Breast Implant Incisions

To place breast implants in a breast augmentation procedure, incisions will need to be made. In his 25 years of practice, board-certified Knoxville plastic surgeon Dr. Dean Kleto has found that the best incision option is inframammary. While there are other incision options, Dr. Kleto prefers inframammary incisions because they allow him the greatest control over breast implant placement, allowing him to ensure symmetrical and pleasing results.

Inframammary incisions are placed in the crease where your breast and chest meet. This location gives Dr. Kleto optimal access to the breast pocket in which the implant will be placed, and allows him to work in close proximity to the placement area. By working in the exact area the breast implant will be placed, Dr. Kleto can ensure much more natural looking results.

Benefits of Inframammary Incisions

In addition to providing Dr. Kleto greater control over placement location and the creation of a better pocket, inframammary incisions have benefits over other options including:

• Scars from inframammary incisions are easily hidden in the natural folds of your breasts
• Inframammary incisions allow Dr. Kleto improved access for breast implant placement
• Inframammary incisions are ideal for both types of breast implants

If breast augmentation revision or implant replacement becomes necessary, inframammary incisions can be reopened, reducing future scarring and eliminating the need for additional incisions

Dr. Kleto is dedicated to providing his patients with the safest and most stunning results possible. Through inframammary incisions, Dr. Kleto can help ensure your breast augmentation offers symmetrical results that compliment your entire frame.
