as I said earlier I pretty much now do almost all my implants through an incision underneath the fold of the breast it's a hidden incision there are patients where it's gonna be more visible but again we're trying to avoid capsular contracture that's the worst complication and if we believe that bacteria are involved with that then we want to avoid that and so an incision through the armpit or through the nipple you're making an incision in a location where there are more bacteria and you're cutting through nerves both in the armpit and in the nipple and though and studies show that there is a higher rate of pain and numbness and issues associated with going through those two sites so I tried to dissuade patients from using anything other than an incision under the fold
