So, rest assured, once you decide on a procedure, your well-being and appearance are in the hands of a highly skilled plastic and cosmetic surgeon. Dr. Richardson will use a technique that places incisions needed in any breast surgery so that the resulting scars are out of sight and inconspicuous. Even you may have a difficult time seeing them.

During your consultation, Dr. Richardson will evaluate you based on your desired results and current condition to determine which method would best suit your individual needs. Each patient is treated on a case by case basis to ensure they receive results catered specifically to them. Depending on your body structure and the type of procedure you are having, breast surgery incision techniques in Brisbane will consist of one of the following:

  • Periareolar Incision: This incision is made around the outline of the areola, which is the brown or pink colored area surrounding the nipple, the goal is to minimize the incision’s visibility by locating it between the dark area of the areola and its surrounding skin. This incision is commonly used in breast reduction and breast lift procedures.
  • Inframammary Incision: Made in the crease underneath the bottom of the breast, this small incision creates a pocket in which Dr. Richardson places the implant and then slides it upward in position behind the nipple. The proximity to the breast allows for excellent visibility and accuracy of the implant’s placement. The inframammary incision leaves a one to two inch scar along the lower portion of the breast that can easily be hidden by a bra or swimsuit top.
