What are my incision options?
At Hill Country Plastic Surgery, we offer two safe incision options for your custom breast augmentation: inframammary (IMF) and periareolar (around the areola). IMF hides the scar in the breast fold with a lower infection risk but may not be suitable for poorly defined folds like tuberous breasts. The periareolar incision has advantages, such as pairing well with different pockets and addressing tuberous deformities, but comes with an increased risk of complications like capsular contracture and nipple distortion. Choose based on your specific needs and considerations.
