Plastic surgery always targets perfection. To qualify any surgical result as “perfect”:
- It should look natural
- There must be no sign related to the surgery
- Nobody must notice that the person had surgery
Which breast augmentation technique does not leave a scar on the breast?
Scarring on the breast breaks the perfection. However, the armpit incision technique never leaves a scar on the breast.
There are basically three incision techniques in breast augmentation surgery:
- Periareolar incision: This method leaves a scar on the lower border of the areola.
- Submammary fold incision: This method leaves a scar on the lower fold of the breast.
- Axillary (armpit) incision: This technique does not leave a scar on the breast as the scar that will disappear in 6-12 months is located on the armpit.
The armpit incision technique, which I use and which does not leave a scar on the breast, requires particular experience. Since the armpit technique requires a unique set of skills and a good amount of experience, many surgeons tend to avoid it in favor of the more straightforward approaches. So, only a limited number of experienced surgeons in the world are able to perform it. Therefore, it is not a commonly used method and is not well known among the people.
Pros and cons of breast augmentation incisions
What are the advantages of scarless breast augmentation?
- This technique provides the most natural result that nobody can notice the surgery as it does not leave a scar on the breast.
- Instead of incising the skin 4-5 cm. in other techniques, 2,5-3 cm. incision allows the implant placement. Incision length is the shortest incision that can ever be.
- The scar on the armpit disappears within a year.

The picture was taken during the follow up of a patient who gave birth three months ago. The camera captured the milk drop coincidently at the moment when coming out from the nipple.
Being the shortest incision on the armpit is not the sole advantage of this method. And also:
- In terms of complication risks, this is the least risky technique as compared with the other techniques.
- Since the surgical wound is relatively smaller, blood loss during the procedure is also less.
- A smaller underarm incision allows you to recover quicker. Because of the shorter downtime, you will be able to return to your usual life sooner.
- A smaller surgical wound causes less pain after the surgery.
- Since the surgical plan is away from the nerve that supplies the nipple sensation, the risk of sensation change of the nipple is zero.
- According to literature data, the infection risk is statistically much less than the other methods.
- Since the surgical plan is away from the mammary glands, the mammary gland and ducts will remain intact. That means your breast will produce milk, and also you will be able to feed your baby.
Safety of the scarless breast augmentation with armpit incision technique
According to literature data, the armpit incision method, which does not leave a scar on the breast is safer than the other methods. Not only the rate of the complication but also their severity are less. That method has the highest satisfaction rate among the patients. Dr. Nazmi Baycin has performed nearly 1,000 cases of scarless breast augmentation in Dubai.
