Inframammary Incision Showing Above Fold

It is normal and actually desireable for the incision to rise slightly above the natural crease. However, if it tends to do this by more than 2 cm, or seems to be getting worse after the intial 9 moth post-operative period, it may be a sign of bottoming out.

In my experience virtually all inframammary fold incision scars migrate up the implant or rather the implant migrates below it. That is why I currently prefer an incision around the areola.

The final position of the incision can be in three spots, bleow the fold, at the fold, or just above the fold.  Above the fold means that the scar will be hidden in a bra.

This is actually good so when you wear a bathing suit the incision will not lie below the bathing suit line.also this is good from the standpoint of putting pressure on the incision so the scar can improve.

As noted by another colleague here it is preferable to be slightly above the fold. The main reason for this is your being free to wear a bikini with confidence. when you raise your arms. Otherwise the scar may visible.
