dr. Wang offers both saline and silicone gel implants in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and profiles. Factors such as your skin elasticity, breast tissue, and chest wall dimensions all help determine the best choice for you.
- Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and can provide flexibility during placement.
- Silicone gel implants are filled with a cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue.
- Motiva implants® represent the newest generation of cohesive gel technology, offering a remarkably soft feel, durable design, and natural movement.
During your consultation, Dr. Wang explains the advantages of each option and guides you toward the implant that best complements your body and goals.
Making Confident Decisions
Your breast augmentation is a deeply personal decision, and every detail matters. Dr. Wang’s experience and patient-focused approach ensure that you’re fully informed, comfortable, and confident every step of the way.
