انواع برش جراحی بزرگ کردن سینه: راهنمای کامل برای انتخاب تکنیک مناسب در کلینیک ویوید استانبول

Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most customizable cosmetic procedures available today, and one of the most important decisions you and your surgeon will make is the incision type. The incision defines not only how the implant is placed, but also how the scar heals, how natural your result looks, and how your breasts age over time.

This in-depth guide explains everything you need to know about breast augmentation surgery incision types, the differences between them, how surgeons choose the safest option for your anatomy, and why Vivid Clinic in Istanbul is one of the leading centers for advanced breast incision techniques.

Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery Incision Types

Incisions are small openings created by the surgeon to insert the breast implant. These incisions are placed strategically to:

• Minimize visible scarring
• Ensure accurate implant placement
• Protect nerves and milk ducts
• Preserve nipple sensitivity
• Allow long-term implant stability

A highly trained breast augmentation surgeon will recommend an incision that matches your anatomy, implant type, and aesthetic goals.

There are three primary incision types used worldwide, all of which are available at Vivid Clinic Istanbul:

1. Inframammary Incision (Under the Breast Fold)
2. Periareolar Incision (Around the Nipple Border)
3. Transaxillary Incision (Armpit)

Inframammary Incision (Under the Breast Fold)

What Is the Inframammary Incision?

The inframammary incision is made along the natural fold beneath the breast—called the inframammary crease. It is the most widely used and most predictable incision type for breast augmentation.

Advantages of the Inframammary Incision

• Highest precision for implant placement
• Lowest complication rate
• Excellent visibility for the surgeon
• Works well with all implant types
• Minimal disturbance to the breast tissue
• Practical for revision surgeries

Most patients achieve a very discreet scar hidden within the natural crease, especially with proper post-operative care.

Best Candidates برای the Inframammary Incision

• Women choosing silicone implants
• Women seeking larger implants
• Women with clearly defined breast folds
• Patients wanting the safest, most controlled technique

At Vivid Clinic, this is the most commonly selected incision due to its safety and long-term predictability.

Periareolar Incision (Around the Nipple Border)

What Is the Periareolar Incision?

This incision is made around the edge of the areola, following the natural color transition between the areola and breast skin. This makes the scar blend extremely well.

Advantages of Periareolar Incision (Around the Nipple Border)

• Extremely discreet scar due to color change at the areola border
• Excellent access for precise implant placement
• Suitable for small-implant revisions
• Good for patients requiring minor nipple or areola reshaping

Considerations and Risks of Periareolar Incision (Around the Nipple Border)

• Slightly higher risk of temporary changes in nipple sensitivity
• Not suitable for patients with very small areolas
• May interfere with milk ducts in rare cases

Best Candidates برای Periareolar Incision (Around the Nipple Border)

• Patients with medium or large areola diameter
• Those requiring minor nipple/areola reshaping
• Patients prioritizing minimal visible scarring

Transaxillary Incision (Armpit)

What Is the Transaxillary Incision?

The transaxillary incision is made in a natural wrinkle of the armpit. Through this incision, a tunnel is created toward the breast pocket, and the implant is placed without scarring the breast itself.

Advantages of Transaxillary Incision (Armpit)

• No scars on the breast
• Incision hidden in the armpit crease
• Suitable for patients who scar easily on the chest

Transaxillary Incision (Armpit) Limitations

• نیاز به مهارت جراحی پیشرفته
• Limited visibility for large implants
• Not ideal for significant breast asymmetry correction
• Less practical for revision surgeries

Transaxillary Incision (Armpit) Best Candidates

• Women with smooth, hairless underarms
• Women who strongly prefer zero breast scarring
• Patients with small to moderate implants

How Surgeons Choose the Right Incision Type

Your surgeon at Vivid Clinic will evaluate:

Your Anatomy

• Areola size
• Chest width
• Breast tissue amount
• Breast fold definition
• Skin elasticity

Implant Type and Size

Silicone implants, anatomical shapes, or higher volumes often require the inframammary incision for best precision.

اهداف زیبایی‌شناختی

Some patients prioritize invisible scars, others prioritize ease of revision or the most stable technique.

Revision Requirements

Periareolar or inframammary incisions are preferred for revision needs because they allow easier access to the implant pocket.
