There are four main types of incisions for breast augmentation surgery and they all depend one what you're looking for aesthetically. When you want considerably large breasts, silicone is recommended and the incisions are made under the breasts. For saline implants, there are periarolar incisions, ones made around the nipple.

The entry marks will heal over time or leave the least obvious scarring.
