Breast Augmentation Incisions: What You Need to Know

Deciding to have breast augmentation (breast implants) can be exciting, but there are a lot of factors that need careful consideration first.

First, you must find a certified plastic surgeon that you trust. Once you've scored a consultation, be prepared to discuss every aspect of your surgery; candidates, risks, recovery, cost and of course, the procedure itself.

You should research before your consultation to get an idea of your options. There are many sizes and types of breast implants to choose from. Another important aspect of the surgery is choosing the incision, which can greatly impact your results.

Although these decisions will be made alongside your plastic surgeon, it's good to have a little know-how on the techniques beforehand.

Here are the four most common breast augmentation incisions:

1. Periareolar Incision
2. Inframammary Incision
3. Transaxillary Incision
4. TUBA Incision
