In patients with white skin is sought, by contrast, protect the scar so that once mature and pearly be confused with the adjacent skin.


The armpit: opting for this route when used implant patient serum or rejects the indiction areolar. This path requires special care not to damage structures in the area and noble poses some difficulty for the release insiciones muscle and hemostasis.


The path breast: primary implants is not used this way because although the scar is of good quality, always more visible than the other two locations and because, in some cases it may be a hypertrophic scarring or Keloidblastomycosis. only when there are scars prior exploit them.
