Inframammary Incision in San Antonio, Texas (TX)
When
inserting implants, your surgeon can make an incision in the crease under the
breasts, and it is one of the most common incisions currently used for breast
augmentation. With using this incision site, the implants can be placed over,
partially under, or completely under the muscle.
There are
advantages and disadvantages to having the incision made in the inframammary
fold or crease.
Advantages
·
- The
surgeon is able to work within close proximity of the breast, which allows the
surgeon to have more control over placement of the implant.
·
- The
incision, if placed correctly, can prevent the incision scar from being
visible.
·
Should
capsular contracture, symmastia, bottoming out, or other complications occur,
revision surgery can all be performed through this incision

Disadvantages
·
- In
instances where there is little breast tissue or little to no natural crease,
accurate placement of the incision can be difficult. That said, a misplaced
crease is rare, especially when performed by a skilled surgeon.
·
- If
you decide that you want to go up or down in size later, the crease will have
to be adjusted. In cases where the implants are much larger, the incision scars
will likely ride higher on the breast and be visible. If downsizing, the
incision scars will be lower than they were initially. And should the implants
be removed permanently, the crease incision will be completely visible.
