Scars and Recovery Time Depending on Breast Surgery Incision Location

 Scars and Recovery Time Depending on Breast Surgery Incision Location!


When people meet, appearance greatly influences the first impression.

Of course, the face is important, but body shape and the overall vibe also play a crucial role in determining the first impression.

This vibe is a key criterion for judging attractiveness, and especially for women, a voluminous chest and body line significantly impact their appearance and vibe.




A woman's chest itself is an important point of attraction, but many women worry and feel stressed about the size or shape of their breasts. Women with beautifully curved and softly rounded breasts naturally feel more attractive. As a result, more people are considering breast augmentation surgery using implants to address these concerns and stress.

In breast augmentation surgery, implant insertion is one of the most chosen procedures by women to create voluminous and beautiful breasts. Many people worry about scars when considering such breast surgeries.

So today, let's discuss the incision locations in breast surgery and the scars associated with each location.





Breast Surgery Incision Methods and Their Pros and Cons

In general, the incision locations for breast implant surgery can be divided into the armpit, under the breast crease, and the areola.

Recently, armpit incisions and under the breast crease incisions are more commonly used than areola incisions.


Armpit Incision Method



The armpit incision method involves making a 3-4cm incision in the armpit crease to insert the implant. The biggest advantage of this method is that the scar can be hidden by the arm. This method effectively hides the scar within the armpit crease. However, the armpit incision method involves a larger dissection area and since the armpit is used frequently, the post-surgery pain can be greater.


Under the Breast Crease Incision Method



The under the breast crease incision method involves making a 3-4cm incision along the natural fold under the breast to insert the implant. This method has the advantages of a relatively simple surgical process, lower risk of complications, and an easier recovery process.

Additionally, the voluminous breasts will cover the scar from the front view after surgery, but the scar may be visible when lying down or from a lower angle.


Choosing Incision Location in Specific Situations

While the armpit incision method is often preferred in most breast surgeries, there are specific situations where the under the breast crease incision is necessary.


For example, if the breasts are too saggy, asymmetrical, or if only one side is saggy or has a significantly different nipple position, it is difficult to perform surgery with an armpit incision.




In such cases, surgery must be performed through an under the breast crease incision.



Recovery Time and Care After Breast Surgery

The scars and pain after breast surgery vary depending on the incision location and the size of the implants. In the case of the armpit incision method, the dissection area is larger and the pain may be greater because it is a frequently used area. On the other hand, the under the breast crease incision method has relatively less pain. The recovery period after breast surgery is generally about one month.




For the under the breast crease incision, arm movement is possible after 2-3 weeks, but for the armpit incision, care must be taken with arm movements for about a month.

Breast surgery enhances confidence in appearance, maximizes personal attractiveness, and allows for the desired breast size and shape, resulting in high personal satisfaction. It can be a significant choice not just for changing appearance, but for discovering a new self and living a better life.

However, no matter which method is chosen, breast surgery inevitably leaves scars from the incision made to insert the implants. As previously explained, to minimize scars and achieve satisfactory results, careful selection of the incision location and method is necessary.

When choosing the incision location for breast surgery, one must consider the scars, surgical results, pain, and recovery time comprehensively. If scars are a concern, the armpit incision can be a good choice.


However, if the focus is solely on surgical results, the under the breast crease incision may be a better choice. Each incision location has its pros and cons, so it is recommended to decide after thoroughly consulting with experienced medical professionals.

I hope today's information has helped alleviate some of your concerns about the incision locations and scars associated with each area in breast surgery. I hope all women considering breast surgery due to dissatisfaction with their breast size or shape find the right method for themselves and achieve satisfactory results.

If you have any further questions or concerns about breast surgery, please feel free to leave a message, and we will kindly respond.
