Breast Incision Options

During the planning stages, you and Dr. Gupta will work together to select the incision option that will achieve your desired look with minimal scarring. The most common approaches include an inframammary incision (placed in the natural crease beneath the breast), a periareolar incision (along the border of the areola), and a transaxillary incision (hidden within the natural fold of the underarm). The inframammary incision is the most frequently used because it allows for precise implant placement and is well hidden in the natural breast fold.

It’s ideal for patients who want predictable control over implant symmetry and minimal disruption to the breast tissue. The periareolar incision blends naturally with your body’s natural pigment, making it a very discreet option.

However, it’s not an ideal approach for larger implants. Finally, the transaxillary incision is best for patients who have good tissue elasticity so that Dr. Gupta can effectively position the implant through the armpit.

Selecting Your Implant Placement

Dr. Gupta offers two main implant placement options: subglandular (above the muscle) and submuscular (beneath the muscle).

With subglandular placement, the implant sits directly behind the breast tissue. This provides a fuller look and shorter recovery time. It’s an excellent choice for patients with sufficient natural breast tissue to cover the implant.

Submuscular placement positions the implant beneath the chest muscle. This creates a more natural slope, reduces your risk of visible rippling, and ensures easier imaging of the breast for future cancer screenings. Dr. Gupta recommends this approach for women with less breast tissue or those who want the most natural feel.

Your Personalized Consultation

Dr. Gupta is known for his unusually thorough consultations. Using drawings, models, and clear explanations, he ensures that you understand every aspect of the procedure. Unlike practices where patients meet multiple providers, you’ll meet directly with Dr. Gupta throughout your breast augmentation journey, from your first visit through your final follow-up appointment.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. To begin, Dr. Gupta will create discreet incisions beneath the breast and/or around the areola to minimize visible scarring.

Throughout the procedure, Dr. Gupta calls upon his reconstructive expertise to ensure that your placed implants create a natural slope and shape. During pre-surgery planning, he will guide you in selecting the implant size, shape, and material that will deliver the most harmonious and balanced outcomes.

Recovery and Results

Most patients can return to work and light activities one week after their breast augmentation. However, your full recovery can take several weeks. Your final results will emerge in several months, once all post-surgical swelling has subsided. Dr. Gupta’s meticulous surgical technique ensures that your results will endure beautifully for many years to come.

Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

How long will my breast implants last?

While breast implants endure for a very long time, they are not lifetime devices. Many women enjoy their results for 15 to 20 years or longer. Dr. Gupta recommends periodic checkups and imaging to monitor the integrity of your implant and your overall breast health.

How does Dr. Gupta ensure natural breast augmentation results?

During surgery, he prioritizes proportion, contour, and symmetry to achieve results that look and feel natural. He calls upon his reconstructive expertise when blending surgical precision with aesthetic artistry, so your enhancement feels authentically you.

How do I know what implant size or shape is right for me?

Dr. Gupta uses a personalized approach to sizing. During your consultation in San Diego or Encinitas, you’ll try on sizers and review examples that match your anatomy and goals. He focuses on creating a balanced, proportionate look—not just a larger size—so your results feel natural and fit your frame beautifully.

Will breast augmentation affect nipple sensation?

Some temporary sensitivity changes are normal after surgery, especially in the first few weeks. Your sensation will typically return as healing progresses. Dr. Gupta’s careful surgical technique helps preserve nerve pathways and minimize long-term changes.
