Trans-Axillary Augmentation Scars

 

Trans-axillary Augmentation Scars: 
 

Trans-axillary placement of breast  implants is my approach of choice for  breast  augmentation or enlargement surgery, although other approaches  are also available.  The approach is viable for saline or silicone implants, although special insertion devices (Keller funnel) are needed to place silicone implants in this manner . This  approach allows for virtual elimination  of  visible  scars  in most patients, and  eliminates any    scars on the breast.    Several examples appear below.

 

Photos Before and After Surgery:
