If you’ve ever thought about having breast augmentation, you aren’t alone. It is consistently one of the top 3 plastic surgeries in the nation each year, and The Wall Center performs over 800 breast procedures each year. That considerable experience with aesthetic breast surgery led our surgeons to adopt several sophisticated surgical techniques, including advanced incisions that reduce visible breast augmentation, reduction, and lift scars.
Reducing Breast Scars With Advanced Incision Techniques
Two advancements that have made a big difference for many patients at The Wall Center are the “short scar” or “no visible scar” techniques employed by our surgeons. These approaches minimize the look of scars without compromising proper implant placement or limiting your implant options.
Short-Scar Breast Lift & Reduction
Our surgeons perform breast lifts, breast lifts with implants, and breast reductions—surgeries that traditionally produce extensive scarring—through much shorter incisions. Most surgeons use the inverted “T” incision, which involves a scar around the areola, straight down the underside of the breast, and a long horizontal scar in the breast crease (inframammary fold).
We eliminate the breast crease incision, reducing the total scar length by 50 to 70%. In addition to the shorter scar, this approach produces a better aesthetic result with reduced complications, less surgery time, and usually less pain. Also, as with all our breast surgeries, the recovery period is practically nothing because we use the rapid recovery program.

No Visible Scar
Women who don’t want scars on their breasts often choose this approach, which places breast implants in a remote location like the armpit or, occasionally, the bellybutton. This is done with the assistance of an endoscope—a long tube with a very small video camera and bright light that enables the surgeon to visualize the internal breast anatomy. This is attractive for patients who have a history of poor scarring or are concerned about scars. It is also a good option for women who don’t want anyone to know they’ve had a breast augmentation or don’t want a visible breast scar, such as models, performers and exotic dancers.
