This includes discussions about the characteristics of the implants as well as the surgical approach. Dr. Richardson will provide information to help you understand which incision option aligns with your needs.

Periareolar Incision Technique

The periareolar incision is made around the lower edge of the areola, integrating the incision with the natural texture and pigmentation transition of the area. This technique provides access for creating the space for the implant and its placement.

This method may be considered by individuals who have specific breast shapes or conditions. It’s important to note that this approach may involve considerations regarding sensation around the nipple area.

Inframammary Incision Technique

The inframammary incision is placed in the crease beneath the breast, where it can be less noticeable. Visibility of any residual scarring can vary based on individual anatomy and positioning. The inframammary approach offers clear access for creating the space for the implant and its precise placement.

This technique is frequently used by Dr. Richardson and may be suitable for individuals with certain breast characteristics or those who are considering specific types of implants.

Transaxillary Incision Technique

The transaxillary incision, made in the underarm area, is an alternative method that is less commonly utilized due to its placement and the potential visibility of scars when wearing certain clothing. It may also be associated with a different recovery experience. This technique is generally not recommended for individuals with certain breast shapes or conditions.
