Inframammary Incision in New York, New York (NY)
Your surgeon can place your breast implants through inframammary
incisions, which are made along the creases between your chest and the bottom
of your breasts. This is the most popular incision placement because it gives
your surgeon good access to your breast tissue during surgery, but some women may
dislike the scar placement.
Advantages of inframammory incision
The inframammory incision is a popular choice for breast
augmentation for multiple reasons.
- The scars can be well hidden by your bra or
bikini, as well as the fold of your breasts.
- Your surgeon has good control over your implant
placement.
- It’s the best, and sometimes only, incision option
for larger sized implants.
- The incisions can be reopened in future
surgeries, so you won’t have additional scars.
- There is little to no risk of nerve damage that
can decrease your breast or nipple sensitivity, and bleeding during surgery is
usually minimal.
Disadvantages
There are drawbacks to the inframammory incision to consider
as well.
- It’s hard to change your implant size later
because the bottom creases of your breasts can move, causing your scars to move
up onto your breasts, or lower onto your chest.
- It can be challenging to place the incisions
properly if your natural breasts are small and your breast creases aren’t well
defined.
- The scars may be more noticeable when you’re
undressed, or if your breasts don’t form a well-defined fold.
