Transaxillary and Use of Keller Funnel with Silicone Implants. Is This For Me? Will it Look and Feel Natural? (photo)

Hi I am looking to get silicone implants ( no more than 330 ccs). I would like to have it through the armpit and under the muscle. There a few doctor that have experience with this method but its what I want( very hard to find). Will this feel and look natural too? maybe I'm aiming for the sky but this is the ideal results I would like. I kind of want low placement and my breast to droop/sag/move like real one. (I know its what most people may way but i think this might be best?)

Cohesive Gel Implants Through the Axilla (Arm Pit Incision)

The Keller funnel has made insertion of cohesive gel implants much easier and safer. In the past, we used to say that cohesive gel implants required a larger incision than saline implants because the implants come pre-filled as opposed to saline which we fill in the patient. However with the Keller funnel cohesive gel implants can now be inserted with an incision as small as a saline implant. This allows us to insert cohesive gel implants through tiny incisions under the breast, around the... more

Transaxillary bba and Keller funnel

Keller funnel helps to place a silicone implant through the transaxillary incision. At 330 you don't even need the funnel. I usually need it when the implants reach 400 cc. I have performed many transaxillary augmentations with silicone implants and love the results. However, patient selection is very important. Your pictures show breasts that are droopy. I would examine you more closely first to ensure that a transaxillary approach can position the... more

Keller Funnel and transaxillary Breast AUgmentation - Excellent Technique

This is a good technique, using the Keller Funnel to insert the breasts implant under the muscle via an endoscopic axillary approach, of which I have done over 1000. See the referenced video to see this technique performed in under 10 minutes, skin to skin. see video

Implants and transaxillary approach

I do not like the transaxillary approach because they have the highest risk of implants malposition. The keller funnel is used to limit the size of the incision.

Breast augmentation transaxillary with Keller Funnel

Transaxillary breast augmentation with Keller funnel is a good procedure in the right patient. For you, however, I would recommend areolar reduction and lift to address the assymetrical position of your nipples. Implants can be placed though this incision partially under the muscle. This will give you the best final outcome in my opinion.

Transaxillary is an excellent chooice for augmentation

It should not be hard to find a surgeon who will use a transaxillary approach for augmentation, with or without a Keller funnel. The technique will give a very nice result and keep the scar off the breast. It is not too much to ask. You goal photo it not far off the from what you might be.
