Examples include a scar around the areola, a scar in a vertical line from the areola to the fold of the breast at the chest wall, a half-inch horizontal scar at the base of the breast, a horizontal scar of about two inches somewhere above the inframammary fold (the fold under each breast), or a long horizontal scar along the fold of the breast at the chest wall.

The axilla and inframammary fold, commonly sites of the most severe skin injury, receive higher skin doses because these are sites where redundant skin produces a bolus effect and pulls the higher doses up to the skin surface.

Other results include a statistically significant increase in the openness of the inframammary fold (IMF) and visualization of
