However, this might be not possible in women who have very small areolas wherein other sites might be of benefit.  An inframamary incision is placed on the skin crease or fold. This type of incision is best for breasts that have some volume on the lower pole thus having a very well defined crease to hide the incision. A trans axillary approach is also an option for women with very flat breast and small areolas. However, there is a risk of a visible scar in the armpit area.
