Where are the incisions for breast implants made?
Incisions for breast augmentation can be made in three areas. They are positioned to conceal and minimize scarring.
- Transaxillary (in the armpit)
- Periareolar (around the nipple)
- Inframamary (in the breast fold)
A fourth incision site through the belly button exists, but is infrequently used. Saline and silicone implants can be placed either under or over the chest wall (pectoralis muscle). The placement of the incisions and position of the implant depends on patient preference as well as the type and size of the implant. The choices and the benefits and negatives will be discussed with the patient during the pre-operative consultation.

I had such a positive experience here with Dr. Z and his staff. From the initial consultation to my post-surgery appts. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. All my questions/concerns were addressed, the surgery itself went really well (and I am so happy with my results, seriously life changing), my recovery went smoothly and Dr. Z gave me his personal cell # so I could reach out if I had any worries during my recovery. Dr. Z and his staff truly care about their patients and go above and beyond to deliver the best results! I highly recommend coming here if you need any aesthetic surgery, you won't be disappointed.
