Breast Augmentation Incision Placement

Some of the most common questions before a breast augmentation are about incisions and scarring. There are a few incision techniques that may be used during a breast augmentation, all of which are designed to minimize scarring. Dr. Ortiz is a highly-skilled surgeon who will discuss the following options with you to determine the best incision type for your surgery.

Breast Augmentation Incision Placement Options

Inframammary

An inframammary incision is a short incision made in the crease underneath the breast (the inframammary fold.) The scar from an inframammary incision is thin and typically just 1-2 inches in length. In addition to being very effective in hiding the scar, this type of incision allows Dr. Ortiz to place larger implants with more precision than other incision options.

Periareolar

Periareolar incisions are made around the outer edge of the areola so the scar is hidden by the natural change in pigmentation. This type of incision is ideal when you are receiving a breast lift in conjunction with implants.
