The second site for breast augmentation surgery is the periareolar incision. As the name implies, the cut is made in a semi-circle direction around the lower half of the areola (or nipple). The plastic surgeon can position the implant either above or below the muscle. The inframammary incision for breast augmentation in this case is performed above the bosom's crease. In other words, the doctor will go in at the bottom area of the bosom where it dips in to attach to the rest of the chest. The implants most often used when the inframammary cut is employed are the silicone ones. This kind of implant can be positioned either above or below the muscle. In most instances the cut made is two to three inches long. However due to the fact that the silicone gels are pre-filled when they are placed into the body, the incisions sometimes need to be longer than that. This rarely results in any type of problem.
