Breast Implant Incisions

Inframammary Fold Incision

This is the most common incision for breast augmentation because the scar is essentially hidden underneath the breast near the crease. You do not see it when looking in the mirror and it is hidden underneath all clothes, bras and bikinis. Great access and results from this incisions.

Infraareolar incision

Hidden along the color change and curve of the lower areola. Can be a very discreet scar in some patients. If it doesn’t heal well, then can be visible in a mirror. Slightly higher risk of infection and capsular contracture since dissecting near the breast ducts.

Umbilical Incision

Well hidden along the curve of the upper belly button. Also called the Scarless Breast Augmentation since there are no breast incisions. Can only be performed with saline implants.

Axillary Incision

Potentially the most visible incision if it doesn’t heal well since can be seen with tank tops.
