A crease incision, or inframammary, is most commonly used incision. This incision is so popular because it usually not visible and it also gives surgeon a great deal of control when placing implants.

A second option is periareolar, which is an incision made around areola. This incision heals very well. This approach has more downside than inframammary. An alteration of sensation may result while there may also be a higher rate of implant exposure to your body's own bacteria, which could have side effects.

A transaxillary incision is made in armpit. Although this leaves least visible scar, this incision typically gives surgeon less implant placement control.

Some patients consider choosing type of incision to be as important as choosing surgeon himself. “Each patient is different, and each patient's anatomy may respond to differently to certain incisions, “ says Dr. Downs, a breast augmentation surgeon in Indiana, “Your surgeon should discuss with you pros and cons of each option, as well as explaining how individual patient may react.”
