Breast Augmentation. Incision Selection

During the initial consultation for breast augmentation patients often ask questions regarding which approach is best to place the breast implant. There are advantages to each incisional approach. Which incision the patient decides upon depends upon their preference as well as surgeon input regarding pre-existing anatomical limitations.

Typically for silicone breast augmentation one of three incision choices is selected. The three possibilities are:

1. Peri-areolar
2. Inframammary
3. Transaxillary
