Breast implants are surgically placed with a number of incision options. An inframammary incision, where the incision is placed in the fold under the breasts, an axillary incision, which is placed through the armpit, a periarolar incision, through crescent shaped area on the areola and an umbilical incision through the belly button. Once the incision is made the implant is placed into the body in one of two positions.

Subglandular, over the pectoral muscle and under the breast tissue or Submuscular, where the implant is placed below both the pectoral muscle an overlying breast tissue. Deciding which incision and which implant placement method is best done after a physical examination, since your body type will dictate the options appropriate for you.
