Incision Options
At Hill Country, we offer two safe incision options for breast augmentation: inframammary (IMF) and periareolar (around the areola). IMF hides the scar in the breast fold with lower infection risk but may not be suitable for poorly defined folds like tuberous breasts. 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.
