Incision Areas for implants

Hey girls,

Ive been reading about the different incisions for the breast implants.

There are 3 types:

– armpit

– around the areola (nipple)

– inflammatroy fold (which everyone seems to get)

It said that the best results were the ones that had been inserted trhough the nipple as the scars aren’t visible and that there are less risks of infections compared to getting the inflammatory fold ones.

It said that with the inflammatory fold incisions it is more likely to get infected as the scar is under the implant as opposed to getting the one around the nipple.

Any ideas as to why all surgeons seem to go for unders ?.

Thanks xxx

mr traynor seems to do more overs from what iv read on here and im also having overs xx

Not sure how to answer your question but yesterday I had a nipple lift and implants. The implants were inserted through my fold rather than the areola even though they have been cut. I just trusted my surgeon on this one xx

Surgeons prefer the fold umder the breast as it’s easily hidden.

Arm pit incisions only if there isn’t enough of a natural fold to go underneath.

As for nipples, surgeons prefer to leave them alone if possible.

There is another alternative, and that’s through the tummy button. How on earth you get an implant all the way to the boobie, heaven knows.

It’s relatively new procedure and none of the MYA surgeons do it.

I’ve not heard that one is more prone to infection than another but usually they do all they can to minimise infection risk. I think with the areola incision there is increased chance that there will be altered/loss of nipple sensation afterwards compared to under the crease and it can be more difficult to get larger silicone implants into the incision site cos of the length of incision needed. If in doubt just ask a surgeon for the pros and cons, I’m sure they’ll clarify and explain why they’re using a particular method. x
