Can a Breast Implant Revision Be Done Through Same Transaxillary Incision?

I routinely do these types of revisions for patients who had surgery elsewhere or want an increase in size.  If a surgeon is experienced in placing implants through this incision, they should be able to help you.

It is often times very difficult to perform any revision through the axillary incision. Depending on what you need done, the inframammary fold incision would be needed to obtain enough visualization as well as access to perform the revisions necessary. Best wishes!

Simple revisions such as implant removal with a larger implant may be performed through the same incision but it may require a larger incision or endoscopic assistance. Other more complex revisions such as caspulectmy or capsulorrhapy or mastopexy will likely require an incision on the breast
