I'm 5'3'' weighing 98 lbs. I'm very petite with a small frame. I wanted much larger breasts and was hoping for silicone implants at 450cc to 475cc. Would such a large implant be able to be inserted through the armpit? I've read that if the implant is too large, it wouldn't be a good incision location. Also, would the shape be affected through the armpit? Which incision location is best for optimal implant placement? Thanks!
Answer: Transaxillary Breast Augmentation: Great Option Transaxillary Breast Augmentation: Great OptionWe have been using this approach for over twenty years.This is our most common and recommended site for silicone implant placement. Axillary – with this incision, there are no scars on the breasts Special training, experience, and equipment may be required for this procedure.Potential problems noted by other surgeons are only by inexperienced doctors or are noted by those who have no experience with this technique

Answer: No problem i do do it every week as big as 800cc (largest available) I think a lot of surgeons are against transaxillary breast augmentation because they do not feel comfortable performing it or they even never tried or got train in performing it. I learned how to safely and successfully perform this type of breast augmentation over 25 years ago. Since then I augmented many thousands of breasts this way and this is my experience: it is my preferred way to do it (for a right candidate) my main reason is: why mutilate perfect beautiful woman's body if you can avoid it? And there is really no downside, it is not true that are more complications, problems or capsular contractures than with any other way to do it. If surgeon is skilled and knows how to perform axillary breast augmentation results are very predictable. I would not be repeating this procedure for over 25 years if it would be causing problems. It would be insane since I sometimes have 10 patients /week and would ha to deal with a lot of unhappy women... And do not trust surgeons who tell you under the breast incision is great. Frequently, they are quite visible, stretched, dark, keloidal and quite annoying. Especially in small breasts that have no folds make these scars impossible to hide. Last time I performed inframammary incision is over 20 years ago. There is no need for that. Armpit incisions ALWAYS heal great, and they are either invisible or look like a wrinkle in your armpit. And in my experience problems that people are describing are if anything less common that with other approaches.

Answer: Transaxillary Pros As you can see from my colleagues comments below, the only real pro is that the scar is less visible, but, in my opinion, the cons well outweigh that pro, but speak with your surgeon as to his or her advise on the best approach for you. Best, Dr. Nazarian

Answer: Tranaxillary approach The transracial art approach has a major drawback. If you ever need further surgery done, it usually can't be fee through the armpit. The supposed advantage of the scar is not as great as it sounds.

Answer: Implant through axilla The size is not the major concern as it can be done, but the major risk of the technique is possible asymmetry if the surgeon is not experienced at this approach. Be sure to discuss with your own surgeon about how this applies to you, and whether they have any special concerns in your case.
