Most women undergoing breast augmentation have one main concern: size, shape, and aesthetics. However, what many women fail to realize is how important the incision location and type of incision is. Today women have the choice of choosing their size, implant material, and even shape. They can also choose the location of their incision. Popular locations are around the nipples and underneath the breast.
The two incisions are called periareolar and inframammory. Best Syndication reports about the two types and the positives and negatives of both, "This incision type (under the nipple) is the least visible of all incisions, but is associated with higher instances of the patient being unable to successfully breast feed when compared with other incision types. This incision under the breast fold is generally more visible than the periareolar incision site, but it's normally concealed under the breast. It is associated with less nipple and breastfeeding problems than the periareolar incision site."
Though there are other options available like underneath the arm and armpit or endoscopic placement (smaller incisions), these two are still the wisest and most popular choices of incisions.
