| 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. This allows | virtual elimination of visible scars in most patients, and eliminates any scars on the breast. Several examples appear below. | |
Photos Before and After Surgery:
| Case 1: Augmentation result in a 31 yr old woman (Case 3 on previous page) by Trans-Axillary technique with sub-muscular saline breast implants. |  |
 |
Three month appearance of axillary scars after breast augmentation using 425cc saline breast implants. Note the left scar is almost invisible, but the right scar is still a bit red. This scar will gradually fade as well |
| Case 2: A very thin 31 year old woman underwent Breast Augmentation by Trans - Axillary approach. Scars are shown 3 months post-op. |  |
 |
These scars will be very inconspicuous when the redness fades. This patient has scant breast tissue and a very prominent breast bone, but still has achieved excellent breast shape by placing her implants in the sub-muscular position. |
| Case 3: A 3 year post-op photo showing axillary scar in a 25 year old. The scar is virtually invisible even when viewed in the office during this follow - up exam. |  |
Trans - Axillary Breast Augmentation scar is virtually invisible even when viewed in the office during this follow-up exam. |
| Case 4: Three months after trans-axillary augmentation mammaplasty. |  |
Axillary scars are already minimally visible at 3 months. The breast implants lie deep to the pectoral muscles. |
