Breast augmentation has its risks just like any other surgeries it involves anesthesia, bleeding and infections that may cause more damage then just scarring. Also, like any other surgery, you can have complications following the surgery you might be having.

When your body tries to heal from burns, cuts or any other wounds, the tissues forms to fill in the injured place. The tissue forms itself across the incision and eventually contracts to pull the edges of the wound tightly together. The scars can become smaller with time or fade but its not always what happens.

Breast Augmentation Scars

Here are four of the places where the incision is made in breast surgery:

• In the navel
• Under the breast crease
• Around the areola
• In the armpit (axillary) area

An axillary incision (armpit)
is about one inch in length and can usually only be seen when the woman raises her arms above her head. In time, this scar will become a faded thin line.

Regarding the incision that is made around the areola, the scar will be virtually invisible. Future breastfeeding is unlikely with this incision as the mild ducts and nerves are damaged with this incision.

For the incision under the breast crease, the cut will be 2-3 inches in length and will be underneath the breast, only very slightly above where the breast meets the chest wall. Your cosmetic surgeon, with this incision, will have a very clear view of his work. In time, the scar will only be a very thin faded line and only visible upon close inspection.

Regarding the trans-umbilical incision, the incision is a little curve inside the navel. With this incision, only one incision is necessary for two implants. Your cosmetic surgeon will create a tunnel from the incision up to the implant site behind the breast tissue. The scar will be visible only upon very close inspection.
