Your surgeon will determine the optimal incision for your procedure. They are:
Periareolar

Next to the armpit
Transumbilical (TUBA)
In the navel
This is, essentially, a liposuction procedure, in which fat is removed from one part of the body, cleansed, and injected into the breast; there is no large incision.
You will receive detailed instructions about your activities, medications, washing and so on.
The type of incision and the implant size determine the downtime—which includes exercise. It can be in the range of two or three days to a week.
There will be no visible scars from a periareolar incision.
There will be minor scarring from an inframammary incision, but because it is in the crease below the breast, it will be covered by breast tissue.
There will be some scarring with both the transaxillary and transumbilical incisions, but it is virtually invisible
