How is the releasing of lower pole constriction for tuberous breasts actually performed?

Most specifically, where is the incision made to perform the scoring? If the candidate has large areola (e.g. 2.5in diameter) could this potentially be performed through a periareola incision to release the lower pole? I'm curious if there are some cases where it is possible to correct tuberous breasts with only a periareola scar, or whether an inframammary crease is usually needed too after areola correction.
