Breast Implant Placement is Individualized

You should discuss with your plastic surgeon the pros and cons of the breast implant placement selected for you. There are three common incision sites: under the arm (axillary), around the nipple (periareolar), or within the breast fold (inframammary). If the incision is made under the arm, the plastic surgeon may use a probe fitted with a miniature camera, along with minimally invasive (very small) instruments, to create a “pocket” for the breast implant.
