What types of Incisions are used in Breast Augmentation?


There are four incision location for breast augmentation. Most surgeons will have their own preferences for one or two incisions. The most common location is the Inframammary Fold Incision located in the crease on the undersurface of the breast. It provides direct access for implant placement. It can be well hidden in an individual with a well defined crease. The next most commonly employed incision is the Periareolar Incision which is curved along the lower edge of the areola. This tends to give an excellent scar and provides good access except for patients with small areola. The Transaxillary Incision is placed in the armpit and avoids any scar on the breast. Correct implant placement can be more difficult and access is more limited should bleeding occur. The last and most infrequently employed incision is Periumbilical or around the belly button.
My personal preferences are the Inframammary and Periareolar Incisions which I find adaptable to almost all breast types. By limiting the incision length to 3 centimeters, scarring is minimal. There is no greater incidence of sensory loss with the periareolar incision.

Breast Augmentation, Breast Feeding and Pregnancy
Following breast augmentation, pregnancy can have unpredictable results on overall breast shape and volume. The increase in size may cause stretching and thinning of the breast skin. Loss of overall volume and breast sagging are common sequelae following pregnancy. Hereditary influences, skin quality and overall weight gain may a major role in the effects of pregnancy on breast tissue. Some women may have several pregnancies and have minimal changes to the shape and size of their breasts. However most women will experience some volume loss and possible ptosis. The majority are ideal candidates for breast augmentation and or breast lift surgery. With over 30 years of experience, Dr. Linderman can help breast volume and shape after pregnancy.
