Where will my breast augmentation scar be located? | Dr. Emily Kirby

For a breast augmentation the American Society of Plastic Surgeons only recommends the infra-mammary fold scar hidden under the shadow of the breast. Scars placed around the areola surrounding the nipple can widen and introduce bacteria around the implant. Scars placed in the axilla or armpit are not only more visible than other scars when wearing many styles of clothing but are frowned upon due to the increased possibility of bacterial contamination which can lead to many problems down the road. -Dr. Emily Kirby
