There are generally 3 types of incisions used for inserting the breast implants. The inframammary incision, and Mr. Solomos’s preference, is made under the breast at the fold or crease line. The incision is about 4 cm in length. This is the most common incision in plastic surgery, and the natural fold of the breast usually hides the scar quite well. It will probably always be covered by any clothing-even the smallest of bikini tops. Because the incision gives immediate access to the space where the implant will be placed it is possible to very accurately create the size and shape of the pocket for the implant, and carefully control the position of the implant within that pocket. Another method is the peri-areola incision, which is made around the edge of the areola (the darker skin around the edge of the nipple). The disadvantage is that the scar is not hidden by any folds, and subsequent scarring may interfere with milk expression in breast-feeding. The third method is the axillary incision, which is made in one of the crease lines of the armpit. This is used less often because it is more difficult to get proper placement of the implant in some patients, and if there is a problem in the future, an additional incision on the breast may be required. Although some patients thinking about this surgery may believe this approach is the least conspicuous, in truth this may not always be the case, particularly in light of sleeveless open type clothing which expose the armpit area quite readily and frequently. Regardless of where the incision is placed it is important to remember that a scar will always be present. As such there are people with good scarring ability(most people) and people with poor scarring tendencies(thankfully quite unusual). This cannot be predicted before the cosmetic surgery. It is Mr. Solomos opinion, that in the event of poor scarring it is best that the scar is positioned in the most hidden and least exposed of positions. This is why Mr. Solomos prefers inserting the scar under the breast, right in the fold, as this is the least conspicuous place. All scars are red initially, but then scars normally settle quite well and become less conspicuous with time. However no plastic surgeon can ultimately predict the appearance of any particular scar
