In our practice, we have a choice of 3 different types of incisions.
1. Around the areola
2. In the inframammary fold, the breast crease below the areola or nipple
While many women have preferences to which incision they want to use, we often wait until the consultation is done and then we discuss the merits of each incision. Often times, multiple incisions can be used with equal efficacy. However, with some patients, their body type or breast type lends them to one incision being preferred over the other.
