Armpit approach for implant exchange? (Photo)

February 27, 2024
Asked By:evangeline jamie in Avon Park, Florida

I hate my ugly scars that are on my actual breast. I know most doctors would want to re Cut me and position the scar low in the fold which I would like. But my skin is tight. The scar looks better when I pull my skin down towards the crease. I want I go bigger and do treatments to lessen my current scars. But I want to use the armpit approach to go bigger any thoughts? I think re cutting my scar to lower it is just going to make it look worse. Unless this is an easy revision doctors guarantee?
