Periareolar incision vs inframammary incision?

Polite812765Dec 4, 2020

My doctor told me that a periareolar incision work work better for me than a inframammary incision because my breast have a natural "droop" (not saggy). I've searched online to find that information but I just don't see it. I would prefer inframammary to decrease risk of capsular contraction and he did say he'd to that if I wanted to, but I just want the best result. Any insight?

If you are ok with your breast while lying on your back, then nothing needs to be done. If 'you' wish them fuller while lying down, breast implants would be a possible solution. If that is your desire then I recommend consultation with a plastic surgeon to be measured and discuss your goals....
