The Comparison of Scars in Breast Implantation Surgery with Inframammary Fold Incision Versus Axillary Incision: A Prospective Cohort Study in Chinese Patients

ConclusionsThe total VSS score for the axillary incision group was significantly higher than that for the IMF incision group one and 6  months after surgery, mainly on the subscales of vascularity and height. At 12 months after surgery, the total VSS scores were not different between the two groups, and patients with both kinds of incisions were highly satisfied with scar appearance. The research confirmed that the scars at two l ocations can achieve comparable appearance in the long term after surgery.Level of Evidence IIIThis journal requires that authors assign a level of evidence to each article.
