* '''Peri-areolar:''' in this surgery, two incisions around the areolas are made in order to pull the breast tissue. Scarring is minimal, but it often requires further revisions and only people with medium to small chests are elegible. | * '''Peri-areolar:''' in this surgery, two incisions around the areolas are made in order to pull the breast tissue.

== Breast augmentation == | |||
There are several things one has to take into account when looking for breast augmentation surgery options: | |||
* '''Type of implant:''' there are two types of implants: silicone implants and saline (i.e. saltwater) implants. While silicone feels and looks more natural, it also requires bigger incisions, which means bigger scars. | |||
* '''Shape:''' the shape of the implant can be round or like a teardrop. Round implants are the most popular choice, because they are symmetrical and rotation is not a problem. However, teardrop implants can give a more natural look. | |||
* '''Incision location:''' there are three ways to insert an implant: through a periareolar incision around your areola, an inframammary incision just below your chest muscle or a transaxillary incision through your armpit. With silicone implants, an inframammary incision is normally the best choice, as they are inserted fully inflated. With a saltwater implant there are more possible choices. | |||
