Being away from the nipple and areola minimises the risk of bacterial contamination. the bacteria are not considered to be dangerous, they may to an risk of contracture. Capsular contracture involves the formation of dense scar tissue which may alter the shape of the and breast surgery.


This allows the to directly the muscle and direct the of the implant either above or below the muscle. If is in the future, the inframammary is most used. Therefore using this for the first means there will be no extra scarring when revision surgery is needed. It is important to that breast implants do not last for an individual’s and it is likely to a at some point in the future. Surgeons often prefer this as it allows more of a breast pocket for optimum breast .

Silicone breast implants a length of 4-5 cm to be safely placed breast whereas saline breast require a much as they are often in a state before being inflated inside the chest.


Women with small may not be able to accommodate an incision length of 5 cm for the of silicone breast . The best incision, in this case, would be either the inframammary incision or trans approach. The periareolar incision is linked with a higher chance of developing contracture. The of the scar can often be well as the is often made on the border between the areola and skin so any scar can be to visualise.

Transumbilical approach


This is the least commonly used type of incision and it’s not used in the UK as the technique is used for the insertion of saline breast implants.

The surgeon creates a subcutaneous tunnel from the belly button incision to access the breasts. This incision is rarely used as the risk of implant malposition is significantly increased.
