Frequently Asked Questions What are the possible locations for the incision and is one better than the others? Breast augmentation can... Breast augmentation can involve incisions placed in one of three locations: periareolar, or around the nipple; inframammary, or within the crease beneath the breast; or axillary, which is below the armpit. The best incision placement for you will depend upon several factors and should be determined with the help of your doctor. In general, however, the axillary and inframammary placements are typically associated with fewer complications with future breast feeding, though both of these placements do produce a visible, though small, scar. The periareolar placement, on the other hand, involves a less visible scar, but it is associated with an increase in breast feeding complications. Main FAQ Area | ||||||||||||||||||
