What happens during the procedure?
Before proceeding to the surgery, anaesthesia is given to the patient, and once it has taken effect, the surgeon makes surgical cuts (incisions). Incision is made under the crease of the breast (inframammary incision), alongside the arm-pit (transaxillary incision), and around the nipples (periareolar incision). Then the implant is inserted through the incision, after that the incisions are stitched.
