Also, what's the research data regarding scarring in hispanic/latino women? Anything that specifies the best outcomes as far as incisions within this population? Also capsular contracture, does it occur more often with periareolar incisions? What patient population is it most prominent to occur?

Answer: Peri-areolar vs inframammary incision? While there are advantages and disadvantages to both types of incisions, both incisions provide direct access with good visualization for proper placement of the breast implant for the surgeon. Typically, the peri-areolar incision has a slightly higher rate of capsular contracture and change in nipple sensation; however, the scar is usually well-camoflagued in women who have a distinct change in skin tone between the areola and skin. The inframammary incision is typically well-hidden at the inframammary fold. In terms of scarring, the only way to know how you will heal is based on the appearance of your scars from previous procedures. I would recommend that you consult with a board certified plastic surgeon to discuss which option is best for you. Good luck!

Answer: Periarealar vs inframamary incision Hello, I'm Dr Matos from the Dominican Republic, the best is the periareolar incision, because leave a better scar and give to us a best way to introduce the implants, the capsular contracture doesn't have relationship with the way that we used for introduce the implants, and the patients either, if it related with the place where we put the implants, it's more comun if we put the implants behind of the glands, that's why i recomend put the implants behind the muscle.
