Are gummy bear implants possible with a Transaxillary incision?

September 28, 2018
Asked By:Envyyy

I am interested in Breast Augmentation and would love to have an unnoticeable scar. Most gummy bear procedures I’ve seen have inframammary incisions and I would prefer no underboob scars. Can I get a transaxillary incision instead? is it safe?
