Breast augmentation scarring depends on the incision site used to place the breast implant. Dr. Miller places breast implants using the inframammary incision (along the fold or crease beneath the breast) or periareolar incision (around the areola). The periareolar approach conceals the incision line within the darker pigment of the nipples, and the weight of the breasts often covers the surgical line under the breasts with the inframammary technique. Regardless of their location, breast augmentation scars will fade significantly within the first year.
