3 Common Breast Augmentation Incisions

There are many factors to consider when choosing a breast augmentation.  Many patients focus on the size, shape and type of  implant (which are very important factors) - but often the patient does not consider the incision technique. There are 3 common incision sites;  within the breast fold (inframammary), around the nipple (periareolar) or under the arm (transaxillary).  

An experienced breast augmentation surgeon should be able to discuss in detail each procedure and recommend the best option for your particular situation.  Here is a brief description of each:

1. Inframammary - This is a very common incision that is made in the fold of the skin underneath the breast.  Most surgeons would agree that this is the ideal method for providing symmetry. However the scar is more visible than periareolar or transaxillary. 
2. Periareolar - This incision is made around the nipple and is typically the most discreet incision. When performed by an experienced breast augmentation surgeon, the incision should be nearly undetectable after it has completely healed. 
3. Transaxillary - This incision is made under the arm.  Many patients prefer this method because there is ZERO scarring on or around the breasts.  

During a FREE consultation with Dr. Bailey, you can learn more about the different incision options and which incision suits your specific case best.
