I was thinking of getting a BA and would want the armpit incision but was wondering how soon after surgery would you be able to shave there again, and how would you avoid irritating the scar? Also is getting that area waxed before surgery a good idea? thanks!

Answer: Breasts augmentation Dear Catherin, I use the armpit incision only for pectoral implants in men. They can shave the area 3 -4 days later as long as the wound healed well. I do not recommend the armpit incision to women because using instruments for the dissection of the pocket is less optimal for obtaining nice cleavage and a nice crease. On the contrary, sub areola incision allows dissection using the palpating finger which allows for a smooth and nice cleavage and crease. That area is very favorable for scar and it's location makes it appear as a natural line. Always, consult with board certified plastic surgeons and check their before and after pictures to make sure that you like the results. Best of luck, Dr Widder
