Answer: Breast Augmentation Incisions There are currently three incisions used for breast augmentation surgery. These include the peri-areolar, trans-axillary and inframammary approaches. All three of these incisions have advantages and disadvantages when used for this procedure.When choosing an incision, most women's primary concern is scarring. All three incisions are associated with scarring to some degree, but the impact of this scarring is dependent upon the patient's lifestyle. For this reason, the incision should be based on the individual patient's needs. For instance, a trans-axillary approach might result in a highly visible scar in a sand volleyball player who brings her arms over her head and, therefore, may not be the best option in this patient.In the majority of patients, we prefer an inframammary approach. This incision is nicely hidden when wearing most types of clothing. In addition, it releases the muscles from the chest wall along the inframammary fold which allows for a more natural look.The choice of incision in most cases is decided by anatomic findings in combination with personal lifestyle choices. For these reasons, it's important to thoroughly discuss this issue with your plastic surgeon prior to surgery.

Answer: What Would Determine Nipple Incision Vs. Under Breast Vs. Armpit Preference for a Person? Thank you for the question. There are several good approaches to breast augmentation surgery; different surgeons will have their own preferences. In my practice, I prefer the inframammary or infrareolar approach for most patients. Despite what you may hear, I think most patients can have the infraareola incision used regardless of the size of breast implants or size of areola. The Keller funnel has made the insertion of all sizes of breast implants much easier. I think of the funnel has also made it easier to perform a true "no touch" technique ( potentially decreasing the incidence of breast implant encapsulation). Personally, I think the advantages of the infraareolar incision far outweigh any theoretical disadvantages. These advantages include proximity to the planned dual plane submuscular pocket dissection, relatively hidden/forgiving location of scarring, coverage by clothing/swimming suit etc.Best wishes.
