There are three main types of incisions used in our Bellevue breast augmentation procedure. Inframammary (under the fold of breast), peri-areolar (around areola), and trans-axillary (through armpit). All three are possible, but the latest research and our own personal experience has taught us that the inframammary incision is the safest and produces the least scarring. The TUBA technique (through the navel) is a highly controversial technique that is effectively shunned by most qualified plastic surgeons. It has also lost its popularity due to some dismal complications.
