Breast Augmentation Procedure Information
Dr. Aker and Dr. Beckman are your Indianapolis breast augmentation specialist. We offer two techniques: our Hidden Scar Breast Augmentation procedure that leaves absolutely no scar on your breasts or Inframammary Fold (IMF) Technique! My Plastic Surgery Group has done over thousands of breast augmentation procedures in Indianapolis and Carmel in the past 20+ years and we would like to be a part of this journey with you.
More and more each year, women, both in Indiana and elsewhere, choose breast enlargement surgery. Annually, over 400,000 breast surgeries are performed nationally. At My Plastic Surgery Group we know that choosing to give yourself the curves you desire is not always about vanity. Often, it is about fulfilling a reasonable, logical desire to be satisfied with the way you look. It is not uncommon to want to look as good as you feel and it is also not impossible thanks to breast augmentation surgery.
Breast Implant Options
Patients have a number of options when it comes to getting the best breast implants for their aesthetic goals. In terms of type, patients can choose between saline breast implants and silicone gel breast implants. Each filler material provides its own benefits and drawbacks in terms of feel, safety, and several other factors.
Hidden Scar Breast Augmentation or Endoscopic Breast Augmentation (endo aug)
Hidden Scar Breast Augmentation, also known as Endoscopic Breast Augmentation, surgery is a brief surgical procedure done under general anesthesia. During this breast augmentation procedure, a small incision is made in a fold in the armpit area. Then, an endoscope, which is a lighted tube that has a video camera attached, is used to create a pocket for the implant underneath the chest muscles. The endoscope allows our surgeons to see better so that the pocket is created more accurately. This pocket can be either directly behind the breast tissue or behind the pectoral muscle which is behind the breast tissue. Dr. Aker all prefer to place the implant behind the pectoral muscle to give you the most natural look possible. The upper breast will then have a more natural slope and graceful appearance. What you are left with is a round breast that looks very natural. Most of the time it is extremely difficult to see the armpit scar after it is healed and faded. Because the implant was inserted through the armpit there is no scar left on the breasts at all. This procedure was brought to Indiana and the Indianapolis and Carmel region by Dr. Aker in 1996. Our practice has performed over thousands of endoscopic breast augmentations. Although practiced frequently on the east and west coasts, we have the most experience with this technique in the Midwest.
Peri-areolar and Inframammary Breast Augmentation
In Indiana, the most common incision sites for breast augmentation are around the lower edge of the areola (peri-areolar) and in the fold below the breast (infra-mammary fold). These locations work well for most surgeons, allowing direct access to the breast tissue and muscle. These techniques also place the implants directly behind the breast tissue or behind the pectoral muscle which is behind the breast tissue. Again, the surgeons at My Plastic Surgery Group prefer to place the implant behind the pectoral muscle to give the most natural-looking breasts possible.
Inframammary Breast Augmentation
The inframammary fold (IMF) technique is one of the most common and trusted approaches for breast augmentation. In this method, the implant is placed through a small incision made in the natural crease beneath the breast—called the inframammary fold.
This technique allows for excellent control over implant placement and symmetry, often leading to more precise and natural-looking results. It’s suitable for both saline and silicone implants and provides the surgeon direct access to the breast pocket, minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.
The IMF incision typically heals well and is easily concealed beneath the breast, even in swimwear or lingerie. Many patients appreciate the balance of a discreet scar with the ability to achieve a smooth, elegant contour.

Frequently Asked Questions
For less physical job requirements, 3-5 days, and for more physical job requirements, 5-7 days.
It has never been shown that having implants delays the diagnosis of breast cancer. However, a mammographer can lose the ability to see a small amount of breast tissue more often when the implant is on top of the muscle. It may require additional views to be taken.
If the endoscopic technique is used, there will be no scar on the breast at all. Over time, the armpit scar fades and is typically not very noticeable. With standard breast augmentation, there would be scars visible on the breast but these would fade over time.
Yes, it is safe to breast feed. Having surgery does not prevent or reduce the ability to breast feed. However, if you’ve never nursed before surgery, we are unable to know if you are biologically endowed to breast feed.
It is common to feel a slight “crinkly” sensation along the breast fold where the implant comes closest to the surface. In very slender women there may be visible wrinkling on the skin surface, more commonly observed with saline than with gel implants, and variable in location.
Limited breast sagging is frequently corrected by breast augmentation. A breast lift may be required for greater degrees of sagging.
Common short term problems include temporary changes in nipple sensation. A very temporary tight sensation in the armpit sometimes occurs when the endoscopic technique is performed. The most common long-term problem is failure, or rupture, of the implant with an average device lifespan ranging from 10-15 years. This occurrence is not in any way painful or harmful to a woman´s health.
