Transaxillary Endoscopic Breast Enlargement

I think you should make your choice between silicone and saline based on the issues related to the implants themselves, but if you are open to saline, you can get some more information on endoscopic augmentations with saline implants on our site if you'd like. It's the most common technique we use in our practice. (link below) see photos

Also, placing large silicone implants required lonh incisions so saline implants were the most common implants for this incision approach.

Transaxillary breast augmentation can be a good choice

Transaxillary breast augmentation is an excellent option

Transaxillary breast augmentation is an excellent option if you have the right breast size and shape.

Transaxillary breast augmentation

Transaxillary breast augmentation was a reasonable approach for saline implants because the incision was small.
