Breast augmentation
Breasts are a symbol of feminine identity. A woman must love her breast and feel attractive.
The breast aesthetic surgery can answer to women’s expectations by correcting the imperfections of their breasts so they can reclaim their femininity.
Breast augmentation surgery aims to provide more fullness and projection to the overall contour of the female breast. An operation that can be done by prosthesis or by breast implants and offers a natural and lasting effect adapted to the morphology of each patient. Only small and very discreet incisions will be noticed after the surgery.
THE PROCESS How is breast augmentation surgery performed?
During your consultation at our office, you will discuss with Dr. Durand different options for this procedure. Dr. Durand will be able to determine the best course of action and how to perform your breast augmentation.
Where are the breast implants placed?
There are three different placements for breast implants: under the muscle, over the muscle, and a dual-plane technique.
‘Under the muscle’ is the preferred location for the implant as it generally results in a more stable implant that is less likely to cause complications like breast sagging (ptosis). It is also associated with more natural-looking surgical results.
Incision techniques
There are several different incision techniques for Breast Augmentation procedure with Implants:
- Transaxillary: The incision for the transaxillary procedure is made in your armpit, which is ideal for patients who scar easily or develop keloids post-surgery.
- Inframammary: This method allows the most optimal approach, as the surgeon has the most direct path. The incision is made under the breast or along the breast fold, giving your surgeon the most direct route. Most breast implants are performed by way of the inframammary technique.
- Periareolar: The incision for this technique is made around the areola to help reduce the visibility of the scars. This procedure will only work successfully with smaller implant sizes, so it may not be suitable for everyone. Additionally, there is a higher risk of losing sensitivity around the nipples.

There are two main types of breast implants available to plastic surgery patients in Montreal. These options give women important choices about how their breasts will look and feel after their surgery. Each option comes in different sizes, and one in different shapes, to provide women an even greater opportunity to personalise their results. You will explore these two different types of breast implants with Dr. Durand so you can begin thinking about the kinds of results you want post-surgery.
Silicone implants
The silicone implant is a more recent development in the world of breast augmentation. These implants have been championed over their saline predecessors thanks to the more natural and realistic look they achieve for the breasts. Dr Durand and his team strongly favour silicone implants over saline versions.
The silicone material inside the outer shell poses minimal risk of harm to the patient, like saline water, and the risk of rupture of the shell is also very low. In the event of rupturing or damage, the silicone may leak out into the scar tissue capsule immediately surrounding the implant, but this is rare. Most patients experience no problems with their silicone breast implants.
Saline implants
A saline implant is made up of a lightweight silicone shell filled with saline water — water with a high salt content that has been sterilised. For many years, saline implants were the primary type of implant for breast augmentation in Montreal. However, in recent years, they have been overtaken in popularity by their silicone counterparts.
Saline implants tend to lack the realism and the naturalness of silicone implants, although high-quality results can still be achieved. In the event of rupturing or damage to the implant, the saline water is simply absorbed into the breast tissue with no potential harm to the patient.
