I was initially set on getting my augmentation done through the endoscopic transaxillary method to avoid a scar beneath my breast (not interested in having them done through the nipple) but my latest consultation mentioned a few risks of the transaxillary method so I am now debating what I want to do. Also, I am broad chested (boobs far apart) so is it harder to create cleavage with this method or easier?

Answer: Transaxillary augmentation Transaxillary augmentation carries a greater risk of implant malposition. This is in part because the surgeon can not visualize where the implant is being placed which could impact correct placement. This approach also carries a higher risk of capsular contracture.

Answer: Transaxillary Breast Augmentation Hello,I perform both transax and inframammary breast augmentation surgery, and I can tell you that the safest route is the inframammary, when we look at risk of complications, especially capsular contracture (peri-areolar has the highest risk). The inframammary scar has a bad reputation that it doesn’t deserve from the perspective of cosmesis.
