Truly Beautiful

Breast Enlargement through the Armpit

Breast enlargement through the armpit is also called transaxillary breast augmentation. This procedure utilizes a variable size incision which is strategically placed in a natural crease of the underarm. This method of breast enlargement is a popular option especially suited for women who fear potential scarring of the breast which is possible during other breast enhancement procedures.

Breast Enlargement through the Armpit Incisions

Underarm incision placement is a good option for women who do not want to chance the areolar or inframammary scarring associated with surgical wounds which are placed on the actual breast. The underarm contains natural creases and folds which are suitable for completely concealing a small incision and at least camouflaging a larger incision. The size and length of the incision required will depend on the size and type of breast implants selected by the patient. Saline implants require a very short surgical wound since they are placed in the body unfilled and folded to fit through the smallest of openings. Silicone breast implants and cohesive silicone gel implants require a sizably larger and longer incision, since they are pre-filled by the manufacturer. Particularly large sized silicone implants will require a long incision which will often be more noticeable post-operatively.

Breast Enlargement through the Armpit Comparison

Transumbilical breast enlargement has the distinction of being the best procedure to hide any surgical scar. However, this method can only be accomplished using saline implants. The other 2 surgical approaches, periareolar and inframammary, cut into the actual breast, risking visible scarring as well as potential complications which can affect breast sensitivity and the ability to breastfeed. Transaxillary breast augmentation does not cut into the breast, greatly minimizing these surgical complications while simultaneously leaving no scar formation in a visible location. This makes the procedure an excellent choice for women who desire silicone implants and also want to minimize scarring.

Recommendation on Breast Enlargement through the Underarm

Underarm placement of breast implants has become a time tested science which can provide excellent aesthetic results. If the cosmetic surgeon is skilled and experienced in the procedure, it truly offers one of the best all around options in breast augmentation. Using an endoscope will always help to minimize risks and provide better results for the procedure. Ask your surgeon if they normally use this high tech tool and how it might help to achieve the look and feel you expect from your beautiful new breasts. Remember, all surgical procedures have some risks, but learning the facts and planning your surgery carefully will certainly swing the odds for an incredible result in your favor.
